E. Michelle Bohreer

Labor Law

1601 Westheimer Rd, Suite A, Houston, TX 77006

As a trial lawyer, I routinely see what can go wrong with a client?s business, and for this reason I am uniquely positioned to help clients prevent business and employment disputes by anticipating them and by being proactive. As a certified public accountant who at one time practiced public accounting for a Big Eight accounting firm, I also understand the practical and financial aspects of disputes. In my practice, I assist clients with hiring and termination matters, developing and implementing appropriate employment policies and procedures, and responding to EEOC charges and Department of Labor or Texas Workforce Commission wage audits. I also offer training programs designed to assist my clients in meeting the ongoing challenges associated with federal and state employment laws, which continue to present a moving target. I frequently provide advice to client entities who are in the process of restructuring their business, and I have conducted due diligence investigations in connection with a nationwide roll-up of staffing companies, as well as strategic mergers and initial public offerings of staff leasing and PEO companies.

The Court also granted plaintiffs all rights to their videos and issued an injunction that the defendants are prohibited from distributing the likenesses, images or videos of the plaintiffs. Midway through the trial, three individuals involved in the GirlsDoPorn operation were indicted by a federal grand jury for sex trafficking and other charges. All three individuals are in custody. As a result of this matter, Ed’s former firm received the National Law Journal’s 2021 award for best Human Rights Firm in the United States.

Distinguished Lawyer

Personal Injury Law

1002 E Jefferson Blvd, South Bend, IN 46617, USA

South Bend has been my home for the majority of my life, starting from my high school years at St. Joseph High School to my accounting and law degrees from the University of Notre Dame. My career began in accounting, working for Touche Ross in Chicago, but the pull towards law was irresistible.

In 1995, my partner at the time, Doug Small (retired in 2023) and I established Foley & Small, now called Foley & Murphy. This was driven by a shared desire to advocate for those harmed by negligence. With years of experience working with insurance companies, I’ve gained a unique perspective that significantly benefits our clients who’ve suffered due to others’ carelessness. Our mission extends beyond seeking financial reparation; at Foley & Murphy, we aim to provide a caring, familial environment to our clients, supporting them through loss and recovery.

Elan B. Rafael

Elan B. Rafael

Distinguished Lawyer

Personal Injury Law

3604 Eastern Ave suite 100, Baltimore, MD 21224, USA

Since 2003, I have worked for thousands of clients against insurance companies who don't want to properly compensate injured people after being hurt in a car accident, or those from slip and falls, dog bites and other things that often leave people in dire situations, and I've protected my clients from over-reaching authorities, police and prosecutors, who seemingly want to put everyone in jail. Whether seeking money or a "not guilty" verdict, everyone deserves the best possible representation. Aside from me having this mindset, in practice it is critical, because I have seen first-hand, over and over, that insurance companies don't care about injured people, and legal authorities often overstretch and abuse their power. I get up every day to make things right. My legal career began working for the Office of the Public Defender, and I was trained by some amazing trial attorneys. As a public defender, I successfully represented thousands of people in all types of criminal cases from DUI to First Degree Murder. Soon after my work with the Public Defender's office, I was hired by a large firm and "thrown into" personal injury work. I got hooked. What insurers do to people is disgusting, and I relished every victory, from helping with a car repair to getting a settlement or verdict often multiples of the insurer's "top and final" lousy pre-trial settlement offer. If you have been injured, or if you are faced with a drinking and driving charge, I will provide aggressive representation. I know what it means to have an insurer demean you, belittle you and treat you as if you were the wrongdoer. I also know that in a criminal or alcohol-related situation, if you are convicted, you could go to jail, have to pay large fines, you could lose your driver's license and maybe then even lose your job. Each of my clients receives personalized, caring and responsive service. I provide cost-effective, experienced and aggressive representation from initial consultation to final resolution of your case.
