When you’re facing criminal charges in Tyler, TX, every decision matters. At Murphy & Baker Law Firm, our criminal defense attorneys have spent decades on both sides of the courtroom as prosecutors, as a county judge, and now as the attorneys fighting for you. That experience isn’t just a credential. It’s the reason we know exactly how the other side thinks.
We handle every case personally, from first call to final outcome. No handoffs. No junior associates. The attorneys you meet are the attorneys working your case.
