Biography

Ted Murphy began practicing Immigration Law in 1994. During his early years as a sole practitioner, he represented individuals in detained and juvenile immigration matters. In 1997, he entered federal service, where he spent more than a decade with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the former Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). His background includes work on complex immigration cases and regular speaking engagements addressing developments in immigration law.

In 2008, Mr. Murphy founded Murphy Law Firm PC, focusing exclusively on Immigration Law. Based in West Chester, Pennsylvania, he represents clients in matters before the Immigration Court, the Board of Immigration Appeals, and the U.S. Circuit Courts, and he is admitted to practice before the U.S. Supreme Court. Murphy Law Firm PC assists individuals and families with immigration matters involving removal proceedings as well as applications and petitions filed with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
