Posted by anonymous | October 29, 2024 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

Trustworthy Lawyer

I highly recommend Michael Murphy to anyone going through any type of issues with their employer that would require legal representation. Michael was patient in listening to my situation after I had been terminated and asked all the right questions to build a case for me. He approached it from a diff...erent angle I wouldn't have thought of and he pushed hard to make sure I got compensated. Him and his entire team were communicative and transparent throughout the entire process, and always available for any questions I had. Michael was able to give me relief at a time that was financially stressful and will forever be thankful for the help he provided.

National Sales Director

9 minutes ago NEW I wanted to take the time to write this review on behalf of Mike Murphy and his law firm. Upon being terminated from my employer I reached out to 4 or 5 attorneys to represent me, only 2 of which responded. While doing so I completed a form on Mike Murphy's website not expecting m...uch. After being shut down by the 2 other attorney's I received a call from Murphy Law Group. I figured I might as well share my experience once again. Mike showed empathy, professionalism, and most importantly the willingness to represent me when no one else would. The outcome was beyond anything I thought was possible.

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.

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.
