Excellent Experience
I retained James Murtha for a complicated eviction and I was losing sleep over it. But it wasn’t complicated for him. He put my mind at ease and walked me through the process. I knew I was in good hands from the first consultation. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Great impression
I was impressed and pleasantly surprised when Mr. Murtha answered the phone himself. Such of breath of fresh air getting a quick response. The consultation was truly complimentary. No aggressive sales pitch. It was simply factual information that addressed my eviction concerns. As far as pricing, it ...

don't do it
My brother and I hired this man for my mother who has dementia. He would only talk with her even though we paid him. We told him she wasn't a reliable source of information but he would not listen. He did ultimately get the tenant out but it took much longer than proposed and I don't feel he did anyt...
I pride myself on my professionalism, and I take my obligations to my clients very seriously. That is why this review is so troubling to me. That, and because I have never had a client relationship of the type described in the review. To be certain, I checked the files of every client I have represented. I found that no one has ever retained me to represent their mother. This is not surprising, since attorneys generally are not retained in that manner. Nor have I ever represented a client whom I knew to suffer from dementia. Either the person who posted this anonymous review has mistaken me for another attorney, or the review is intentionally false. In either case, there is nothing more I can add, since the review is not legitimate. But I remain grateful to my loyal client base, whose kind and generous reviews remind me of why I chose the law as my profession: to help people resolve issues they cannot resolve themselves. For me, that is the reward of practicing law. Thanks again to all those who allow me the privilege of helping them.

Frustrated Client
Do not be tempted to hire Mr. Murtha for your legal needs. I found him to be extremely careless, often taking shortcuts which were convenient for him to resolve my matter while disadvantageous for me, the client. Although I tolerated this treatment, often being dismissed by him, I was still not able ...
This comment appears to have been posted to the wrong attorney profile. The person who posted it most likely intended it for another attorney -- perhaps one with a similar name. We have never represented the person who posted this review. Avvo has been asked to investigate the matter so that hopefully the review can be re-posted to the correct attorney profile. As our vast base of satisfied clients can attest, we treat all our clients with the utmost respect and professionalism and pride ourselves on obtaining for our clients the legal results they seek. On behalf of myself and the MURTHA LAW FIRM, LLC, we wish all of our clients a very Happy and Healthy Holiday Season.

I am glad I found James Murtha
James is very skillful and experienced and he really knows his stuff. He answered all of my questions and was always there when I had an issue and he was always polite even when I know I was being a pest. He put my mind at ease and the eviction of my tenant went very smooth and fast. He is the best a...
"I endorse James D. Murtha. He is the most knowledgeable landlord-tenant and consumer rights attorney I have ever met or had the opportunity to work with. His skills and expertise in both the fields of landlord-tenant law, particularly as it applies to evictions, and debt-collection defense are unmatched in my opinion. James D. Murtha has my highest recommendation as an expert in landlord-tenant matters and in debt-collection defense."
