About Nick
Nick Szokoly built his legal career in Maryland courts and firm conference rooms. He is a partner at Murphy, Falcon & Murphy and a familiar presence in the firm’s daily practice. Colleagues describe him as steady in hearings and deliberate in preparation. He prefers direct language and clear strategy when handling client matters.
Szokoly earned his J.D. from the University of Baltimore School of Law in 2003. His time at the law school coincided with practical training opportunities common to the program. He carried those routines into the early years of practice, shaping a practical approach to casework and client counseling.
After law school he established his practice in Maryland. Over the years he moved into increasingly responsible roles at Murphy, Falcon & Murphy. Today he is a partner. He handles a mix of responsibilities that include managing client files, preparing pleadings, and appearing in court. He also helps supervise junior lawyers and coordinates with staff to keep cases moving.
At the firm, Szokoly balances litigation duties and client meetings. He spends time preparing evidence and working on legal strategy. He often sits across the table from opposing counsel to negotiate and may take matters before judges when litigation cannot be resolved at the table. His work reflects the routine demands of an active firm practice rather than one narrow specialty.
Outside the courtroom, Szokoly engages with peers in the Maryland legal community. He attends local bar events and participates in professional gatherings. He also mentors newer attorneys at the firm, offering practical guidance on courtroom procedure and client communication. Those who have worked with him note an emphasis on clear expectations and steady preparation.
He currently practices at Murphy, Falcon & Murphy, representing clients in Maryland and managing firm matters across a range of legal issues.
