Mike Murray is another of our three Appellate Attorneys. Our appellate group works to assist courts in correctly applying the law to the facts and preventing errors in the litigation of our cases. Our appellate group’s work is writing-intensive: they review pleadings, write motions and responses to motions, and prepare jury charges. They help our litigators to craft trial strategies. And in the event that an error does occur during a trial, our Appellate Attorneys seek to correct those errors by persuading appellate courts to overturn a ruling because the law requires it, or to urge reassessment of the law where its application leads to unfair or inequitable results. Along with having supported the litigation of hundreds of cases in courts in 20 states, Mike has been counsel in nearly 100 appellate proceedings. He has participated in appeals to the Supreme Court of the United States, the Fifth and Tenth Circuits, the Supreme Court of Texas and most Texas appellate courts, as well as the Supreme Courts of Kentucky and New Mexico. Mike is a devoted husband to his incredible wife Cindy and father to their two amazing daughters. He is the Chairman of the Board of Directors at the Sunshine Cottage School for Deaf Children and has been at the forefront of dealing with Legislative issues related to the education of deaf children who use hearing technology in Texas. He has served on the Vestry of Grace Episcopal Church for many years. And he is a passionate volleyball dad. Attorneys like Mike are the cornerstones of Guerra LLP. His vast knowledge and skills impact every case he works on and we are blessed beyond measure to have him on our team.
