About Mr. Brophy

A native of the Chicago area, Michael Brophy has been a resident of the State of Texas since 1979 (“I got here as fast as I could!”). Mr. Brophy graduated from North Texas State University in 1981, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism “with honors.” After a two-year stint as Assistant News Editor at the Corpus Christi Caller-Times, Mr. Brophy attended the University of Houston Law Center. In 1985, he embarked upon a legal career that included associations with the oldest and largest law firm in South Texas, a mid-sized law firm in Dallas, and the Houston office of a New York litigation boutique. He founded The Brophy Law Firm in 1996, with a focus upon insurance and commercial litigation.

The Brophy Law Firm has enjoyed an “AV” practice rating since its inception. Houston-area litigation attorney Michael Brophy has been listed in the Bar Register of Pre-Eminent Lawyers since 2004, and also holds a prestigious listing with Best’s Directory of Recommended Insurance Attorneys and Adjusters. He has handled cases in State and Federal Courts throughout the State of Texas, from El Paso, to San Antonio, to the Rio Grande Valley, Corpus Christi, Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, and many areas of East Texas.

In his spare time, Mr. Brophy enjoys spending time with his 12-year-old Son, traveling, playing competitive sports, and SCUBA diving. He has twice participated in Texas’ “MS 150" bike race, riding his bicycle more than 150 miles – from Houston to Austin – to raise money for the fight against Multiple Sclerosis.

Mr. Brophy is also a proud sponsor of his Houston suburb’s USA Fit affiliate, Fort Bend Fit (a marathon-training organization for runners of all ages).
