Counsel

Stephanie I. (Urness) Murphy

I want my clients to feel supported in all aspects of their business, legal or otherwise.

My Approach

For me, the practice of law is all about balance — having confidence in your own abilities, while recognizing the benefits of an experienced and diverse team with the resources to help clients accomplish their goals. While teaching Pilates may not seem like a natural complement to the practice of law, I’ve found that this experience has helped provide me with a unique framework to approaching client and business relationships with patience and creativity in order to get the deal done. Transactions are rarely smooth from beginning to end – keeping a level head and discerning what really matters to my clients and their end goals are where I’m able to shine.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our beloved Sheepadoodle, Ziggy Marley. We try to travel as often as we can and love catching a good outdoor concert or festival.
