As a veteran-owned business, The Law Offices of Sean M. Murphy, P.C. would like to thank all who have served and continue to serve our country.

We would also like to draw attention to the many veterans that are suffering and do not receive the care they deserve.

These honorable men and women are our fathers, mothers, children, husbands, wives, brothers and sisters and they deserve so much better than they have received.

This Veteran's Day do more than thank a veteran for their service and get involved. If you know an indigent veteran in need of Pro Bono legal services please ask them to contact us.

We represent Downey Youth Baseball on a Pro Bono basis in this matter. In June 2020, James Medeiros resigned as Downey President. Subsequently, the new President and Treasurer reviewed the Downey Youth Baseball bank records and discovered several accounting discrepancies.

On October 19, 2020, after a preliminary investigation, The Law Offices of Sean M. Murphy, P.C., on behalf of Downey Youth Baseball, Inc. filed a civil action in Brockton Superior Court against James Medeiros.

This alleged theft has caused a significant financial hardship to the league. It is unfortunate for this type of thing to happen to anyone, let alone to kids. Please help these kids out by sharing and donating to their Go Fund Me page. The Law Offices of Sean M. Murphy, P.C. has agreed cover all litigation costs and any donations made will go directly to the league to help rebuild for the upcoming season.
