Peyton murphy relishes the relationships he’s built while he and his legal team have helped thousands of injured victims throughout Louisiana who were involved in automobile accidents, tractor trailer accidents, premises liabilities, product liabilities, wrongful death claims, dangerous pharmaceuticals, defective medical devices, improper residential construction and asbestos exposure.
In the end, those relationships are what truly matters to Murphy. In a case involving catastrophic loss and serious injuries, lawyers have the opportunity to form lasting connections with the injured plaintiff and their family. “We do not choose this career path unless we want to help people and those lives we are fortunate enough to positively impact make it all worthwhile,” says Murphy.

On April 23, Murphy Law Firm will celebrate its 31st year of service after opening in Baton Rouge. These days, Peyton is blessed to be able to advise and counsel the second and third generations of the families of previous clients. “There’s no greater honor than a former client referring their child, grandchild or other loved one,” reflects Murphy. Murphy Law Firm takes pride in having such a high percentage of referrals based on the quality of assistance rendered to past clients.
Murphy believes his role as an injury attorney is to fight to ensure that insurance companies treat his injured clients fairly. When defendants are unwilling to resolve claims for a fair amount, Murphy and his team will go to trial and fight for his clients. Murphy assures that “every lawyer in the office has the experience necessary to take a case from the initial consultation all the way through trial and appeals.”
