Brian Murray is an attorney who
recently joined Parnall Law Firm. He was born and raised on Long Island, New
York, as the youngest of three siblings. Throughout his childhood, he enjoyed
camping with his family and actively participated in various sports, including
hockey, football, and lacrosse. During his time at Boston College in
Massachusetts, Brian played Rugby and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in
Political Science and Philosophy in 1999.
Following his undergraduate studies,
Brian returned to Long Island and pursued a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree at
Hofstra University Law School, which he obtained in 2002. He passed the New
York State Bar later that same year. Brian's legal career began with a firm
specializing in Insurance Defense Litigation, where he gained valuable
experience in trying cases. He then transitioned to working as in-house counsel
for insurance carriers such as Geico, Progressive, and Plymouth Rock Assurance,
as well as a trial firm representing various other carriers. Throughout his career,
Brian developed a reputation as a successful trial attorney, which opened up
management opportunities for him.
Outside of his legal career, Brian
joined his hometown volunteer Fire Department while in college and remained an
active member. He found great joy in giving back to his community and helping
others. This commitment to serving others has carried over into his
professional career.
In 2005, Brian married his wife
Rebecca, and they have lived on Long Island their entire lives. However, during
the pandemic, they decided to embark on a new adventure, which brought them to
Albuquerque, New Mexico. Brian sees joining Parnall Law Firm as the perfect
opportunity to shift his focus back to helping people in his community and
fighting for justice for injured victims.
Family is of utmost importance to
Brian, and he cherishes his relationship with his wife and their three
children, Jack, Aubrie, and Sawyer. They are currently adjusting to their new
life in New Mexico and appreciate the diversity and opportunities the state has
to offer compared to Long Island.
During their leisure time, the
Murray family enjoys visiting Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Despite the
long road trip, they embrace the adventure, although traveling with their kids,
two dogs, and a cat can be challenging at times.
