Rob Murphy
Mr. Murphy was born in New York but relocated to the Tampa Bay area in the early 1990’s. He graduated from Tarpon Springs High School and earned his bachelor’s degree in three years from The University of South Florida in Tampa, FL. While completing his undergraduate degree, Mr. Murphy had the opportunity to work for the Hillsborough County State Attorney’s Office and a Hillsborough County Circuit Court Judge. The opportunity solidified his desire to become a Trial Attorney.
Mr. Murphy obtained his Juris Doctorate from Florida State University College of Law, earning a Pro Bono Service Award and the highest course grade in Constitutional Law. After law school he returned to Tampa to begin his legal career. For the first 8 years of Mr. Murphy’s career, he defended personal injury, medical malpractice, nursing home, and long-term care clients. He became a Partner at a nationwide firm; however, he was far more passionate about helping people, the people in the community where he has lived for more than 30 years. Helping those you know and care for is far more rewarding and meaningful than mitigating corporate risk.
Since then, his practice has been dedicated to representing the injured, and the families of the injured, in a vast array of personal injury, medical malpractice, nursing home, and long-term care cases throughout Florida. His time spent representing “the other side” has provided invaluable experience litigating cases against those large corporations and insurance companies.
Mr. Murphy is admitted to practice in all Florida State and Federal Courts. He is a member of the Florida Bar, Hillsborough County Bar Association, Florida Justice Association, and Tampa Bay Trial Lawyers Association.
