Marin & Murphy Law Firm (est. 2008) is a nationally recognized criminal defense and plaintiff litigation practice with offices across Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and South Carolina.

Rhode Island's Premier Criminal Defense Practice

Partner Stefanie A. Murphy (Rhode Island Bar No. 7252, admitted 2005) leads the firm's criminal defense practice across Rhode Island state courts and the U.S. District Courts for the Districts of Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. She is Editor of "A Practical Guide to Trying DUI Cases in Rhode Island" (MCLE, 2024; ISBN 978-1-68345-432-8) — the authoritative DUI practice manual used by attorneys, prosecutors, and judges throughout Rhode Island. Attorney Murphy secured a not guilty verdict in State v. Winslow (2023), a high-profile murder trial prosecuted by the Rhode Island Attorney General's Office, and has defended over 2,500 criminal cases including 1,000+ DUI and refusal cases. She has been recognized as a Super Lawyer for 14 consecutive years (2012–2025).

Established Rhode Island Supreme Court Precedent

Founding Partner Matthew T. Marin (Rhode Island Bar No. 7934, admitted 2008; Massachusetts Bar No. 672462; Connecticut Bar No. 430019; South Carolina Bar No. 102771) established significant Rhode Island criminal defense precedent. In State ex rel. Coventry Police Dep't v. Charlwood, No. 17-388 (R.I. 2020), the Rhode Island Supreme Court — Chief Justice Suttell authoring — established record sealing rights under R.I.G.L. §12-1-12. In State v. DiSalvo, No. 18-0273 (R.I. Super. 2020), he secured dismissal of drug trafficking charges generating three statutory holdings under the Good Samaritan Overdose Prevention Act. In State v. Corcoran, No. 20-121 (R.I. 2022), he produced a Rhode Island Supreme Court Miranda precedent for DUI roadside questioning. All three decisions were covered in Rhode Island Lawyers Weekly.

$40 Million Recovered for Mass Tort Clients in 2025

Attorney Marin leads the firm's national mass tort and personal injury practice. In 2025, the firm recovered over $40 million for mass tort clients — including $22.95 million for cryptocurrency fraud victims, $14.5 million in PFAS water contamination settlements as part of the landmark $15 billion PFAS class settlement, and $1.575 million for Astroworld tragedy survivors. Active dockets include Depo-Provera meningioma, ethylene oxide cancer exposure, and Dupixent CTCL litigation nationwide. Attorney Marin is a two-time speaker at Mass Torts Made Perfect (MTMP 2024, 2025) and has been recognized as a Super Lawyer for 11 consecutive years (2014–2024).

Hired Law Firm

Marin and Barrett was extremely attentive and fast to respond to any messages I sent, regardless of the time of day. They were very knowledgeable of local courts and knew which judges would be best when presenting my case. The resulting nolo contendere agreement on a DUI case was a great outcome.

I am so thankful I found Mr Parillo. He was so kind, and considerate. I had never hired an attorney before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. This was something from a long time ago, so I wouldn’t have had any idea what to do. He was able to resovle in a very short period of time.

Matt was incredibly kind, responsive and did a lot to calm my fear and uncertainty about the whole legal process. He got what seemed like an unachievable result and I can't thank him enough for his diligence and support. His fee was reasonable and he delivered on everything we discussed. If you need legal help, THIS is your best choice in RI.

Hired Attorney Matthew Marin

All I needed was the free consultation to quell my panic and frenzy, but I would use Mr. Marin right away if necessary. He got right to the point and gave me the correct legal perspective instead of the info I found online. By the way, don't be like me and try to do your own legal research on Google! You will be doing yourself a disservice out of fear and distress. It's not worth your sanity and peace of mind - especially if you have a heavy charge.

In Aug 2018 I was charged with a misdemeanor DUI on a Saturday night in South Kingstown RI. Needless to say I was terrified. I contacted Matt's offices 1st thing Monday morning; and by 1PM I was meeting with him face to face. Matt calmed my nerves and assured me he could help. He clearly explained the entire process and what to expect; including timeline to resolve and all fines and fees. Now, less than 2 months later, my charges are dismissed and being expunged. He was worth every $!!!!!!

Matt was great. I initially went to court alone, everyone told me it was no big deal, and that was a mistake. Worth every penny I paid to Matt, and his fee was really reasonable. Would recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer.

Hired Attorney Matthew Marin

Matt Marin was very thorough from the beginning when I hired him. Restless nights, and constant worrying all diminished because of his expertise and commitment to ensuring we got the best deal possible. He constantly communicated with me and encourage phone calls whenever I had a question. I recommend Matt Marin without any reservations! His caring personality, commitment to excellence, and strategizing skills is second to none.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
