About Michelle
Michelle McCarthy practices law at Murray & McCarthy Law, where she handles a steady caseload for individual and business clients. She is known within her office for steady attention to detail and a straightforward approach to problem solving. Colleagues describe her as practical and thorough.
After completing her legal training, McCarthy moved into client work that combined counseling and litigation. Early in her career she worked on courtroom matters and negotiated on behalf of clients. Over time she balanced courtroom work with case preparation and client advising, building a practice that spans both contested and transactional matters.
Her daily work includes intake and fact investigation, drafting pleadings and agreements, and preparing for hearings. She spends time in depositions, in mediation sessions and in court when cases require it. That mixture gives her a broad view of how different methods of dispute resolution play out, and informs how she prepares clients at each stage.
McCarthy handles a variety of legal tasks that touch on contract disputes, small business issues, and personal legal matters. She represents clients in negotiations and in the formal procedures that follow when parties cannot reach agreement. Her files often require document review, strategic planning and coordination with experts or opposing counsel.
Clients who work with McCarthy often note her direct communication style. She presents legal options plainly and lays out likely next steps. That clarity helps people make informed decisions about settlements, trial risk and timelines. In higher-stakes matters she focuses on organizing the factual record and testing opposing positions early.
Within the firm she collaborates with other attorneys to manage caseloads and to prepare complex filings. She also supervises support staff on case logistics and evidence organization. Those internal responsibilities free senior lawyers to focus on trial strategy while ensuring routine matters progress without delay.
Outside the immediate case work, McCarthy keeps current on procedural and substantive updates that affect her clients. She monitors changes in court practice and incorporates those shifts into how cases are handled and documented. Her approach is practical. She aims to resolve matters efficiently while preserving clients’ options for trial when needed.
She currently practices at Murray & McCarthy Law, handling legal matters for individuals and businesses.
