FIRM HISTORY

Phillips Murrah P.C. was founded in 1986 by four attorneys with one guiding vision: To empower clients with the fresh insight, unique perspective and strategic legal counsel necessary to achieve and maintain a competitive edge. More than exceptional lawyers, we are business people who take time to truly understand the global objectives of our clients.

Over 25 years later, that vision thrives at the very heart of Phillips Murrah's robust culture. We have grown to become one of the preeminent law firms in the Southwest — providing a full line of business and litigation solutions — because, to our clients, we are more than lawyers, we are strategic partners.
