Criminal Defense

Murray Law LLC represents criminal defendants in state and federal courts from arraignment through to trial and on appeal. Our representations have covered a broad range of white collar criminal matters, including bank fraud, mortgage fraud, insider trading, securities fraud, stock market manipulation, embezzlement, money laundering, health care fraud, bribery, computer-related crimes and tax evasion. The firm has extensive experience in federal sentencing issues, including Sentencing Guidelines calculations, sentencing mitigation and Bureau of Prisons issues. We have also represented whistleblowers, witnesses and targets in federal and state grand jury investigations.

Government Enforcement Proceedings

Murray Law LLC has represented individuals in investigations and enforcement proceedings brought by a wide range of legislative and regulatory bodies, such as the U.S. Congress (including the Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations), the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Internal Revenue Service, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the New York Attorney General's Office and the New York State Tax Department.

Complex Civil Litigation

Sophisticated civil litigation is an important part of Murray Law LLC's practice. Drawing on experience gained at New York's top law firms, our professionals have litigated a broad spectrum of civil cases in state and federal courts for individual and corporate clients, including claims of fraud, breach of contract, and business torts; partnership disputes; discrimination cases; intellectual property cases, including copyright, trademark and trade secret disputes; and securities fraud, RICO, and antitrust litigation.

Professional Representation

In addition to representing lawyers who are subjects or targets of criminal investigations, the firm has also represented and counseled attorneys accused of professional misconduct in internal disciplinary investigations as well as proceedings before disciplinary committees.

Appeals

Murray Law LLC's professionals are skilled in written and oral appellate advocacy. They have argued numerous appeals in civil and criminal cases in both state and federal courts, winning several notable reversals.

Trials

Murray Law LLC prides itself on its extensive trial experience. Principal attorney, JaneAnne Murray, has tried over twenty jury trials as lead counsel, garnering many acquittals and hung verdicts. Most recently, in February 2008, Ms. Murray obtained a hung jury verdict in a conspiracy trial in the Southern District of New York, United States v. Mason, 06-cr-80 (NRB). While the best result in a criminal case or in a litigation may often lie in a well-negotiated plea bargain or settlement, such results cannot be achieved without continually demonstrating, as Murray Law LLC does, the skill and determination to go to trial when necessary.
