Background
Muriel routinely represents companies and high-net-worth individuals in “bet the company” commercial disputes, securities enforcement, and government investigation matters. She has handled actions in state and federal courts, administrative proceedings, and arbitrations, and conducts internal investigations and defends clients in enforcement matters. Muriel also has experience defending clients in criminal cases in federal and state court and litigating commercial lease disputes.
Prior to co-founding KOR Law, Muriel spent nearly a decade at two “Top 10” AmLaw 100 firms in their litigation and securities enforcement practice groups. That experience, combined with her decision to build something different, is what shapes how she approaches every matter at KOR Law.
Muriel maintains a robust pro bono practice. She has represented sexual assault survivors as a civilian victim advocate in the military’s Court Martial process; immigrants displaced and incarcerated at the U.S. border in the asylum-seeking process; low-income parents in child custody proceedings and Child Protective Services investigations; indigent defendants in federal criminal matters relating to RICO, Hobbs Act Robbery, drug trafficking, and capital murder charges, and in state court related to shoplifting, assault, and burglary charges; incarcerated individuals in lawsuits seeking adequate medical care; and a wrongfully convicted man who spent almost three decades in prison for crimes he did not commit, successfully obtaining a pardon.
