About

I am a trial attorney and partner with Slovak, Baron Empey Murphy & Pinkney LLP. Currently, my practice is primarily complex civil litigation (contract, land use, trade secrets, unfair business practices and intellectual property) and plaintiff's personal injury with an emphasis on the transmission of sexually-transmitted disease claims. Depending on the nature of the case, I handle both hourly-fee cases and contingency fee cases. In every case, I will discuss your matter free of charge to determine if I or my firm can help you and if you wish to retain us.Over the years, I have represented individuals and companies on a wide range of issues, including banking and financial services, employment claims, unfair competition, multi-jurisdictional product liability/recall actions, public and private construction disputes featuring delay/disruption/acceleration claims, and professional liability claims.In addition to law, I am avid golfer with a low single digit handicap, and I coach my twin boys' 9 and under baseball team.

Shaun represented me in a personal injury matter against a vicious predator and his army of victim blaming lawyers. The case went to trial and Shaun single handedly represented me with honor, dignity, and victory. Six lawyers in the courtroom for the opposing side were no match in the seven day trial against solo Shaun Murphy. I knew after the first interview I had with SBEMP that Shaun Murphy was the only lawyer who would properly handle my type of case. Shaun had the knowledge, experience and proven results in the often misunderstood and sensationalized type of personal injury case he represented me in. I spoke with several lawyers before talking to Shaun and they all wanted to take my case. It was only after Shaun reviewed my case that I felt comfortable in moving forward. It was the best thing I did. Shaun confidently and aggressively pursued justice until the mission was complete. Through pre-trial litigation, trial, appeals, and full collection Shaun was a pillar of integrity. He was always responsive and focused on justice. Shaun is not only a fierce litigator but he has a very high emotional intelligence as well. He knew exactly how to respond to me in my most difficult moments of a long haul. He was a rock solid pillar of strength all the way. I can never thank him enough for all that he did while fighting for me. Impeccable with his word. Impeccable honor. Don't trust your highly sensitive litigations matters to anyone else. Proven experience matters. Litigation with Shaun is not a drill or a legal experiment. He knows exactly what he is doing.

Shaun Murphy has been my attorney against Riverside County for the past 5 years. At the trial court level, the judge made some very poor decisions against me, which the 4th DCA reversed in full last week. Now I have the opportunity to hold the County accountable for some very serious federal civil rights violations, in addition to several state law torts. Throughout this long, difficult, and very trying process, Shaun Murphy has been a consummate legal professional. He has been personable, knowledgeable, and responsive to all of my legal needs and requirements. He co-authored a masterful appeal that formed the foundation for the appellate reversal in my favor at the 4th District Court of Appeal. He stood up to the bully man tactics of my legal opponents, and protected my legal rights at every critical juncture. Finally, Shaun Murphy has a feel for the litigation process that is difficult to quantify, but that is tactically invaluable, and it inspires client confidence at every point in the legal process. I highly recommend Shaun and his team at SBEMP for any and all of your legal needs.

Shaun Murphy is the best Attorney ever! My experience with him was a personal injury case. I contracted an STD from a man that I had been dating long term, who forgot to tell me that he had herpes before we had sex. The devastation, embarrassment and humiliation was unbelievable. My self worth was gone forever, or so I thought. One night I was watching the news and heard of this Attorney who had just won a 4.5 million dollar law suite for a simular case. I had no idea one could sue for something like this. I called his office the next day, told my story and he took me on as a client. Shaun is dedicated to these types of cases, so I felt no embarrassment when I had to discuss anything with him or anyone in the office. When I felt hopeless, Shaun always brought me strength. He was sure we would reach a settlement, which we eventually did. We had to fly to a different state to meet with the X and his Attorney. Four hours later, we settled! The very first day I spoke with Shaun, he told me that we would settle, but I had so many doubts at that time. I gotta hand it too him.... He sure knew what he was doing. He never gave up! Not only has Shaun won a settlement for me, but he was instrumental in helping me to believe in myself again and to trust in others. Thank you Shaun for making someone else think twice before spreading an STD around again! "One down..... thousands to go"! I would not hesitate to hire this man as my Attorney again. Highly recommend him, especially for Personal Injury involving an STD.

Shaun Murphy is a man of integrity, dignity and honor. He will fight his hardest for you and make you feel like his only client. My case was a landmark victory and I am sure without his expert knowledge and skills, the outcome would not have been as good. I would, and have, recommended him to everyone.

I met Shaun Murphy through a horrible circumstance in my life. I was at the lowest point of my life and saw no light at the end of the tunnel. Shaun came along side me and not only represented me, but truly defended me. My case and my interests became his interests. My children and their well being became his focus. Shaun truly has gone above and beyond every single day for me. When seeking to hire an attorney, one desires wisdom, discernment, and experience. Clearly, Shaun possesses those traits in abundance, but what you need to know about Shaun. Murphy is the intangibles....the things his resume doesn't say. Shaun checked on me daily to make sure I didn't fall too low emotionally. Shaun made me a part of my case and the legal team giving me purpose in the case and focus. Shaun was not afraid to truly go to battle for me against some high profile defendants. He does not shy away from the "playground bully". On the contrary, he walks in the middle of the basketball court and "takes the ball". Not only is Shaun my attorney, but he quickly became my friend. When battling stormy seas in your life, you want a captain at the helm who can negotiate the rough seas and navigate through the fierce storm with confidence and a calmness that is contagious.Shaun Murphy is that captain. It is rare to find a man of such conviction and passion. I'm blessed to have found him and so will you be.
