Biography

GAETANO “GUY” MURPHY is a Jupiter, Florida native who joined Searcy Denney in 2021. He focuses on representing victims and their families in medical negligence, motor vehicle accident, wrongful death, sexual assault and battery, and premises and product liability cases.

Previously, Mr. Murphy worked with the West Palm Beach plaintiff’s law firm of Babbitt and Johnson, P.A., where he helped hundreds of clients seek justice in medical malpractice, vehicle accident and other personal injury cases. A number of cases he has worked on have resulted in recoveries in excess of $1 million and have been noted in national and local media.

Mr. Murphy invests in each client a personal commitment to listening and exploring every detail of a case. With motor vehicle accidents, for example, he often takes his own detailed photos of the crashed vehicles’ structural components, a skill he attributes to tearing down and restoring cars and motorcycles during his college years.

After receiving his J.D. degree from Nova Southeastern University Shepard Broad Law School, Mr. Murphy was admitted to The Florida Bar in 2016. He earned his undergraduate degree in criminal justice from Florida Atlantic University, where he minored in business, business law and real estate finance.

Mr. Murphy is a member of the Florida Bar Association, the Florida Justice Association, and the Palm Beach County Bar Association.
