A+++++++ Recommendation

Mike Murphy is a dedicated advocate for his clients and an exceptional employment law attorney. When I found myself in a very hostile situation with my employer, he stood out not only for his deep knowledge of employment law and the legal process, but also for the genuine care he showed during a time... when I felt especially vulnerable. Mike never pressured me to pursue legal representation. Instead, he listened carefully to my concerns and took the time to understand my situation. From the initial consultation onward, Mike provided thoughtful and honest guidance, clearly explaining whether my case had merit and outlining the options available to me. I cannot overstate how reassuring it was to have someone with his expertise and experience by my side. Ultimately, my case reached a resolution that I was satisfied with, and I truly believe his guidance played an important role in that outcome. For these reasons, I give my highest A+++++++ recommendation to Murphy Law Group, LLC and especially to Mike Murphy.

Do not hesitate to contact this great legal team!!!

I would highly recommend this firm! Lawyer Ben Salvina and his colleagues, from the beginning, were very professional . They listened and advised me with confidence. They kept me informed, and were readily available to answer any questions I had. I never needed a lawyer before, but the team made my l...egal issue a very clear and simple one. They made a bad personal situation into an easy process. So I would not hesitate to contact Murphy Law Group if you are in need of a great legal team. They will advise you on what your options are with confidence and integrity. I cannot be happier with the result and with the whole experience. Thanks Ben!! your kindness and commitment will always be remembered.

Excellent lawyer with stellar service

Working with Michael and his team was an extremely positive experience. At a time that I needed solid advice, he was there and made me feel comfortable that he understood my values and what the important part of the issues was for me. He made sure that I always understood what options were availab...le to me and could define the next steps of each path to help me make an informed decision. He and his team are very responsive and no question how silly will go unanswered.

Very patient - great service

I found Mr Murphy and his team, very easy to work with - they understood what was important to me, and were extremely patient with me. They do this every day but it was a new (and scary) experience for me. They held my hand the whole way through it and made it as easy as it could be. I couldn't b...e happier with choosing to work with the Murphy Law Group.

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.

  • 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.
