Video Transcript

What sets us apart from other firms? We’re blessed to have an extraordinary group of people who are competent and hardworking and care very much about serving our clients. It’s something that I’m very proud of to be associated with the the good people that we have working here.

Our paralegals, our administrative staff, they’re all very good and very committed to the process. When I say the firm is more than 15 years old, but it took many years in the making, it’s because I have practiced for more than 34 years. Eric Purchase and Craig practiced even longer. And so when we come together, we bring lots of experience.

We bring together the same mission, the same objective, and that’s to help people, and we work to make things right for them. I think what’s unique about Purchase George and Murphey is, although we are in a relatively small town of Erie, we have done very sophisticated, complex personal injury work for many, many years.

Given the size of our community, we really have a lot of experience in sophisticated and complex personal injury cases. I think when you combine the experience of all of our members, it’s more than 150 years of doing personal injury work. One of the things that I think is sometimes missed in the representation of clients is making sure that they feel heard and understood.

If we take on an obligation to a client, we must know, and the client must be comfortable trusting that they are as important to us as any other case that we have. It’s really been an extraordinary journey for all of us.
