Excellent choice!

I had hired this firm to represent me in a credit card case filed against me by Midland Funding LLC. They were all very respectful and professional. They took the reins and took care of any and all interactions with the court and their lawyers, which absolutely helped me through an experience I had n...ever been in before. They kept in contact with me and left me know about every step that was taken and ultimately landed the case in my favor! I couldn’t thank them enough, and would hire them again in a heartbeat!

Excellent and Fast

I hired J Murphy Firm to defend against credit card suit. Wow, are they on point! They got the ball moving as soon as retained and filed answers and notice of entry before I realized what was going on! Also, the staff is knowledgeable and gives you answers, not just the regular "attorney will call yo...u back". I will leave another review once the case has been heard, but from Amanda and the staff, straight through...100% professional and courtesy.

great experience

I have used joseph murphy twice and both times i have won my case.everyone i spoke to at his office went out of their way to be helpful I had never been sued before so was terrified of what was happening they not only calmed my fears but explained the whole process to me .I would highly recommend thi...s office what wonderful caring people they are .

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.

Excellent Review

I thought the services I received from Joseph P. Murphy were excellent. I had a court hearing that they helped me with every step of the way. I was kept informed what was going to happen, the results that I should expect to get out of my case. I thought his office was great. I would recommended them ...to anyone who finds themselves overwhelmed on what the next step should be, they guided me right through it.

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.
