David L. Murphy

It is with great honor and pleasure that I submit this recommendation for David L. Murphy. Dave successfully represented me in a very complicated medical malpractice case several years ago. Many local attorneys are aware of this famous, “C-diff Case”. He “inherited” the case after several other at...torneys politely bowed out. It is my opinion that as they got deeper into the case and started to analyze the complexity and heavy time commitment that would be required to take it to trial and win, it scared them off. As I later found out, not all attorneys are capable of taking medical malpractice cases to trial, let alone win them and any subsequent appeals. Dave is capable of all the above. Not only did Dave win the case, he then represented me at the first level appeal, and won against a large, NYC law firm that specializes in medical malpractice appeals. He beat them so badly that they decided not to request a second appeal at the highest level state appeals court in Albany. Dave won the trial and appeal in an honest and ethical manner. There were no deceptions or smoke screens, just the facts. When Dave is in court, he is extremely well prepared and hyper focused on the trial. I was so impressed how he outperformed a larger law firm representing a client with deep pockets. He is tenacious and in total control. He was impenetrable to the tricks they threw at him. He has a way of getting all the information he needs out of the witnesses without most of them realizing what he’s doing. Many of them stepped down from the witness stand dumbfounded. I was in awe of his trial skills! Dave is not only an ethical and technically astute attorney, he is a very down-to-earth, caring and compassionate human being. He was very sensitive to everything I suffered both physically and mentally and treated me with the utmost dignity and respect. Also, the financial judgment was so much more than I would have accepted if a decent settlement had been offered, which it wasn’t. In my opinion, Dave is the first attorney you should call to discuss your potential medical malpractice or personal injury case. He will personally speak with you and give you an honest assessment of your case.
