About Our Firm

We Know How Insurance Companies Work. We Used to Work for Them.

Hamilton Murphy Law was founded on a simple idea: Oklahoma families deserve the same caliber of legal firepower that billion-dollar insurance companies use against them. With 40 years of combined experience — including years spent on the insurance defense side — we know the playbook, and we know how to beat it.

Why Hamilton Murphy Law Exists

We help people deal with insurance companies. That's the short version. The longer version is that we've spent our careers watching insurance companies shortchange the people who rely on them — people who've been in car wrecks, who are struggling with roof or home flooding claims, who have health care claims. You name it, we've seen an insurer try to avoid paying for it.

What makes Hamilton Murphy Law different is that we've seen this problem from both sides. Larry Murphy spent years representing insurance companies before deciding he would rather spend his life and energy fighting them. That experience taught him how insurers think, how they build their defenses, and where their strategies fall apart. Now he uses that knowledge for the people who need it most.

Laura Hamilton built her career on discipline and determination — values instilled by growing up in a military family — and has been instrumental in securing tens of millions of dollars for clients since she began practicing in 2009. She gives her clients a voice when they feel like they don't have one, and she shows up for every client, every time.

Together, we are experienced litigators who handle cases all over Oklahoma. We believe in a client-first approach and want you to feel informed and empowered to make the right decisions for you — not pressured into something that benefits someone else.

Insurance companies have teams of adjusters, investigators, specialists, and lawyers. They have billions of dollars in assets and every incentive to pay you as little as possible. The only place where the playing field is level between you and a billion-dollar corporation is in the courtroom — and that's where we do our best work.

Founding Attorney

I grew up in Connecticut but moved to Tulsa in 1994 to attend the University of Tulsa College of Law. I met my wife in law school and we decided to raise our family here.

I spent many years representing insurance companies before I decided I would rather spend my life and energy fighting insurance companies rather than helping them. That experience taught me a lot about how they work and the best ways to beat them at their own game.

I have been involved in the successful resolution of several major class-action and bad-faith cases. Like Laura, I am dedicated to getting the best outcome for my clients and making sure they feel empowered to make the best choices for themselves.

Our Approach to Every Case

These aren't just talking points. They're the commitments we make to every client who walks through our door.

Client First

We want you to feel informed and empowered at every step. We explain your options honestly, give you our best assessment, and let you make the decisions that are right for you — not us.

Direct Access

When you call our office, you talk to your attorney. Not a receptionist. Not a paralegal routing your message. We keep our caseload manageable so we can give every client personal attention.

No Fee Unless We Win

We handle cases on contingency. You pay nothing upfront, nothing out of pocket, and no attorney fees unless we recover money for you. We take on the financial risk so you don't have to.

We Know Their Playbook

Larry spent years defending insurance companies. We know the tactics, the internal processes, and the pressure points. That insider knowledge is now your advantage.

We Litigate

We don't just send demand letters and hope for the best. We prepare every case as if it's going to trial — because insurance companies negotiate differently when they know you're ready to go.

Oklahoma Through & Through

We're based in Tulsa and handle cases statewide. We know Oklahoma law, Oklahoma courts, and the local insurance landscape. This is our home and these are our neighbors.

Practice Areas

We handle many types of litigation across Oklahoma. If you're not sure whether we can help, call us — if we can't take your case, we'll try to help you find someone who can.

Insurance Bad Faith

When insurance companies deny, delay, or underpay valid claims, we hold them accountable under Oklahoma law. We handle bad faith cases involving homeowners, auto, health, life, disability, and commercial policies.
