As the firm enters its 18th year in practice, award-winning trial attorneys Matthew Marin & Stefanie Murphy will serve as co-managing partners
Marin & Murphy Law Firm, formerly Marin, Barrett, and Murphy, a premier Rhode Island–based law practice known for its aggressive criminal defense advocacy and complex personal injury litigation, today announced a transition in leadership and continued operation under a new firm name. The change reflects an evolution in leadership while reaffirming the firm’s unwavering commitment to protecting clients’ rights, securing justice, and holding powerful entities accountable across Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and South Carolina.
Founding Partner Matthew T. Marinand Co-Managing Partner Stefanie A. Murphy will continue to lead the firm, bringing nearly 40 years of combined high-stakes trial experience. Streamlining its partnership structure allows the firm to sharpen its focus on client relationships, courtroom performance, and exceptional case results—spotlighting the Marin–Murphy collaboration that has driven major wins, including multiple criminal not‐guilty jury verdicts and more than $15 million recovered for clients in 2025 alone.
“After an extraordinary year, we are investing in the next chapter of our practice and reaffirming our core identity as trial lawyers,” said Founding Partner Matthew Marin. “Stefanie and I have always shared one vision: to stand with the accused when the stakes are highest and to ensure no one faces the justice system alone. That mission remains unchanged. At the same time, we continue to deliver life-changing results for the seriously injured in personal injury and mass tort matters. Under the Marin & Murphy name, we are more focused, more aggressive, and more committed than ever to winning for our clients.”
