Dwi case

I am an upstanding citizen and I’ve never broken the law with the exception of a parking or speeding violating as a teen. In February of 2017, I decided to drive home after having a few drinks with the guys. A deer ran in front of my car and caused me to have to swerve off the road. My car was comple...tely totaled and I caused property damage to someone’s home. I’m lucky to be alive. I was arrested at the scene and charged with a DWI. My wife and I called several lawyers who wanted thousands and thousands of dollars to take my case. Although they had proven track records, we couldn't imagine spending $10,000 or more for a lawyer. After several google searches we found Keith Murphy. When I called him he was so pleasant on the phone and never questioned my actions or reasoning with my case. He asked me about my career and life aspirations and after sharing this with him, he actively worked with the DA’s office to get my case resolved. Several people told me this case would go on for months and that I would still be charged with a DWI. Keith ensured me he wasn’t settling for a DWI and that this wouldn’t take more than 6 months. By May of 2017 (3 months later), Keith had my case resolved and the charges dropped to a DWAI which is a ticket/violation and wouldn’t be on my record. He aided me in maintaining my good reputation and dignity as a citizen. I am truly grateful to him.

Keith Murphy made a difficult situation better

When I realized I needed a lawyer for a DWI case, I did not know where to start. Keith's website got my attention because it was straightforward and factual. After speaking with him in person, I knew I had found an attorney with the knowledge of the law, judgement on how to proceed and compassion t...o help make a tough situation bearable. What Keith said would happen did happen. There were no surprises. He knows the law and represents his clients with respect. His demeanor in court assured that my case was managed with the utmost civility. If a friend or family member needed the services of an attorney, I would direct them to Keith Murphy.

Experienced attorney

Mr. Murphy walked me through a very stressful DWI case against me. Was punctual, respectful, and responsible. Helped me understand what was happening and what was to follow. Overall helped me get the sentence reduced and I get to carry on with a somewhat normal life.

Keith R. Murphy is an excellent attorney

Last December, I was arrested in Putnam County, NY. I made a mistake and drove a motor vehicle when I should not have done so. I was ready to accept whatever the law had in store for me. I was in the wrong but I decided having an attorney guide me through the process would be to my benefit. I fo...und Keith through a google search the next day. He answered my first call and he calmly assured me that I would get through my ordeal. He laid out a plan and assured me that if I did what he suggested that I would emerge in the best position possible given the circumstances. He answered all my questions and concerns by responding promptly to emails and phone calls. He personally showed up at my arraignment and trial. He was a total professional who seemed to know everyone in the court. He arranged a plea deal where I received the best possible outcome. Keith R. Murphy is an excellent attorney.
