Attorneys Who Mean Business
Ohio Expertise, National Excellence.-
Dennis E. Murray Sr.After over 50 years of practicing law, I still remember my first class-action lawsuit for the civil rights of women and persons of color. That’s my dedication—to give 100% effort to every moment that I work on each case.
-
Dennis E. Murray Jr.Placing that final piece to reveal the entire picture is what drew me to this profession. When a client trusts me to tell their story and bring them justice, that gives me the same satisfaction.
-
Charles M. MurrayNo different than most kids, I dreamt of being a hero as a child—and there was no bigger hero in my life than my father. He often told us stories about the people who were relying on him to resolve their tragedies; I always knew that was the kind of person I wanted to be.
-
Margaret M. MurrayI work to be an advocate for my clients and help them in the best and most meaningful way possible. Presenting a case to the court and having the clients understand just how much we care about their very personal and individual claims is very important to me.
-
James L. MurrayThe relationships with my clients are built through hours of listening and working together. That is what makes my job worthwhile. It is a great thrill when I get to tell clients that we’ve won a case and that they will be able to rebuild or improve their lives as a result of our hard work together.
-
Florence A. MurrayFairness has always been my driving force—knowing that no one ever deserves or wants to be in a situation where they need an attorney. I believe that one of the greatest joys in life is interacting with and helping other people, and it’s this knowledge that I take with me to my practice every day.
-
Nolan E. MurrayI treat each case and client as unique and strive zealously to advocate for the very real and personal issues facing them. At Murray & Murray, providing first-rate counsel is not an ambition, it is an expectation. Prior to joining Murray & Murray, I worked with clients as both a CPA and attorney solving complex problems at an international accounting firm and a large North American law firm.
-
Kelly E. MurrayI entered the legal profession because I was inspired by my family’s legacy of relentlessly pursuing justice for the most vulnerable members of our community. My focus is on providing steadfast support to our clients by leveraging the strength of nearly 100 years of success to ensure that justice is not just an aspiration, but a tangible reality for those we represent. I hope to provide not only practical legal counsel but also the dependable support of a family dedicated to upholding the rights and interests of our clients.
