"There are a lot of law firms in Rhode Island\. You hear them on the radio, see them on billboards, and watch them on television—all promising to help you and claiming to be the best\.

But until you actually go through the experience, you never really know what level of service and representation you’re going to receive\.

Marin & Murphy Law has been there for me through some of the best and most difficult times\. From the beginning, I never doubted that I had the best representation available, at any price\.

That confidence in my attorneys gave me confidence in myself\. Over the course of my case, I appeared in court more than 50 times\. Having the support and reassurance of Marin & Murphy helped me walk into every proceeding with dignity, confidence, and peace of mind\.

And in the end, **all charges were dropped\.**

What stood out to me just as much as their courtroom representation was the support I received outside of the courtroom\. They were always available, always responsive, and always willing to answer my questions with thoughtful, intelligent answers\.

When you’re going through something as serious and stressful as a criminal case, you need more than an attorney\. You need someone you can trust completely\.

I trusted Marin & Murphy Law, and I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone who needs exceptional legal representation\."

Most people assume a jury only gets two options: guilty or not guilty.

That's not how it works.

In the Lindsay Clancy trial, the jury could potentially come back with manslaughter—but only if the judge concludes the evidence supports that theory and gives the instruction. Both sides are still arguing over what the jury will be told before deliberations begin.

Attorney Stefanie Murphy explains why jury instructions may matter more than any single piece of testimony.

The guideline range is where federal sentencing starts. In Connecticut, it's rarely where it ends. ⚖️

New analysis of U.S. Sentencing Commission data from the District of Connecticut:

♦️ Only 21.9% of sentences fall within the guideline range — compared to 46.5% nationally.
♦️ In white-collar cases, that drops to 8.8%, against a 42.4% national rate.
♦️ Roughly 3 of 4 Connecticut sentences land below the range.
♦️ 26–28% of white-collar defendants receive cooperation departures — nearly double the ~14% national figure.

The practical takeaway: a guideline calculation is the opening argument, not the outcome. Mitigation developed early, a clear-eyed cooperation analysis, and a fully built § 3553(a) variance record are what move the number — not the worksheet.

Attorney Stefanie A. Murphy breaks down what these trends mean for federal white-collar defense, with law student co-author Morgan Green.

🎙️ MATTHEW MARIN ON THE JOHN DEPETRO SHOW

Our own Matthew Marin sat down with John Depetro to address the biggest misunderstanding about the Lindsey Clancy trial. Here’s the essential distinction: This trial is NOT about whether she committed the acts. This is about criminal responsibility — specifically whether her mental illness (postpartum psychosis) caused her to not be in control of her actions.

That’s the legal question. That’s what matters. Full link dropping soon. 🎙️

Tony Romo's Arrest Is a Real-World Example of Something We Tell Every Client!

The bodycam footage from Tony Romo's arrest this week is getting a lot of attention — and it's a useful, real example of two different decisions people face during a DUI stop.

Romo declined the preliminary breath test, telling the deputy, "I've heard from multiple lawyers, don't ever do that." He did not decline the field sobriety tests, and according to the sheriff's report, he "performed poorly."

Attorney Stefanie Murphy has handled DUI cases in Rhode Island for over 20 years, and this is exactly the distinction she walks clients through:

Field sobriety tests are divided-attention exercises — balancing, walking a straight line, following instructions — performed on unfamiliar ground, under stress, while an officer watches and asks questions. Fatigue, footwear, old injuries, and nerves can all affect performance, regardless of impairment. In Rhode Island, these tests are voluntary, and there's no automatic penalty for declining them.

A chemical breath test is different — refusing that one does carry consequences, which is its own decision with its own stakes.

Knowing the difference matters. It's exactly the kind of thing worth understanding before you're standing on the side of the road, not after.
