About Friedman Murray

Friedman Murray is a solo law firm in Minneapolis, Minnesota operated by attorney Todd Murray. I help people facing financial difficulties get back on stable ground and I hold bad actors within the financial ecosystem accountable when they break the law.

I don’t represent banks, debt collectors, credit reporting agencies, or other large corporations. I only represent ordinary people who need help fixing financial problems and standing up to unfair treatment. As a one-person shop, you will get my personal attention and solutions tailored to your individual situation.

Meet Todd Murray — Attorney and Owner

Since 2009, I’ve helped people take back control from debt collectors, credit bureaus, credit card companies, banks, repo agents, and car dealers. My clients describe me as “a man of integrity,” “a clear communicator,” and “very professional.” I take pride in being a trusted advocate for the little guy and gal who’ve been treated unfairly by powerful financial institutions.

Whether you’ve just been sued to collect a debt, are facing a garnishment, or are trying to fix a credit report that’s wrecking your finances, I’ve probably helped someone through your exact situation.

My Areas of Focus

I handle these types of cases:

• Bankruptcy

• Debt lawsuit and garnishment defense

• Debt collector harassment / FDCPA

• Credit reporting errors / FCRA

• Unauthorized bank withdrawals / EFTA

• Predatory Lending (including app-based payday loans)

• Wrongful repossession

• Debt settlement scams

• Odometer rollbacks

I don’t handle any cases involving mortgage lending, servicing, or foreclosure and I typically don’t take cases involving business debts. And as of Fall 2026, I am limiting my auto sales fraud cases to those involving odometer rollbacks or financing abuses.

Results & Recognition

My track record reflects not only success in individual cases but also recognition from Minnesota courts and media.

• Wiped out millions of dollars in debt and given hundreds of clients a fresh financial start

• Won a case at the Minnesota Supreme Court, establishing new protections for used car buyers

• Recovered millions of dollars for clients harmed by credit bureaus, debt collectors, lenders, and auto dealers

• Handled cases featured by the Star Tribune, MPR News, and Kare 11

More About Me

I grew up in Superior, Wisconsin and now live in Minneapolis with my wife and children. I’m licensed in Minnesota state and federal courts, as well as federal court in Western Wisconsin. I began my career working for large financial corporations, but in 2009 I started my own firm to work with ordinary people of modest means who are facing economic stress. I’m inspired every day by my clients’ resilience and positive attitudes in the face of financial struggles and it’s an honor to stand up for them against powerful financial institutions.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, reading, following sports, lifting weights, canoeing and camping, biking, and spending time with my wife, children, and dogs.

David Friedman — Founder and Of Counsel

David Friedman founded Friedman Murray in 2009. David helped hundreds of people get a fresh financial start through bankruptcy, wiping out millions of dollars of debt in the process. David is especially proud of his Chapter 13 cases that saved people’s homes in the early 2010s following the mortgage crisis of 2008.

In 2026, David founded a new firm, the Law Office of David Friedman, in New York. Although David no longer manages Friedman Murray, he does co-counsel with Todd Murray on consumer rights cases and consults on Friedman Murray’s bankruptcy matters.
