Thorough, responsive, and kind

During a stressful and uncertain time, the last thing you want is to not have full confidence in your attorney. Todd was recommended to me by another lawyer I trust, and was the most knowledgeable and personable of the three attorneys I consulted about my case. Todd really spends time getting to k...now your situation, and doesn’t make you feel like you’re just one of a revolving door of cases he deals with. He was incredibly fast to respond my initial inquiry (on a weekend!), which was incredibly reassuring. My case is also not completely straightforward, but his expertise is exactly what I need to handle all the “quirks” of my bankruptcy petition. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with Todd, and would recommend him to anyone who needs similar counsel.

Year and a Half Finished

With the end of the year (2015) here, I've been reviewing my financial situation as I get a jump on my taxes. Everything Todd said would happen, has. I tear up multitudes of credit offers. I have money saved. Every bill is paid on time. Everything is just great. I still have vivid memories of the pr...ocess and how Todd, with his most excellent staff, guided me through it. I know people just do this, and move on, but I could never have arrived at this point in life without Todd Murphy's help, and felt a follow-up review was in order. Thank you Todd.- RJ Bruno

"The threat of losing your property through foreclosure can be frightening and emotional. You need a trustworthy attorney to help you through it. Todd Murphy is the "go to" attorney in this field. I have known Todd for some time now, and I can say this is the attorney you want working with you through this trying experience.

"Todd is extremely knowledgable in the area of bankruptcy. He assisted me with a bankruptcy matter. He provided me both the worse case scenario and the best case scenario which eased my mind considering I do not handle chapter 11. He was with me every step of the way. He communicates with his clients and gives timely updates to your case which is very important to me. He treats his clients with respect. I highly recommend Todd without any reservation!"

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"The first thing you will notice when you meet Todd Murphy is just how nice and down to earth he is. He is very easy to talk to and this is a quality that can't be taught in law school! Equally important is his thorough knowledge of the bankruptcy and foreclosure laws. He knows the law inside and out and uses these skills to obtain the best possible outcomes for his clients. I would recommend Mr. Murphy to anyone who has problems with debt: whether its a bankruptcy, help with foreclosure, or just needing some overall guidance in the face of financial troubles."
