Upon his release he drove to the nearest fast food restaurant to gorge on a calorific treat.
The 60-year-old physician ordered two Double-Double burgers, consisting of two meat patties and two slices of cheese per burger, at an In-N-Out restaurant chain for his first meal outside of jail, according to TMZ.
Wass told reporters outside the prison that her client was anxious to "hug his family" and he was planning to get his medical licences reinstated in California, Texas and Nevada so he can resume his medical career.
She said: "He wants to take some time and see his family. Believe me; after you've been locked up in this place for two years, it's a shock emotionally and physically."
There has been speculation that Murray, who had financial problems even before he was hired to look after Jackson, could make money by telling his side of the story, in a book or other form.
Murray was sentenced to four years in jail in November 2011 for giving Jackson the anesthetic propofol to help him sleep as he rehearsed in Los Angeles for a series of comeback concerts in London.
Earlier this month a jury rejected a lawsuit brought by Jackson's family who claimed that tour promoter AEG Live negligently hired Murray, a cardiologist, to take care of the star.
In an interview from prison after that civil trial ended, Murray was asked what he planned to do after his release, which was brought forward due to good behavior and prison overcrowding.
"I will restart my life and, God willing, I will be a model to show the world that despite adversity, and when bad things happen to good people, they can restart their life and succeed," he told the Today show.
