For Murray & Regan Law, community isn’t just a concept—it’s a philosophy that guides every aspect of their work. With deep roots in the Lincolnway area, the firm aims to be more than a legal resource; it strives to strengthen the neighborhoods, schools, and businesses that define the region. “Community is more than just the people you see around or the local businesses; it is a feeling and a shared sense of purpose,” says Dan Regan of Murray & Regan Law.
This commitment is reflected in the firm’s daily operations. While Murray & Regan has offices nationwide, including Cleveland and Seattle, Regan emphasizes that the firm remains locally focused. “We try to be involved at the local level in each location we open an office, not just being present but also making a difference,” he explains. In Frankfort and across the Lincolnway area, that difference is tangible. The firm works with schools, nonprofits, and local organizations to provide guidance, resources, and support to residents and businesses alike, often tailoring programs to meet unique community needs.
The firm’s engagement goes beyond legal services. Team members actively participate in initiatives like Feed My Starving Children, local co-op programs for homeschooled youth, and community outreach events, always looking for ways to provide a hand up rather than just a handout. “We strive to be present in all that we do and to give back in ways that are not always law-related,” Dan notes.
Murray & Regan also sponsors local events and programs, from community art projects to resource fairs, and explores mentorship and internship opportunities through the Lincoln-Way school district. “We are very locally focused and therefore are always open to new ways in which we can give back and impact those around us,” Regan says. By combining sponsorships, volunteering, and active participation in community initiatives, the firm reinforces its ties to the region and cultivates lasting relationships with residents.
Being deeply rooted in Lincolnway gives Murray & Regan a unique perspective when serving clients. Long-standing relationships, local knowledge, and a firsthand understanding of the community’s needs help the firm offer personalized legal solutions that larger, more distant firms might miss. “Locally rooted allows us to know the individuals and businesses within our community, as well as the issues that are unique to the Lincolnway area,” Dan explains.
For residents, choosing a local firm has meaning beyond convenience. “When individuals and local businesses choose local over larger firms, it reinforces the community feel and allows us to be more present in the way we interact,” he says. Balancing professional expertise with approachability, Murray & Regan has earned the trust of its neighbors while demonstrating that law, when practiced with a sense of civic responsibility, can be a powerful tool for strengthening a community, creating a firm that truly feels like part of the Lincolnway family.
Murray & Regan Law believes that giving back is a responsibility, not an afterthought. The firm’s support extends beyond legal counsel, emphasizing the importance of contributing to the community in meaningful ways. Over the years, they’ve helped local charities and nonprofits navigate complex legal structures, ensuring these organizations can thrive and expand their impact. One recent example involved assisting a charity in converting from a for-profit to a nonprofit organization, allowing them to provide greater benefits to high school students and participants while enabling donors to receive tax write-offs.
Dan sees these efforts as part of a larger mission to strengthen Lincolnway as a whole. “We work to support local no matter where the office is located,” he says. Sponsorships, volunteerism, and mentorship opportunities are all ways the firm invests in people and programs that make a difference. From community art projects to educational initiatives, Murray & Regan consistently looks for opportunities to connect with residents outside the courtroom.
The firm also prioritizes partnerships that foster knowledge and opportunity. By engaging with schools, local chambers of commerce, and community organizations, they provide resources and guidance while reinforcing a culture of support and collaboration. Programs like these help bridge gaps, strengthen community networks, and ensure residents and businesses alike have the tools they need to succeed.
For Dan, community involvement isn’t just good citizenship—it’s part of the firm’s identity. “We love being in the Lincolnway community and cannot think of a better avenue for our firm to grow and be present in all that we do,” he says. Looking ahead, Murray & Regan plans to deepen these connections, expand sponsorships, and continue to explore new ways to make a positive impact.
Ultimately, the firm demonstrates that legal expertise and civic responsibility can go hand in hand. By combining professional excellence with genuine community investment, Murray & Regan Law ensures that both their clients and their neighbors thrive, reinforcing the values that make Lincolnway a strong, connected, and supportive place to live.
At its core, Murray & Regan Law demonstrates that a firm’s influence extends far beyond legal expertise. Their commitment to the Lincolnway community is evident not only in the cases they handle but also in the relationships they cultivate, the programs they support, and the opportunities they create for residents, students, and local organizations. From sponsoring events and assisting nonprofits to exploring mentorship programs and volunteering for community initiatives, the firm consistently finds ways to give back and invest in the people around them.
For Dan Regan and the Murray & Regan team, being locally rooted is both a philosophy and a promise. “When we give back, sponsor programs, or simply show up for events, we’re investing in people and building connections that strengthen our entire community,” he says. By combining professional expertise with genuine civic engagement, Murray & Regan continues to reinforce the bonds that make Lincolnway a connected, supportive, and thriving place to live, work, and grow—proving that a law firm can be both a trusted legal resource and a dedicated community partner.
