Defense of Law Enforcement
Law Enforcement Officers are under attack like never before. Woke politicians, political correctness, and a biased media are spewing hate and fear of the police based upon false narratives, and other misinformation. Amazingly, these extraordinary human beings continue to come to work, suit-up and go out on patrol to honor their oath to defend the State and Federal Constitution and protect and serve the community.
Without question, today’s police officers must perform their duties cleaner, more intelligently, and professionally than any generation of police officer before. The Law Office of Joseph W. Murray is honored to offer quality legal representation to members of the Law Enforcement Community of all ranks.
Criminal Defense
DO NOT FIGHT THE POLICE. CALL JOE MURRAY.
If you are a criminal suspect, a fugitive, a person of interest, or even the victim of a misidentification, or false arrest,

Nothing good ever comes from fighting with the police, but those that do will usually end up with more severe charges, being hospitalized, and endangering their own lives and the lives of others.

- Stay calm, keep your hands visible;
- Know your Constitutional Rights;
- Record the interaction;
- Immediately request an attorney;
- Call attorney Joe Murray!

That is why you should immediately consult with the Law Firm of Joseph W. Murray to educate yourself on your situation and immediately gather up and preserve all possible evidence.
Federal Crimes
A federal indictment always begins in the caption with, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, against, “John Doe”… That is the reality, that the awesome power of the United States government is against you. If you have ever been in the crosshairs of the United States Government you know just how intimidating that can be.
The government has limitless resources and awesome coercive powers at its fingertips to use against you. As such, you need to be represented by a fearless advocate who will defend your rights to the fullest extent of the law. The Law Office of Joseph W. Murray has defended numerous cases in federal courts of the EDNY and SDNY.
