Judge Purdy earned her law degree from the Thurgood Marshall School of Law at Texas Southern University in Houston, Texas where she was a member of Law Review and began her legal career at the Houston office of the national law firm of Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP. Building a practice focused on civil litigation and bankruptcy matters, she relocated to the firm’s Dallas office and was later promoted to partner. In this role, she assisted with various municipalities and other public agencies in the recovery of property taxes and related revenue, and successfully represented these governmental clients, which also included Dallas County, in a number of cases heard in jurisdictions across the United States.
In 2004, to accommodate the needs of her growing family, Judge Purdy opened and built a private law practice in Dallas, primarily serving as regional counsel for Fortune 500 clients in litigation and collection disputes before state and federal courts. In 2010, she was appointed as Associate Judge for the City of Dallas, a position that allowed her to maintain a private practice while performing significant duties in the enforcement of the city’s laws and ordinances. Based on this experience, and backed with her passion for legal issues from both sides of the bench, she pursued and was appointed as Associate Judge of the State Civil District Courts. This position was selected by a merit panel in February 2013, consisting of the presiding thirteen elected State Civil Court Judges of the District Courts. Since her appointment and election to the bench, she has consistently received amongst the highest ratings, being ranked as one of the “top two” civil judges in the yearly judicial evaluation poll, evaluating judicial performance, conducted by the Dallas Bar Association of lawyers appearing before her court.
A native of Tampa, Florida, Judge Purdy earned her undergraduate degree from Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia, a highly selective, liberal arts college widely recognized as a global leader in the education of women of African descent. A consistent advocate for education, she helped to develop the Legal Studies Department curriculum for Paul Quinn College in Dallas, Texas where she taught as an adjunct professor. She also has served the community as President of the J.L. Turner Legal Association; Regional Director for the National Bar Association and conducted countless community voter engagement seminars.
