About Matthew J.
Matthew J. Murphy is an attorney who practices at Murphy Law Office. He handles cases that regularly involve contested hearings and courtroom work. He represents individuals in disputes that arise from workplace injuries and the aftermath of accidents.
Murphy moved into practice after passing the bar and spent his early years building practical courtroom experience. He has represented clients before administrative tribunals and in civil proceedings. He prepares pleadings, gathers evidence and presents testimony. He often guides clients through the claims process from initial filing to resolution.
Over time Murphy developed a practice that blends litigation and client counseling. He pursues settlements when they serve his clients’ interests. He also prepares cases for trial when settlement is not an option. He approaches each matter with the same basic elements: careful fact gathering, attention to deadlines and an eye toward the procedural posture that will matter most at hearing.
He is a member of the Montana Trial Lawyers Association, the Workers Injury Law and Advocacy Group and the American Bar Association. Those associations provide access to continuing education and professional meetings. He takes part in those gatherings to stay current on changes in workers’ compensation rules and trial practice developments.
Murphy’s courtroom work is paired with regular client contact. He explains case steps and the options available at each stage. He attends depositions and hearings, and prepares advocacy materials that judges and hearing officers can rely on. He manages litigation tasks that range from discovery to argument preparation. His practice handles disputes that turn on medical records, employer reports and regulatory requirements.
Outside of hearings, Murphy’s work can involve negotiations with insurers and opposing counsel. He evaluates settlement offers and lays out the potential outcomes so clients can choose a path they understand. He aims to keep cases moving and to resolve matters as efficiently as possible while preserving clients’ rights.
He practices at Murphy Law Office, where his work concentrates on workplace injury, workers’ compensation claims and civil trial work.
