Murphy Battista LLP is a litigation law firm with a long-standing reputation for taking on difficult cases for people who have been injured, sexually or physically abused, or financially harmed. While a favourable settlement is often the result, our careful preparation and willingness to go to trial is how excellent results are obtained.

We are one of B.C.’s oldest and most respected law firms, having acted only for plaintiff’s for over 40 years. This includes extensive experience advocating for those injured as a result of inadequate medical, dental, or other forms of health care.

Our firm also has a robust class action team with experience successfully challenging governments and corporations to secure justice for class members.

Our work is characterized by attention to detail and meticulous preparation in every case. Our trial success is well-documented and sets us apart. We’ve always been litigation-focused, and we will not hesitate to take cases to trial if that is the best way to meet our clients’ needs.

The contact lawyer for our Vernon office is Bill Dick, K.C.. Bill is a long time resident of the Okanagan and an exceptional lawyer. Recognized by Best Lawyers Canada™ (since 2013) and appointed King’s Counsel in 2018, Bill has over 25 years of experience representing plaintiffs in serious, complex personal injury claims, including medical malpractice and insurance disputes both at trial and on appeal. He also has expertise handling complex commercial litigation, construction law disputes, and representing plaintiffs in class action lawsuits.

We enjoy additional support from the lawyers in the Kelowna office including founding-partner Joe Murphy, K.C., Keri Grenier, and Matt Van Nostrand, as well as our colleagues in Vancouver.

We focus on doing excellent, caring work for our clients and their families with the goal of helping them get their lives back. We are honoured to enjoy a high rate of referrals from people who are sufficiently impressed with our work to suggest that other people hire us.

We offer the expertise that we have accumulated through our highly successful Vancouver practice to clients throughout the Okanagan.

After taking care of the immediate legal requirements to protect and preserve our clients’ rights, our first concern is to support our clients through the litigation process. Once we are satisfied our clients have the access to the care and resources they need, we turn our full attention to the liability and compensation issues that need to be resolved so that our clients (and their families) can get their lives back on track.

Murphy Battista LLP has handled some of the toughest cases decided in BC in terms of establishing an injured person’s right to compensation. We have also handled three of the largest personal injury and insurance awards in BC history with other cases in the top ten.
