At the Legal Society, Mr. Murray published a chapter in the Matthew Bender "Criminal Defense Techniques" series.
In 1996, Mr. Murray, along with James Shalley, founded the New York City Criminal Defense law firm Shalley and Murray. Mr. Murray has handled a steady stream of criminal cases of all types and varieties for more than twenty years. He has tried cases of all levels of seriousness. Mr. Murray has been called upon as an expert witness on the criminal law of the State of New York in an extradiction proceeding in which New York was seeking to extradict a person from London, England.
Initially focussing on New York City, the firm quickly gained a reputation that justified expanding to a second office that covered Westchester and Putnam County. Mr. Shalley manages the "upstate" portion of the firm's criminal defense practice.
