Posted by Joe | November 13, 2018 | Wrongful Termination

Age Discrimination

I am very impressed by the professionalism and competence that I found at Murphy Law Group. I had been terminated by my employer and was quite confused on what course of action, if any, was appropriate. Ben Salvina took the time to evaluate my situation, discuss the appropriate laws, and gave me opti...ons as well as his firm's analysis of what the expected outcomes could be. Ben was patient with my numerous questions, empathetic of my stressful situation, and allowed me to express in detail my "unique" situation. I am 100% happy I chose to work with Murphy Law Group as i feel I explored all options fully.

Murphy Law Group, LLc is who you want in your corner

It can be difficult to admit that you need help with a situation and even more difficult to know who to turn to for assistance in your time of need. I am so grateful to have found the Murphy Law Group, LLC. After contacting the Murphy Law Group, LLC, I finally felt as though my voice had not only b...een heard but supported. I was not just one of several cases thrown into the pool - Mike Murphy spoke with me personally on several occasions. They communicated everything throughout the process and more importantly showed incredible consideration and respect to me during a highly sensitive situation. Murphy Law Group, LLC is not only the team you need - they are the team you are going to want in your corner.

Excellent Law Firm

Two years ago I was let terminated for having cancer from my employer working in the medical field of all places. Not only was Michael professional and dedicated, he was caring and compassionate to me as human being.

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.
