Practice Areas
Sean and Kevin founded Herrmann & Murphy to provide high-quality, experienced, and aggressive legal representation to employees in North Carolina and South Carolina. Whether you are facing wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, or retaliation or need advice about what to do when you discover illegal activity at work, Herrmann & Murphy has the experience to guide you through trying times.
Herrmann & Murphy prides itself on its courtroom experience. Kevin and Sean have won trial victories for clients in federal jury trials, state court trials, and arbitration. The firm treats every case as if it’s going to trial even though the vast majority of employment cases are resolved long before the parties pick a jury. This approach ensures our clients the best possible results. Having your case ready for trial early shows the other side that you have no reason to settle for less than your case is worth and ensures that you are ready to prove your claims in the event the defendant refuses to pay fair compensation for your harms and losses. Both Sean and Kevin actively work together for each and every one of the firm’s clients to ensure that we are never outworked or outnumbered.
