highly recommened

Joe is awsome! Joe and his team of attorneys helped me out with several junk debt collectors. These guys are the real deal. If you recieved a letter from Joe like I did the first time, I was a liitle skeptical, but they guaranteed there results. I tried them out on a lawsuit and they where able to ...get a judgement in my favor. The creditor appealed and Joe got that in my favor too. I was thoroughly impressed. I used Joe three more times in lawsuits and he got a judgement in my favor on two and we settled with the creditor on the third for pennies on the dollar when they kept appealing the judgements in my favor. I used him again in an arbitration hearing and he got a judgement for me on that one too. I have refered him to friends and family all with positive results. The fees they charge are very reasonable compared to the results. Give him a call, I highly recommend Joe. -- Brian from Pennsylvania

Predatory debt collector KOed

The J. Murphy Firm help me with a case where a third party debt collection agency had filed for a judgment against me for a debt that was several years old. The original debt was for about $500 dollars. The collection agency was suing for $3700, claiming interest and "fees". Mr. Murphy's fee to ha...ve this suit dropped was less than the original debt. Very reasonable.

Extremely satisfied

Attorney Joseph Murphy clearly detailed his procedure in representing my wife in a civil court dispute over a credit card account that was being represented by a collection agencies lawyer. After a detailed response to the collection agencies lawyer's attempt to hold my wife accountable for the amoun...t charged on the said account, the collection agency lawyer withdrew the complaint. Attorney Murphy provided us with the complete rebuttal to the said complaint. We are very satisfied with this unfortunate experience and would definitely call on Attorney Murphy again, if faced with this dilemma again.

A job well done.

Mr. Murphy is very personable and informative. I believe that Mr. Murphy really enjoys his work. He successfully represented me in a lawsuit dealing with a collection agency. Job well done. I am a most satisfied client. thank you very much.

Got the Job Done

I had an outstanding debt after a divorce. Legally, this collection firm didn't have the proof that they owned the debt and I knew they couldn't collect. They decided to take me to court. I received a letter from Joseph Murphy, Esq. soliciting his services for a reasonable fee. After reading all the ...reviews online I called. I was kept informed via mail with copies of the court documents and the firm entering an appearance. The day after the hearing I called to find out what the outcome was. The Judge ruled in my favor. I checked the online Court docket and yes, I had won my case. I knew my rights and had all the paperwork to prove my case but I don't think I could have gone into a courtroom and presented it properly. I would recommend The J. Murphy Firm.

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.
