I passed the Colorado Bar Examination and was admitted to practice in Colorado in October of 1993 and was also admitted to practice in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado in 1993. In 1998 I was admitted to practice before the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.

In approximately 1999 I began representing homeowners pursuing claims related to construction defects. My firrm, Murray & Damschen, P.C., was formed in March of 2002 to focus on representing home owners and homeowner associations (HOAs) regarding all kinds of construction defect matters including, but not limited to, damages from expansive soils, structural defects and damages, drainage defects, builder's failure to follow engineering recommendations or industry standards, water infiltration, mold, and defective building envelope systems.

I have represented the interests of many individuals and businesses in contract disputes, collection matters and other litigation. I have also represents both landlords and tenants in various disputes.. In addition to my civil litigation practice with Murray & Damschen, P.C., I also accept cases as a Mediator. In January of 2007 I completed 40 hours of Continuing Legal Education training in the theory and practice of mediation. Since that time I have gained experience providing mediation service through various local volunteer agencies. While I mediate all levels of disputes, I offer services at a significantly lower fee schedule in smaller cases in order to encourage parties to mediate cases that may not otherwise be mediated.. I am a Christian and attend Mt. Tabor Baptist Church in Byers, Colorado.
