As it currently exists, this isn't an article about a person of any prominence or notability, this is a puffery about a local attorney who remains a proud, active member of his collegiate fraternity.

The grammar and writing style need substantive editing, especially passages such as:

"Later that year on the ice cold days of December the Law Offices of Douthit, Murray & Pierre, P.A. was created."

and

"Some of Murray's marquee cases include the "Gentleman" Bandit, who was a thief who would burglarize your house, but would also grant you certain wishes like permission to use the bathroom, etc."

This might be worthy of non-notable deletion, but at the least, it needs clean-up and POV work.

[edit] This Page is Bogus Self-Promotion Probably Written by the Subject Himself

Looks like much of the info is copied off of his resume. Should probably be deleted entirely. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.219.30.165 (talk) 02:23, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
