Texas’ New Immigration Enforcement Bill Hits Federal Appeals Court

ON WEDNESDAY, April 10, 2024, the lead attorney representing the state of Texas in the current immigration appeals court battle submitted a long-expected response to the court, expressing that the state may have overstepped its bounds when drafting Texas’ widely debated immigration-enforcement law SB-4. The Wednesday morning hearing, which was held before the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, was just the latest example of how high legal tensions are between the state and the current administration over the measure.

Despite this glaring concession on the state’s behalf, Texas’ Solicitor General Aaron Nielsen was quick to note that the state is still well within its right to enact SB-4, which aims to secure the border as well as the rest of the state.

Enacted in late 2023, SB-4 permits both local and state law enforcement officers to detain or arrest people suspected of being in the country illegally. Under the law, a first offense is considered a misdemeanor and repeat offenders will likely incur felony charges. Additionally, the law also permits any local judge, regardless of their prior legal knowledge or training on immigration matters, to order a migrant to return to Mexico, no matter their nationality. On several occasions, the Mexican government has gone on record opposing the law and has said it will not accept deported foreign nationals.

Widespread debate aside, that very same panel of judges who stated the law was excessive also decided last month, in a 2-to-1 decision, to keep the law on hold as the legal battle continues to boil over. Nielsen also said that decision was based partly on “inaccurate factual premises” about how the law is meant to work.

“What Texas has done here, is they have looked at the Supreme Court’s precedent, and they have

tried to develop a statute that goes up to the line of Supreme Court precedent but allows Texas to protect the border. Now, to be fair, maybe Texas went too far. And that’s the question this court’s going to have to decide. Texas takes them to the port of entry. And the United States then decides what to do,” stated Nielsen, as originally reported by KERA National Public Radio. Additionally, Nielsen also said that the state will not continue to detain or arrest a migrant if they aren’t allowed to enter Mexico.

“The law also permits any local judge, regardless of their prior legal knowledge or training on immigration matters, to order a migrant to return to Mexico, no matter their nationality.”

Andrew Oldham, one of the presiding judges over the case who previously served as Governor Abbott’s general counsel, casted the deciding vote in last month’s order that blocked the law. In Wednesday’s hearing, he reportedly asked attorneys representing the administration about their reliance on a 2012 U.S. Supreme Court decision that Oldham stated did not adhere to the federal government’s request: to block a law before it has gone into full effect. In that case out of Arizona, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled immigration enforcement was largely under the scope of the federal government.

Recently, the Mexican government issued a statement, expressing that the law could only look to sour the current relationship between the U.S. and Mexico. As it stands, the appeals court has yet to issue a ruling and it’s unclear at this time when it will issue its opinion.

BROPHY & BLAND, PLLC COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE

WITH MORE THAN

three decades of transactional and litigation experience, Joseph F. Brophy is uniquely qualified to handle matters ranging from small contract disputes to bet-the-company cases. His impressive track record extends nationwide and has earned him significant recognition in the legal community.

Since 2013, Brophy has been selected by his peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America® for Commercial Litigation. He also has been named in the Texas Super Lawyers list of top-rated business and securities litigation lawyers, published by Thomson Reuters; and Princeton Global Networks’ Top 100 Lawyers in America and among America’s Top 100 High Stakes Litigators.

While many business litigators have limited trial experience, Brophy began his career at the civil defense litigation boutique Ball & Weed, where cases – which ranged from slip-and-fall cases and car accidents to more serious nursing home, products liability and business matters – were often tried to a jury. Later, Brophy joined legendary trial lawyer Dan Bishop in Austin, where he expanded his practice with an emphasis

on business litigation and serving as outside general counsel to a wide array of businesses.

“My varied experience has served me well in my practice, allowing me to handle all types of business litigation and civil disputes and also act as general counsel for companies across several different industries, ranging from structured finance, clean energy to commercial real estate and construction and others,” notes Brophy. “It has equipped me with the skills and insights necessary to navigate complex legal issues and provide my clients with effective solutions.”

Today, Brophy is considered a go-to lawyer for business and civil litigation and business deals across Texas and the country. His firm, Brophy & Bland, also has experience successfully handling high-networth divorce matters, particularly those involving significant assets and business interests.

“In every matter we handle, our approach is tailored to our clients’ objectives, and we seek to win on their terms.” That means tailored strategies rooted in experience that spans from the contemporary boardroom to the courtroom.

Kenya S. Woodruff Health Care Law

Dallas/Fort Worth, TX

Since 1999, Kenya S. Woodruff has dedicated her legal career to representing and guiding hospitals, physicians and other health care providers aimed at improving the overall performance of their clinical operations, ensuring state and federal regulatory compliance is met.

Currently a partner at Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, Woodruff has gained experience serving as deputy general counsel at the Parkland Health & Hospital System, always approaching operational legal issues from the client’s perspective. Recognized in The Best Lawyers in America® since 2019, Woodruff is currently being honored as “Lawyer of the Year” for Health Care Law in the Dallas/Fort Worth area for 2024.

Of her legal career and recent recognition, Woodruff stated: “Amongst the various public and private entities and providers that I represent are hospital districts. Prior to coming back to private practice, I was deputy general counsel for a hospital district, and now I represent several of the largest hospital districts in the state. I have supported various regulatory, contracting and governmental entity compliance matters for them, and it is a privilege to work with entities that are such a vital part of the health care safety net system. This, in part, I feel is the credit of my legal success and current recognition.

“The variety and complexity of my daily work is challenging and engaging. Also, knowing that my work is a key piece in ensuring access to quality health care for those across the state adds another level of significance and importance to even the most basic assignment. The most challenging aspect of health care law is the high degree of regulation for the entities and individuals involved in the industry. Health care, being so central to our lives, state, local and federal governments, are focused on legislating and auditing the industry to protect patients and consumers. Our role is to help ensure that these activities are done in a way that properly supports the ultimate goal of ensuring access to quality health care.”

Garnering nearly 30 years of legal experience, Woodruff also serves as National Chair of Katten’s Health Care Practice Group, a role she assumed earlier this year. In addition to her in-house work, Woodruff previously served as assistant general counsel for a national radiology services company.

With a knack for providing strategic advice to many different areas of the health care industry, Woodruff continually works to show up for her client. Whether it’s a physician group currently in negotiations with a hospital system or a care company facing an ongoing internal investigation, Woodruff’s legal experience gives her valuable edge in terms of perspective.

“I really enjoy working with smart attorneys who are observant and can appropriately tailor their approach and style to be effective in various situations,” concluded Woodruff.

Daniel J.T. Sciano and the lawyers of Tinsman & Sciano, Inc. continued a 43-plus-year tradition of excellence in 2024 by providing a courtroom voice for injured Texans in all areas of civil and catastrophic injury law.

“The firm is comprised of dedicated professionals who are passionate in advocating the rule of law,” said firm CEO Sciano, who Texas’ Best Lawyers® named as the San Antonio “Lawyer of the Year” in 2010 and 2012 for Personal Injury Litigation–Plaintiffs. “Through our successes, I believe we have helped create a safer environment for clients, our neighbors, and future generations. And we have every intention of furthering our mission.”

The results are a positive reflection of the firm’s commitment to justice. Tinsman & Sciano has a history of requiring changes in safety policy or modifying or removing unsafe products from the marketplace, as part of out-of-court settlements to prevent similar tragedies from occurring. Whether it is an unsafe product, unreasonably dangerous premises condition, or a trucking or construction company whose safety management systems failed, resulting in severe injury or death, Tinsman & Sciano passionately pursues the resolution of those claims voluntarily or involuntarily.

Recent results include multimilliondollar verdicts and settlements involving motor carriers transporting unsecured loads resulting in death; and a double-axle construction trailer that lost a steel rim and tire due to lack of maintenance, causing two catastrophic injuries.

Other complex matters handled by the firm to successful completion on the part of its clients include, unsafe turning of a delivery truck and trailer that struck and toppled a brick wall seriously injuring a teacher at a school; careless, unsafe driving in wet weather conditions by a commercial motor vehicle operator causing a fatal headon collision that took the life of a petroleum engineer and seriously injured his wife; unsafe premises conditions that caused apartment residents to be poisoned by carbon monoxide spewed from improperly maintained furnaces.

Additionally, a very favorable jury verdict was obtained in a recent head-on collision caused by an unsafe company vehicle operator who was traveling twice the recommended safe speed while texting

on a blind curve, catastrophically injuring a husband and wife traveling home after celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.

Sciano also made national headlines by representing the family of one of the 26 victims killed in the Sutherland Springs church shooting in 2017 – the largest mass shooting in Texas. In that case, a Federal District Court judge placed the majority of responsibility on the United States of America for its actions and inactions in not reporting to the national database designed to prevent dangerous persons from purchasing guns from Federal Firearms Licensees.

“We believed in the fight and collaborated with other experienced lawyers familiar with the Federal Tort Claims Act to seek justice for those killed and injured,” Sciano said. Tinsman & Sciano is perhaps best known for success in trucking litigation, having held some of the most well-funded employers accountable for unlawful hiring practices and the unsafe actions of their drivers. The firm has consistently delivered their advocacy skills, reaching voluntary or involuntary resolution of these often factually complex tragedies.

Sciano’s willingness to keep roadways safe transcends the courtroom. In Texas, less than 1% of licensed lawyers are double Board Certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Sciano is Board Certified in both Personal Injury Trial Law and Civil Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and is triple Board Certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA) in Civil Trial Law, Civil Practice Advocacy, and Truck Accident Law.

The media and legal community have honored the firm, as well. Best Law Firms® 2024 once again ranked the firm as Metro Tier 1 in San Antonio for both Personal Injury Litigation–Plaintiffs and Medical Malpractice Law–Plaintiffs. Texas’ Best Lawyers has listed member Stephen F. Lazor as the San Antonio “Lawyer of the Year” for Medical Malpractice Law–Plaintiffs in 2021 and 2018. Texas’ Best Lawyers also recognized firm member Lawrence J. Webb in 2022 for his advocacy in Personal Injury Litigation– Plaintiffs.

“There is a special satisfaction drawn from supporting people who need help,” Sciano said. “We strive to provide a unique blend of justice and compassion, and that philosophy permeates everything we do.”

Unflinching Warriors

Trial attorneys Michael Lyons and Christopher Simmons are dedicated to their clients’ well-being.

WITH A REPUTATION for securing recordsetting results in catastrophic personal injury and wrongful-death cases, the attorneys of the Dallas trial firm Lyons & Simmons approach every case as if they were personally involved. And truth be known, it’s because they take every case personally.

Focused on helping clients who have suffered life-altering injuries, firm founders Michael Lyons and Christopher Simmons are devoted to leveling the playing field for those who seemingly have the deck stacked against them.

“Plain and simple, we give our clients our all, because they deserve attorneys who are dedicated to their current and future well-being,” Lyons says. “It is a serious responsibility when you represent the victims of catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death. They rely on us to help make things right. We will never take that trust for granted.”

For Lyons & Simmons, victory isn’t just measured in large verdicts and settlements. It also involves increasing corporate accountability to make people’s lives and well-being — not company profits — the top priority.

“All too often, we will learn early on that the unacceptable corporate practices that resulted in a catastrophic injury or death were not just being allowed to happen but, in certain situations, also encouraged,” Simmons says. “When you see that, you feel compelled not only to make things right for the client but also to put an end to those practices before additional tragedies occur. Corporations too often look at profits over human impact. We want to make sure companies realize that it is not an acceptable business model. The priority should be on keeping employees and customers safe so that you prevent needless tragedies.”

It is this focused approach that has helped earn the firm a reputation for big results in

important cases.

In 2023, Lyons was a key member of the multifirm trial team that secured a verdict in excess of $860 million on behalf of the family of a young woman who was tragically killed when a tower crane collapsed, tearing through her Dallas apartment building during a storm event. Earlier this year, Lyons also served on a trial team that secured a $37.5 million wrongful death verdict against Oncor in a distracted-driver case.

In 2022, Lyons & Simmons secured a $10.1 million jury verdict on behalf of a client who was left a paraplegic when emergency care at a North Texas hospital was delayed significantly in disregard of hospital policies.

The trial was streamed live, gavel to gavel, by Courtroom View Network (CVN), providing an immersive opportunity typically reserved only for in-person courthouse spectators. Those who tuned in heard the Lyons & Simmons trial team meticulously lay out a compelling case proving the stringent standard required under Texas law of “willful and wanton negligence” on behalf of the hospital. This standard, which mirrors gross negligence, makes emergency room cases very difficult for plaintiffs to recover, helping propel the win to inclusion among CVN’s Top 10 Most Impressive Plaintiff Verdicts of 2022.

Lyons & Simmons’ work has earned additional professional recognition from legal and business organizations, including the prestigious John Howie Award from the Dallas Trial Lawyers Association for “the courageous pursuit of justice in the face of adversity” in 2021. The firm has also earned a National Law Journal Elite Trial Lawyers finalist distinction twice in the past three years and is the only Dallas-based personal injury firm to earn four consecutive honors in Texas Lawyer ’s “Best Of” reader survey. The respect

that the firm holds among its peers helped propel it into leadership role on the Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee appointed by the multidistrict litigation court in the Astroworld concert masscasualty incident.

“When you are entrusted with representing a victim of a catastrophic personal injury or wrongful death, you feel the weight of that responsibility,” Lyons says. “Often, these are individuals who are facing the biggest adversity they will be forced to endure in their lifetimes. Their lives have been torn apart, and they need help finding a way forward.”

Among these clients is the widow of a man killed in a 2022 head-on collision with a drunk, wrong-way driver on a North Texas tollway. When she came to Lyons & Simmons, she had two ambitions: to close down the bar that had overserved the driver and to help create change that would honor her husband.

By securing a seven-figure settlement, the attorneys created the impetus for the permanent closure of the bar, which was well-known to local police and the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission for its history of alcohol-fueled violence and overserving patrons, including minors. Among law enforcement, the bar was so notorious that responding officers identified it as the source of the alcohol involved in the crash almost immediately. The attorneys also are helping push for the adoption of technology that will create roadway alerts warning approaching motorists of the presence of wrong-way drivers, giving them the chance to safely move out of harm’s way.

“We’ve said it many times, but our clients’ problems are our problems, and we’re not going to stop until we find a way to right the wrongs they have experienced,” Simmons says. “That approach resonates with our clients, and we will never take their trust for granted.”

Forging a Legal Legacy

Texas trial icon Dan Cogdell on his impactful career in criminal defense

INTHE VAST legal landscape of Texas, where cases unfold with complexity and depth, Dan Cogdell stands out as a master of the courtroom. With a career that spans over four decades, his record of trial success is a testament to skill and strategy. The talk of the legal community isn’t just about his storied past—it’s about a present that’s equally as compelling.

Cogdell’s approach is methodical, his demeanor in court engaging. His triumphs, from the Branch Davidian case to the notorious Enron saga, where he secured the only acquittal, resonate as case studies in deft defense. These highprofile victories across numerous states have crafted a reputation that many aspire to, but few attain.

charges to such effect that the prosecution withdrew their claims. “Upon serious investigation, the prosecution saw the writing on the wall,” Cogdell comments. “They knew a trial would be an uphill battle against us.”

“From the Branch Davidian case to the notorious Enron saga, where he secured the only acquittal, resonate as case studies in deft defense. These high-profile victories across numerous states have crafted a reputation that many aspire to, but few attain.”

As recent events testify, Cogdell is not one to coast on his past achievements. The impeachment trial of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, with allegations ranging from bribery to abuse of power, provided a stage for Cogdell’s latest performance. With a brisk three months of preparation, Cogdell helped to dismantle the prosecution’s case, leading to an acquittal on 16 charges, with four more dismissed.

Spring of 2024 saw Cogdell continuing his winning streak. He navigated the complexities of Paxton’s securities fraud

Each case adds to his firm’s repertoire of successes. This March, Codgell’s client, a former ExxonMobil executive, was cleared of sexual assault charges. In another case, a plea of guilt to a charge as serious as poisoning could have led to years behind bars, but the sentence was a mere six months.

Cogdell, reflecting on his career, underscores the importance of consistency over singular, high-profile cases. “Clients are looking for a track

record of success, not just a one-time victory,” he asserts. “That’s the standard we set.”

Dan Cogdell’s legal journey continues to be defined by his unwavering commitment to his clients and his respected presence in the courtroom. His legacy is built on a foundation of relentless advocacy and a deep understanding of the law, ensuring his place among the esteemed figures of Texas’s legal field.

Battle-Tested Dedication for Truck Wreck Victims

Courtroom legend Frank Branson gives voice to the voiceless.

THE CURRENT STATE OF our nation’s roadways is nothing short of a crisis. Statistics show a steady increase in fatality crashes and disastrous wrecks in recent years. Even when a commercial truck is traveling at a low speed, it can cause serious damage to the motor vehicles it strikes in a crash. Drivers and passengers can suffer catastrophic injuries, assuming they survive at all. These injuries are often permanent, and victims are left with outrageous medical bills, lost wages, long-term health issues and, in some cases, inability to work and make a living. That’s why Frank L. Branson works tirelessly to hold negligent truck drivers and trucking companies accountable, with unwavering dedication to protecting the citizens of Texas.

The Lone Star State has more interstate mileage than any other and is home to over 66,000 trucking companies, contributing to Texas’ consistent ranking among the states with the highest number of big rig

accidents in the country.

Too often, truck wrecks are linked to fatigue, lack of training and inadequate supervision. Operating these machines under such misguidance is far too dangerous for the average drivers that consume Texas roadways.

“When negligent truck companies and their drivers hurt my clients, they don’t get away with it,” said trial lawyer Frank L. Branson.

members of his legal team on its 2024 list of the top 10 personal injury lawyers in Dallas.

“When negligent truck companies and their drivers hurt my clients, they don’t get away with it.”

Branson, a trial legend who founded the award-winning Law Offices of Frank L. Branson in 1978, has achieved recordsetting jury verdicts and settlements and has dedicated his life to helping consumers get justice. He is the one that people turn to when their lives have been upended by injuries or death and that other lawyers turn to for help with their most significant cases. Forbes Advisor even listed Branson and two

His advocacy has brought national attention and awareness to truck safety while securing favorable compensation and results on behalf of families devastated by negligence. State and federal regulations say truck companies must maintain adequate hiring and training procedures for drivers, including special licenses, physical exams and limitations on driving hours.

“Now, if only the negligent trucking companies would adhere to these standards,” said Branson. “Drivers nowadays are overworked, inexperienced and often underpaid, which can lead to carelessness while en route. The case is, and has always been, that the trucking industry puts profits over safety.”

Solving Texas Trucking and Transportation Troubles

Tinsman & Sciano, Inc. Co-Founder and CEO Daniel J.T. Sciano is one of Texas’ top authorities on trucking safety and litigation, having secured countless verdicts and settlements for victims of company vehicle accidents in his 43-year career. Twice named Best Lawyers® “Lawyer of the Year” in San Antonio (2010 and 2012) for Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiff, Sciano discusses the trends on his radar and how his passion for trucking litigation transcends from courtrooms to classrooms.

TEXAS

was was the state with the most deaths resulting from large truck crashes in 2022, according to the latest figures available from the National Safety Council. With 810 fatalities that year, the Lone Star State easily surpassed the sum of Florida and California’s fatal truck crashes combined. “Since 2016, the number of trucks involved in injury crashes has increased 18% and, sadly, the number of deaths increased 2% from 2021 and is up 49% in the last ten years,” Dan Sciano notes. “Reckless and unsafe driving is often a result of failed company safety management systems and the inability to enforce safety standards by commercial motor carriers. This indifference to safety puts Texans’ lives at risk.”

Experience and Leadership

Sciano is Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law and Civil Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. This dual certification is a key credential that supports his leadership status among the plaintiffs’ bar. Out of 110,000 lawyers licensed to practice law in Texas, only 890 – less than 1% – are dual Board Certified. He also helps author the board certification exam questions for Truck Accident Law used by the National Board of Trial Advocacy

(NBTA), a nonprofit organization devoted to improving the quality of trial advocacy and aiding consumers in their selection of experienced legal representation. Dan is triple Board Certified by the NBTA in Civil Trial Law, Civil Practice Advocacy and Truck Accident Law. NBTA Board Certification is the only accreditation for Truck Accident Law recognized by the American Bar Association and the U.S. Supreme Court. His specialized skills and dedication to victims of truck accidents include authoring articles and thoughtful leadership pieces. He has also spoken for decades on issues affecting the trial of trucking crashes at the State Bar of Texas’ advanced Continuing Legal Education seminars and numerous local bar associations. By a vote of his peers, Sciano has been listed for 29 straight years to The Best Lawyers in America® for Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs .

Tackling Texas Trends

Sciano’s devotion to protecting Texas residents is unwavering. He notes the sand, rock and gravel haulers are a significant sector of the industry with a particularly troubling safety record, too often supported by small chameleon motor carriers – trucking companies cited or

closed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). These companies are notorious for having marginal safety records or tenuous financial situations, and they try to elude the FMCSA by quickly changing their names and addresses and restarting operations

“Due, in part, to the lack of adequate enforcement officers,” Sciano notes, “these chameleon carriers spread like a cancer, driving out safer motor carriers in the industry and ultimately endangering all of us.” With his finger on the pulse of these troubling trends, Texans injured due to chameleon motor carriers and other unsafe drivers can find solace in his advocacy. Daniel J.T. Sciano is a distinguished 43-year Board Certified lawyer whose career has been punctuated by a series of remarkable trucking cases that have captured headlines and – more importantly – delivered justice where it was due.

The legal landscape is fraught with challenges, Sciano notes, but his impact in and out of the courtroom has earned him the trust and gratitude of clients and the legal community. “We zealously represent innocent victims within the bounds of the law,” Sciano says. “Our record of success is a testament to our pursuit of justice.”

ERIN BOGDANOWICZ of Bogdanowicz Family Law is committed to helping families navigate the unique challenges of high-conflict divorces. Complex property issues should be handled by someone with extensive experience, which is exactly what Bogdanowicz offers. Bogdanowicz founded the boutique firm Bogdanowicz Family Law in 2019. After practicing at some of the most prestigious law firms in the area, it was important to her to craft a team of people who could provide dedicated legal services in the field of domestic litigation and answer the call of clients struggling with extremely complex custody and property issues.

Bogdanowicz is Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a specialization held by approximately 1% of the attorneys in Texas, and handles cases in all areas of domestic and family law. She is a skilled negotiator, is trained in collaborative law, and is also a certified family law mediator. But courtroom advocacy is where she shines. “I’m persistent and won’t back down from a challenge,” she says. “We are a clientdriven firm. Their needs are our top priority. Family law can be very complex, which is why I am always learning and growing to provide even better service to my clients.” Bogdanowicz believes knowledge is the foundation of a good family lawyer. And compassion for clients is essential. “If you cannot feel for and understand the clients, you will not be able to provide the high level of representation these clients deserve”, says Bogdanowicz.

Practicing law is an art, not a science. For Bogdanowicz, “Each case needs a custom-tailored plan of action that is created to fit the client and their personal needs. The quality of your work shows the quality of your character.” Bogdanowicz is a frequent speaker on numerous family law topics for the Texas State Bar and other organizations, and has authored numerous articles, courses, and papers on various topics in family law.

ONES TO WATCH AWARDS

These recognitions are given to attorneys who are earlier in their careers for outstanding professional excellence in private practice in the United States. Our “Ones to Watch” recipients typically have been in practice for 5-9 years. Our methodology for determining these awards remains the same as it did when Best Lawyers was founded more than 40 years ago: peer-review. Lawyers are the best resource to provide feedback on the caliber of work performed by their peers. “Ones to Watch” is not a seed list to Best Lawyers and all hopeful candidates must be nominated and vetted by their peers recognized in Best Lawyers. Visit bestlawyers.com/ones-to-watch for more details

Doug Murphy Law Firm, P.C.

Criminal Defense, DUI/DWI, Federal Crimes

Doug Murphy is renowned as one of the most skilled criminal defense attorneys in Texas. His unwavering commitment to justice has safeguarded the rights of clients by swaying even the most skeptical juries in a state known for zealous prosecutions. His outstanding trial record is highlighted by acquittals and dismissals, which attests to his exceptional advocacy.

“Our clients are frequently people who either made a regrettable choice, or were unwitting participants in a complex matter,” said Murphy, who was named the “Lawyer of the Year” by The Best Lawyers in America® for DUI/DWI Defense in Houston in 2021 and 2023. “They are presumed innocent by our court system, and we fight to maintain that innocence.”

With Murphy in a client’s corner, the accused is assured representation by a recognized authority in all areas of criminal defense. His knowledge skills and presence distinguish him as one of only three Texas lawyers Board Certified in Criminal Law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and in DWI Defense from the National College for DUI Defense, the latter being the sole DWI certification endorsed by both the American Bar Association and Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

Though his reputation in DUI/DWI cases is unmatched, Murphy has emerged as an equally impactful advocate in other areas of defense. These charges run the gamut from allegations of assault, large scale theft and murder to federal crimes.

“Working with some of the best lawyers in the U.S. has been instrumental to my trial preparation and developing an innovative theme to a case and persuasively attacking legal and scientific evidence issues,” Murphy said. Murphy’s dedication to justice is matched only by his passion for strengthening the bar. He is a former Dean of the National College for DUI Defense conducted at Harvard Law School; overall he has taught successful legal strategies to lawyers and has presented more than 140 continuing legal education seminars throughout the U.S. He is also a former President of

the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association and served two terms on the Board of Directors for the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association, and currently serves as CoChairman of the DWI Committee.

His presence throughout his more than 25 years in practice have been truly impactful. Countless other lawyers – including those Murphy has argued against – have referred their relatives and clients to his firm when they need representation, which is a testament to his professionalism and skilled advocacy. Murphy’s reputation has also led to a strategic alliance with another renowned Texas defense attorney, Rusty Hardin, who was named the “Lawyer of the Year” by The Best Lawyers in America for Criminal Defense: White-Collar in Houston in 2019. Murphy serves as of counsel to Rusty Hardin & Associates, LLP, which he said will expand the resources and expertise for both firms.

And the future of Doug Murphy Law Firm, as it transitions to Murphy & McKinney, LLP is bright. Christopher M. McKinney, recently promoted to Partner in 2024, has been instrumental in driving its success over the past six years by tapping into his unique six years of experience as a Special Crimes Prosecutor, Harris County District Attorney’s Office. His contributions are emblematic of the exceptional talent shared by the firms’ lawyers and staff, who have all presented innovations in technology and scientific methods which are regularly leveraged in the courtroom.

“I’m honored to work with a great team of smart, hard-working and caring individuals,” Murphy said. “Their tremendous heart, work ethic and tenacity are key to achieving great results for our clients. I’m proud to work with them every day. Whether we represent an executive, professional athlete, police officer, doctor, lawyer, health care professional, judge or other hardworking individual, each deserves the best we have to offer.

Helping good folks, it’s what we do.”
