Highly Recommended Attorney
I recently retained Pat to handle an auto accident case and have been nothing but pleased. Pat has been extremely informative, has been more than patient with the numerous questions and concerns that I’ve had, and has always included me in every decision he has made regarding the case. He is easily accessible and genuine about striving for the best end result for his clients. I have had nothing but a pleasant experience working with Pat and would highly recommend his services to anyone!

Compassionate Attorney for Nursing Home Abuse Case
Patrick handled a nursing home abuse case for our family. He was consistently respectful, sensitive , caring and efficient throughout this entire process. Anytime I phoned or emailed with a question, it was never more than 12hours before he got back to me. Usually he responded within one hour. I'm sure ours was not Patrick's largest or most important case, but he made us feel that it was. I always felt confident that Patrick was doing whatever was in our family's best interest. We don't quite have everything wrapped up yet, but he has assured us that the resolution will be soon.

Slip and Fall
Patrick is the type of attorney that goes over and beyond. He makes sure to look out for your best interest even if it means it will not benefit him. He not only helped me but my mom too!! Request him,you will definitely be thankful!!

Personal, Professional, Trustworthy
Having never sought legal advice before, there were a number of uncertainties I had about the process. However, Patrick was not only precise with his legal counsel, but also careful and thorough in his approach communicating to me the steps needed to swiftly resolve my case. The personal care that he demonstrated was equally as impressive as the outcome he delivered. I will certainly continue seeking all future legal guidance through Patrick based upon this initial result.

No-brainer
I typically try to stay away from lawyers at any cost. I have run companies as a sole-proprietor and as a partner, and I always minimized my dealings with attorneys due to their cost and fear of them generating demand through fear. Patrick Murray dispelled my fears and frankly was worth every penny and a whole lot more. I'll call him again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic Lawyer
Pat has handled a few matters for our company and with each one, he has exceeded my expectations. He is a strong litigator with a practical side that understands the cost benefit analysis most companies go through. I would recommend him to handle any matter.
