About Slovak Baron Empey Murphy & Pinkney LLP

Slovak Baron Empey Murphy & Pinkney LLP was founded in 1994. The founding members had been partners in the largest law firm in the Inland Empire, each with over fifteen years of experience and a proven track record of substantial success. They formed their own firm to concentrate exclusively on providing clients with superior legal representation and first-class service at competitive pricing. The firm has continued that success and built a strong reputation in both complex litigation and transactional matters.

The foundation of the firm is hard work, creative and aggressive advocacy, and an unwavering focus on the needs of the client. Our goal in every matter is to achieve the best possible result in a cost-efficient manner. We have found that, in the litigation context, the best results are often achieved when the opposition knows that we are prepared to try a case. Our partners have successfully tried over 100 cases to judgment or verdict, as well as having participated in hundreds of arbitrations and alternative dispute resolution proceedings. More often than not, this expertise leads to favorable settlements without the necessity of trial.

The firm has negotiated and closed over 500 complex business and real estate transactions totaling over a billion dollars throughout the United States. The firm's unique transactional portfolio includes public and private companies, in addition to local, state and federal governments and regulatory agencies.

In advising and representing our clients, we emphasize understanding their business so we can help identify solutions that make business as well as legal sense for the company or individual. Many of our attorneys have grown up or spent most of their lives in the Coachella Valley. Their long-term community involvement gives the firm unique access to the area's business, political and community leaders.

Hired Attorney Carolyn Martino

Working with Carolyn proved to be a far better experience than I ever would have imagined. My issues were very complex which required some very skillful maneuvering. Carolyn's approach to addressing those issues could not have been better as I could not have asked for a better outcome. Capable and thorough only begins to describe what Carolyn Martino is all about.

I retained Valerie Powers Smith to represent my interest in a trust litigation matter. It was a difficult time w/difficult parties and I would not have gotten through it without her counsel. She really got every nuance of the case and all the characters; and, completely understood my position and what I wanted. She guided me through each step, explaining the process and all my options. She supported me, listened to me and genuinely cared. Ms. Powers is a truly exceptional attorney and advocate.

Hired Attorney Shaun Murphy

We wanted a new attorney but we did not have time to switch . He lost our case file full of info that we gave him, several days before our trial. we had to rush to compile it all again for him. He refused to ask for our attorney’s fees even though we told him to and that it was in our best interest. We did not feel he was easy to communicate with. often our emails or questions were not answered . We asked him to go back and make a counter offer and he never did. He showed up in court without a jacket on. we did not feel like we were a priority. We felt more like we were a bother. He did not end our case. He never stood up against the other side with a reply when they made threats to come after us again! We found him to be very passive .
