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. Attending Notre Dame Law School was a transformative experience, leading me back to Chicago to work in insurance defense before finally returning to South Bend. 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. If you’re facing difficulties due to an injury or other losses, we invite you to reach out. Join our family at Foley & Murphy, and let’s work together towards your recovery.
