COLUMBIA, C, April 18, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Lori S. Murray, Esq., has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Ms. Murray, an accomplished attorney, has dedicated more than 25 years to the legal profession, specializing in personal injury and criminal defense. Since 2002, she has been the driving force behind the Law Offices of Lori S. Murray LLC, where she handles claims ranging from automobile accidents, workers' compensation, medical malpractice, slip and fall as well as state and federal criminal cases from arraignment to trial. Her expertise in these areas has earned her a reputation as a formidable advocate.

Prior to establishing her own firm, Ms. Murray served as of counsel at The Rutherford Law Firm from 2003 to 2007. During this time, she honed her skills in legal strategy and client representation. Her career began in insurance defense from 1998 to 2000. She then joined the Richland County Solicitor's Office, where she worked as an assistant solicitor from 2000 to 2002 after serving as a law clerk for the Honorable C. Victor Pyle, Jr. for a year after graduating from law school.

Ms. Murray's educational background laid a strong foundation for her successful career. She earned a Juris Doctor from the University of South Carolina School of Law (now the University of South Carolina's Joseph F. Rice School of Law) in 1996 after completing a Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor in criminal justice at the University of South Carolina in 1993. She attributes much of her success to her direct and clear approach, along with the influence of her father's outspoken nature, which she humorously attributes to his New York roots. She also emphasizes the importance of transparency, never aiming to manipulate the data.

Further contributing to her success, Ms. Murray has established a strong social media presence. She has gathered a significant audience on TikTok of 625,000 followers since starting her account in 2019. Initially, she aimed to entertain and share moments with her children, but her content gained notable attention during the high-profile Murdaugh case, where she effectively showcased her legal insights.

Throughout her career, Ms. Murray has been recognized for her achievements and contributions to the legal field. She was named one of the Top 100 Trial Lawyers by the National Trial Lawyer and has received the Elite Attorney award for personal injury and criminal law every year since 2020. Additionally, she received an Honorable Mention for Best in Columbia and holds a distinguished alumni award from Williamsburg Academy.

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Ms. Murray is actively involved in several industry-related organizations, including the South Carolina Bar Association, the South Carolina Association for Justice, the Richland County Bar Association and the South Carolina Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys. She was first inspired to become a lawyer by her deep-seated desire to advocate for others and accomplish justice.

In her personal life, Ms. Murray enjoys playing tennis and reading. She is also proud of her two children who are pursuing careers in law; her daughter is studying at Lewis and Clark Law School, while her son is enrolled at her alma mater, the Joseph F. Rice School of Law, and will commence his studies there in the fall after graduating from Wofford College. Looking ahead, Ms. Murray aspires to continue her practice and collaborate with her son as he embarks on his legal career.
