While our expertise covers a broad range of practice areas, our approach is always the same. Immediately adopt and implement a strategy to win the case as quickly and efficiently as possible. We are trial lawyers, not discovery litigators, and we use that experience to shape the entire litigation process. Our experience confirms that this approach not only results in better success at trial, but better settlements before trial.

We are particularly proud of the legal talent that we have assembled. Our partners are each skilled trial lawyers who have successfully tried cases against many of the best lawyers around the country. The lawyers that round out our team all have a wealth of experience both in and out of the courtroom. Many of our lawyers served as law clerks or judicial externs to state and federal judges, and most started their careers working for large national firms. Because of their knowledge and experience, our lawyers also serve as lecturers and legal commentators.

For a "boutique" litigation firm, our client base is exceptionally diverse. Our corporate clients range from Fortune 500 companies, to medium and small corporations, to various forms of partnerships and sole proprietorships. Our individual clients range from business executives, entertainment industry figures and partners of large national law firms to sole proprietors entangled in civil disputes. Geographically, we represent clients throughout California, the nation and in Europe. These clients all have one thing in common - the need for experienced trial lawyers who are committed to providing superior, high quality service in a focused and cost effective manner. At Murphy Rosen & Meylan, we pride ourselves in filling that need.

What distinguishes Murphy Rosen & Meylan is our ability to effectively and efficiently litigate and try cases with an unyielding focus on the client's short and long term goals. Each case must be litigated differently. In recognition of this fact, we initiate each case by asking one very simple, but often overlooked question: What does the client truly want? Murphy Rosen & Meylan is committed to the view that an effective litigation strategy can be implemented only after the bottom-line needs of the client are fully understood. We have assembled this team of lawyers because each has bought into this approach throughout their careers with unqualified success. This approach is what distinguishes Murphy Rosen & Meylan from the rest.

		Obtained settlements and judgments for our plaintiff clients totaling more than $94 million.
		Obtained defense verdicts for our clients in cases where the plaintiffs collectively were seeking more than $55 million.
