Law Firm Overview

Maya Murphy offers the expertise of the largest law firms around the country. We offer personalized service and individualized attention, often accommodating same day, weekend & evening appointments.

Today, our firm can look with pride at a roster of clients which range from individuals and privately owned businesses to major financial institutions and multi-national corporations. Other lawyers and law firms often pay us the ultimate compliment of retaining our services for their clients. We do not believe that every matter requires a large firm, cadres of lawyers or bureaucracy. Rather, ability, experience, service and direct accountability are the components of effective legal representation. We look forward to the opportunity to prove to you that these are not mere words; that both you and we will derive mutual satisfaction from the services we render for you.

We will not accept a matter unless we are certain we can service it efficiently and effectively. Every client is important to our firm and is treated accordingly. Potential conflicts of interest are promptly disclosed and frankly discussed. Matters are staffed at levels consistent with our goals of quality and economy. We do not assign two lawyers to do the job of one. We do not generate masses of unnecessary paperwork. A partner is assigned to supervise each client's matters and is available to confer with that client regarding the handling of those matters.

Most of our engagements are preceded by a conference at which client needs are carefully identified and realistic goals and fees for our representation are discussed and determined. The nature of our undertaking is set forth in a retainer agreement, which contains an explanation of our customary billing rates and charges. A partner is assigned personal responsibility for ensuring that the client's matters are promptly handled, appropriately staffed and fairly billed. We make every effort to foster informed client participation by periodic assessments of our progress toward accomplishing the defined goals of our representation. We encourage clients to maintain close contact with our firm through the candid and constructive interchange of ideas and information. We litigate in the federal and state courts and all arbitration tribunals, as well as before various administrative, regulatory and self-regulatory bodies, not only in New York but also throughout the United States, for domestic and international clients. A brochure can give little more than an overview of lawyers and their firm. Because we believe that the most valuable asset of Maya Murphy is its lawyers, we invite you to meet with us.

We recognize that a firm is as strong as each of its parts. We believe that intelligent use of technology allows us to provide better service to our clients and can significantly reduce their legal expenses.
