Michael G. Murray, Esq. is a Miami native, and a cum laude graduate of the University of Florida. He earned his Masters Degree from Emerson College in Boston, Massachusetts, and his J.D. from St.Thomas School of Law in Miami, Florida. While in law school, Mr. Murray received the Book Award in Criminal Procedure, Trial Advocacy, Interviewing, Counseling, and Negotiating, and the Immigration Law Clinic, where his thesis pertained to criminal waivers for aliens convicted of violent crimes.

Mr. Murray has extensive experience in immigration law, representing clients seeking Family-based visas, Fiancé(e) visas, Waivers of inadmissibility, Asylum, Naturalization, Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS), U-Visas, and VAWA self-petitions.

Prior to establishing his immigration law practice, Mr. Murray served for two years as a criminal defense attorney at the Miami-Dade Public Defender’s Office, serving as counsel of record in more than 80 trials representing juveniles and adults charged with misdemeanors and felonies. That background gives Mr. Murray insight into how a criminal record can affect immigration status, insight he draws on when advising clients on waivers and other filings involving a criminal history.

Mr. Murray’s immigration law practice is headquartered in Austin, Texas. He is admitted to practice in all Florida and Texas state courts, as well as the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, the Florida Supreme Court, and the Texas Supreme Court.
