Experience That Informs My Strategy
Earlier in my career, I represented Fortune 500 companies in state and federal litigation, including employment matters. That experience provided valuable insight into how organizations evaluate legal exposure, defend employment decisions, and approach litigation. Today, I draw on that perspective when evaluating claims, developing litigation strategies, and negotiating on behalf of employees.
Direct communication
Realistic expectations
Thoughtful advocacy
Trial Experience & Candid Assessments
I represent employees in workplace disputes involving discrimination, retaliation, harassment, wage violations, disability, and protected leave.
My clients include hourly employees, managers, executives, and professionals across a wide range of industries. Whatever your role, my approach begins with the facts and a candid evaluation of your legal options.
Before joining any employer, consider what you value most in an employer:
Valuing clear communication and straightforward legal advice.
Preparing each case as though it will be decided in court.
Being personally available to the clients who have entrusted us with their most difficult professional challenges.
Clients receive thorough evaluations of the strengths and weaknesses of every claim, including the likelihood of success and potential outcomes.
Prior results in similar cases do not guarantee a particular outcome in any future case.

“I reached out to Marjorie to get her help with determining the best course of action for issues related to my recently being laid off. Time was of the essence. Marjorie responded quickly to get acquainted with my situation. She asked great questions, and took time to answer all of my questions completely and thoroughly! I felt as though I was talking to someone I could trust completely; Marjorie’s demeanor engenders an atmosphere of openness, transparency, trust, and professionalism. We worked together for just a short time, and we quickly came to agree on the best course of action. I would whole-heartedly recommend Marjorie to anyone searching for a direct, honest, transparent lawyer who will treat the client with respect.”

“I reached out to many law firms and mostly spoke with assistants. Marjorie was the first attorney I actually got to speak with directly. From the very first conversation, she stood out. She’s incredibly professional, straightforward, and honest, but also communicates clearly and promptly, which is rare these days, especially for someone running the entire practice herself. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and takes the time to make sure you understand every step of the process. I’m very grateful for her help and the way she handled my case.”

“I cannot say enough about Marjorie. She was patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire process. I was terminated from my job while on short-term disability after giving birth to my sleeping angel baby, an experience that was both heartbreaking and overwhelming. From our very first consultation, Marjorie transformed what felt like an impossible mountain into something I could face step by step. She kept me informed at every stage, offering thoughtful advice while always respecting my right to make the decisions that felt best for me. She answered my endless questions with patience, addressed every concern, and provided a sense of reassurance during one of the hardest times in my life. Marjorie truly went above and beyond to help resolve my situation, and I will always be grateful for her guidance and support. Thank you, Marjorie.”

“Marjorie was the ONLY lawyer in Houston who took the time to truly hear me out when everyone else turned a blind eye and because of her, everything worked out the way God intended it to. Marjorie is heaven sent. From day one, she was transparent, empathetic, realistic, and thorough. Her communication, patience, and professionalism are unmatched. She didn’t sugarcoat anything, but she always made sure I felt informed, supported, and empowered. I love her for the way she showed up for me. I genuinely believe God placed her in my life at the exact moment I needed her. If you’re looking for an attorney who will fight for you with honesty, heart, and unmatched dedication; this is the one. I am forever grateful. Marjorie and The Murphy Law Practice, I thank you.”
