Morgan Alger - East Greenwich, RI

Morgan Alger is an associate attorney at Marin & Murphy Law Firm, a Rhode Island criminal defense practice with offices in East Greenwich, Cranston, Providence, South Kingstown, and Cumberland. She is admitted to the Rhode Island Bar (Bar #10896, 2024) and focuses her practice on defending individuals charged with DUI offenses, misdemeanors, traffic violations, drug charges, domestic violence allegations, expungements, and criminal record sealing throughout Rhode Island.

Attorney Alger brings a background that few early-career defense attorneys can match. Before joining Marin & Murphy, she served as a staff attorney with Rhode Island Legal Services (2024–2025), where she represented low-income Rhode Islanders in court proceedings and developed the kind of hands-on courtroom skills that come only from handling a high volume of real cases with real consequences. That experience gave her something clients notice immediately: she listens carefully, explains the process clearly, and treats every case — whether it's a first-offense speeding ticket or a serious misdemeanor — with the same level of preparation and attention.

During law school, Attorney Alger completed two Rule 9 legal internships with the Rhode Island Attorney General's Office, working directly with the Special Victims Unit and the Narcotics and Violent Crime Unit. She saw firsthand how the prosecution builds its cases, what evidence they prioritize, and how they prepare for court — experience she now uses to identify weaknesses in the State's case against her clients. She also served as an ABA Legal Education Police Practices Consortium Fellow at Roger Williams University School of Law (2022–2024), studying law enforcement procedures, police accountability, and constitutional policing standards. This specialized training gives her a detailed understanding of police protocols that directly informs her defense work in DUI stops, traffic encounters, and drug investigations.

Attorney Alger earned her Juris Doctor from Roger Williams University School of Law, where she was an active member of the Criminal Law Society and competed in Moot Court. She also holds a Master of Science in Criminal Justice from Roger Williams University and a Bachelor of Science from the University of Rhode Island. Her combined graduate-level training in both criminal justice policy and criminal law gives her a deeper analytical framework than most attorneys bring to misdemeanor and traffic defense.

At Marin & Murphy Law Firm, Attorney Alger handles misdemeanor cases, traffic violations, and expungement petitions independently, while working collaboratively with firm partners Stefanie A. Murphy and Matthew T. Marin on felony matters and complex criminal proceedings. Clients benefit from her dedicated, one-on-one attention backed by the resources of a firm that has defended over 2,500 DUI cases, secured murder acquittals, and set Rhode Island Supreme Court precedent. When you work with Attorney Alger, you're not just hiring one attorney — you're getting a team with decades of combined trial experience reviewing your case.

Attorney Alger is a member of the Rhode Island Bar Association. She is committed to accessible, ethical, and thorough representation for every client navigating Rhode Island's criminal justice system — and she understands that for most people, an arrest or a traffic charge is one of the most stressful experiences of their lives. Her goal is to make sure you understand your options, feel heard throughout the process, and receive the strongest possible defense at every stage of your case.
