I recommend the J Murphy Firm.

Mr . Murphy really helped us when we needed it.We were in a tough spot financially and bankruptcy was not a option. We're back on our feet and moving forward. Thank you Joe.

Great Job

Attorney Murphy did an excellent job which resulted in a positive outcome in our credit case. Best of all, he kept us in the loop and well informed of what was transpiring in our case. He and his staff were very professional and he also counseled us as to what to expect after our case was finalized. ...We will definitely seek his advice if any future credit challenges arise.

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.

new client

I was a little skeptical at first when I received a letter in the mail from the J Murphy Law Firm stating that they can provide relief from creditors. It was then I read the reviews ( nothing but good) and decided to call and speak to him directly. At the time, I was being harassed by a lender ...who was, if you wan to call it ," financially raping me" . Mr Murphy and his team came through for me.. I am now able to sleep at night. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone and i would without a doubt use them again if neede !!

Lifesaver.

If debt collectors are hounding you, do yourself a favor and call Mr. Murphy. He helped me out of a financial jam and I would highly recommend him to anyone experiencing problems with debt collectors.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
