About Christopher

Christopher Murphy, founder and principal defence attorney at Murphy's Lawyers Inc, has been an ardent court advocate since 1972, renowned for his dedication to defending individuals in litigation. With a career spanning over five decades, he has stood resolute in court, challenging evidence presented by police and accepted by judges. His advocacy extends beyond the courtroom; for five years, he penned a weekly column, Murphy's Law, for the Sydney Sun Herald, where he championed legal reform and brought attention to law enforcement injustices. This commitment contributed to a Royal Commission that ultimately addressed and remedied corruption within the police force and the judiciary. Murphy's legal prowess is highlighted by his management of the largest criminal law practice in Australia, achieving unparalleled success in cases ranging from homicide to petty theft. His clientele includes a diverse array of high-profile individuals such as Members of Parliament and Academy Award-winning actors, for whom he has successfully navigated complex civil matters. His expertise has also benefited billionaires, pop stars, celebrities, and even those with limited means, like street people and homeless children. Known for his formidable track record, his clients regard him as an unwavering advocate, always prepared to defend their interests diligently. Christopher Murphy holds a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Sydney, underpinning his distinguished career as a defence lawyer.
