Michael Byrne
Lawyer
Michael Byrne is a litigator at Mike Murphy Law Group. He grew up in Halifax. He was called to both bars in 2023. He acts for individuals, not for insurers.
About Michael Byrne
Michael’s files are insurance litigation on the individual’s side: motor vehicle accidents, property loss, and disability or critical illness claims the insurer has denied.
Education and Bar Admissions
Michael took a Bachelor of Commerce at Mount Allison University and then his law degree at Dalhousie University’s Schulich School of Law. He was admitted to the Nova Scotia and New Brunswick bars in the same year, 2023.
He ski raced at a national level and played football to the collegiate level. Between his two degrees he spent six years coaching alpine ski racing professionally at an international level.
Outside the Office
Michael still coaches provincial-level ski racing and consults for Ski Nova Scotia. Otherwise he is mountain biking, kitesurfing, skiing, with family, or outside with his black lab.
