Top notch lawyer

I've never been in trouble my entire life until it happened. Keith was prompt in returning all my calls, and fought hard to get my charges changed to a violation. I've worked with lots of lawyers in my life and Keith was the best

I needed my CDL back!

Let me start by saying that calling Keith Murphy is by far the best decision I have ever made! He was able to get the charges dropped much further than I was expecting and the judge was even in shock when he read off the deal. I have a CDL and need it for work so losing it was a big loss for me. Keit...h told me he’d keep fighting it until he was able to get me the deal I needed in order to get my license back and that’s exactly what he did. Could not have asked for a better lawyer. Please, if you’re in a similar situation give Keith a call!

Excellent lawyer

I had multiple charges with one of the worst being aggravated DWI. Keith was able to have all my charges dropped and i walked away with just a violation at the end. He is very patient, great communication skills and always professional. He literally saved my life and career. I would recommend him... to anyone.

Excellent Lawyer

After being pulled over and charged with a DWI I was at a loss. Never having had any legal troubles my whole life (not even traffic tickets), this incident had flipped my whole world upside down. After meeting with 3 lawyers I just didn't feel comfortable with the way the consultations went nor how t...hey were going to defend me. Then I came across Mr. Murphy's information on the internet and reached out for a consultation. Working full-time, having time meet during the day was very difficult. Keith volunteered to stay late at his office, on a Friday, to ensure I would be able to come and meet him after work. We went over every single detail that night, from the time I woke up to the moment I was released from custody. He also took the time to go through every possible scenario and all the options that I had moving forward. After the consultation I hired Keith immediately, without question. Not only were his legal fees lower than others I had met with, his sincerity towards the case showed that he wasn’t just about the money but was truly passionate about his profession. I couldn’t have made a better choice. At all court appearances Keith was early to court, extremely knowledgeable and very well prepared and as a result we were able to get the verdict that we were seeking in a timely manner, without issue. Throughout the entire process Keith was available to speak with and updated me quickly with any and all information that he had obtained. I cannot thank Mr. Murphy enough for all that he did for me. His compassion, understanding and knowledge of the courts is exceptional and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of legal counsel. Thank you again Keith.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
