Awards, Verdicts, and Settlements Obtained by
Murrin Law Firm

Settlement: $150,000

A client sought counseling from a church elder due to marital difficulties. The elder used his position of authority to engage in a sexual relationship with the client. The church did not properly supervise the elder. In fact, they claimed no supervisory capacity over him. The matter was settled out of court against the church.

Settlement: $1,000,000

A group of 3 individuals were harassed at a fast-food restaurant by a security guard. The three individuals received over $1,000,000 through settlement payments and judgments for being refused service and other discriminatory acts by the security guard.

Settlement: $875,000

A client owned commercial property and made it his business location for many years. The city determined that they wanted the property, along with others on the same block for redevelopment. They initially offered our client $450,000 for the property. However, our client refused the offer and was subsequently told that he could probably receive around $525,000. After retaining the services of our firm, we were able to negotiate an even better settlement with the city.

Settlement: $50,000

A settlement was received on behalf of our client against one of the nation’s most prominent truck rental companies. She rented a vehicle that had been reported stolen. The rented vehicle had not been cleared from the Police Department’s “hot list” prior to being used. Our client was subsequently stopped by the police, facing harassment and humiliation due to the negligence of the rental company.

Settlement: $80,000

A woman complained to her employer that the company was discriminating against minority employees. After making this complaint, she became the victim of workplace harassment. Her matter was settled out of court.

Award: $75,000

A woman was facing harassment from her boss. Her employer claimed that the rude insults were merely constructive criticisms. The matter went to verdict where, with the help of Murrin Law Firm, the client was awarded compensation from a jury.
