Best possible outcome
Patrick helped to get me the best outcome possible in my time of need. It was clear that his good reputation preceeded him in court and that seemed to have helped my outcome. If you have anything you are thinking about calling him on don't hesitate. This is a lawyer you can trust to handle your case professionally.

Patrick was so helpful with a consultation with me for a criminal case on behalf of a close friend. He was able to answer my questions about the possible case and was very prompt in contacting me after I had reached out. I would recommend this lawyer for anyone. He was down to earth and supportive of my questions about this case.

Criminal defense
He went beyond to show I'm innocent. He made sure I did what I had to do in order to show that I was not what they thought I am. He was available immediately or next to it . He cared.

Excellent Attorney
Attorney Patrick J. Murphy was very quick to respond to my needs with Clerk Magistrate Hearing and I had a 1st-class experience during my hearing – got the case dismissed! I was impressed by the due diligence and other researched performed by him before my hearing. I only had to answer one question during my hearing, rest all were answered by Attorney Patrick. He is confident, knowledgeable, and most importantly honest. He is NOT like other lawyers, who are only in it for the money. He cares about the client and passionately performs excellent due diligence pertaining to the case. I am very glad that he represented me, and I highly recommend him as Criminal Defense Lawyer. Furthermore, his fee was very reasonable when compared to that of other Criminal Defense lawyers in the city.

Very trustworthy lawyer, puts worries at ease
There's a reason he's one of the best defense lawyers in town. He was successful at negotiating a very favorable outcome with the prosecution, getting my charges reduced and eventually dismissed! If you're facing a serious charge and want the best case scenario in court, this is the lawyer to call! I can finally sleep in peace!!

Professional, Attentive, and Personable
Chosing Patrick Murphy to be my attorney was the best decision I could have made for my future. I contacted Attorney Murphy in a dire time in me and my spouses life. The matter was to be addressed in criminal court the next morning. He was honest and straightforward with options and possible outcomes. He was very perceptive to the situation and noticed things about our matter that I easily could have dismissed. Throughout the year of working with him it was obvious that the outcome of this case was just as important to him as it was to my spouse and I. He genuinely wanted to help us, we were always made to feel as though we were the priority and in the best possible hands we could be in all while maintaining his personable and down to earth demeanor. For matters out of the scope of his specialty, our civil and immigration, he had no issue sharing his knowledge. He went above and beyond what anyone could expect from a great lawyer

Trustworthy, confident, professional - you need Mr. Murphy should you ever find yourself in a tough spot in your life. He helps!
Mr. Murphy is the consummate attorney you can trust to handle your case with professionalism along with a caring, genuine approach to your defense. He consistently responds in a timely manner via text, phone or email - whatever method his clients prefer. Mr. Murphy listens carefully, takes meticulous notes and asks appropriate questions to gather a thorough understanding of your case and therefore the best defense approach to take. I would not hesitate to refer Mr. Murphy to anyone in need of his services. Myself and my wife now consider him a friend and wish him the best throughout his illustrious career.

Excellent Service!
I was accused of leaving the scene of property damage in Attleboro District Court. Attoreny Murphy was able to get the case thrown out early in the process saving me time and money. I definately recommend him for your criminal case.

Amazing lawyer with great attention to details.
The short story, Mr Murhy made a criminal charge go away, which is amazing by definition. The long story. I was a concerned father of a 20+ year old daughter (criminally) charged with leaving the scene of a traffic accident. After finding the Patrick Murphy profile online I decided to leave a message and was surprised by the quick response. Patrick Murphy without asking for an immediate compensation offered valuable advice, explaining the next required steps to be done. Due to a tight deadline those critical steps would be overlooked if not for Mr. Murphy's attention to details. Thanks to his help during Magistrate Clerk hearing the charge was removed even before being allowed to continue in the court of law. Please forgive me if I use wrong terminology. I'd recommend Patrick Murphy to anybody and sincerely appreciate his help as a human being as well as a highly regarded professional.
