Excellent legal counsel
I am grateful that our community has excellent lawyers like Mr. Murphy who selflessly listened to the plight of community members like me and offered effective counsel. I am profoundly grateful for his service. Highly recommend him!
"Although we were opposing counsel on a specific matter, Justin demonstrated true professionalism and knowledge in the area of Landlord/Tenant Law. I endorse this lawyer."
"I've had the pleasure of spending countless hours in Housing Court working side by side with Justin as volunteers at the Lawyer For The Day table, and I've also spent quite a bit of time picking his brain and discussing both the practice and business of law. He is my go-to referral for employment matters, and someone I endorse without reservation."
"I endorse Atty. Murphy, because he is one of the hardest working attorneys that I know. I had the pleasure of working with Atty. Murphy on some matters, and I found working with him to be a pleasure. He is polite, caring, and overall just a great person."
"Attorney Murphy and I worked together at VLP. He is a dedicated lawyer with a commitment to both the law and his clients. I have sought his advice for my clients based on his experience in discrimination cases. I have referred clients to Attorney Murphy for help with their employment issues and would happily do so again."
