Experienced litigator and education attorney Laura B. Bermudez has joined Murphy, Lamere & Murphy, P.C., where her practice will primarily focus on general and special education law, student services, student discipline, Title IX, and school policy.
Laura is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and from Northeastern University School of Law. After law school, Laura began her career as a criminal defense attorney, litigating cases throughout the Commonwealth at the Massachusetts Appeals Court Single Justice, Superior Court, and District Court, as well as the Massachusetts Parole Board.
