Stefanie A. Murphy

As a Partner at the Marin, Barrett, and Murphy Law Firm in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, Stefanie A. Murphy aggressively defends clients throughout the state who have been charged with criminal offenses. She is admitted to practice in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut, as well as before the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts and the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut.

Ms. Murphy serves adults and juveniles facing allegations of assault and sexual offenses, traffic violations, DUI/DWI, weapons and drug charges, and computer crimes, as well as assisting with expungement, probation issues and bail violations. Not only is she a fierce criminal law attorney, but she also has a vast understanding of civil litigation and vigorously seeks justice for victims of hit-and-run accidents and medical malpractice. She also represents clients in landlord-tenant disputes and provides assistance with wills and estate planning.

When family conflicts arise, the heightened tension and emotional strain may create situations where one spouse becomes abusive. Domestic violence sometimes leads people to file for restraining orders to protect themselves, and Ms. Murphy often helps spouses in these circumstances, as well as those dealing with family law matters such as divorce, child custody and support, and property division.

Professional memberships with the American Bar Association, the Rhode Island Bar Association and the Newport Bar Association continue the education and network support that began with Ms. Murphy’s undergraduate degree from the College of the Holy Cross and her Juris Doctor from the Roger Williams University School of Law. Her contributions to the field of criminal law include lectures to Rhode Island and Connecticut police departments on topics such as DUI, resisting arrest and Fourth Amendment search and seizure.
