Outstanding

I know from working with Joe several times in the past that he is a highly skilled mediator and advocate. I recommend him for any type of mediation or litigation.

Joe is outstanding!

I have known Joe for many years as both a lawyer and mediator. He is superb in both capacities. Not only is Joe smart, talented, and professional but he's also engaging and personable. As a mediator, he has the attorney trial experience you want. I look forward to my next opportunity to work with... Joe.

Attorney

Joe did a tremendous job in mediating a personal injury case for me recently. I had the pleasure of working with Joe several years ago when we represented adverse parties in a lawsuit. As a mediator, Joe showed the same mix of bulldog toughness and ingenuity but still being a very nice guy that he ...used so effectively as a trial lawyer. This is a tough blend but Joe has it. In our mediation, Joe stayed after everyone and the case got resolved. It is easy to see why Joe has become one of the very top mediators in Georgia.

Review of Joe Murphey by Lawson Thompson, CPCU, Frontier Adjusters of Atlanta

As an independent adjuster, I have been exposed to all types of attorneys over twenty five years and consider Joe to be among the best. His gentle demeanor is an asset which belies his skill and tenacity and his humble attitude provided the keyto settlement in some of the most difficult cases ...we shared. Whether plaintiff or defendant, parties can rely on Joe's knowledge, judgement and advice and I am proud to give him my highest recomendation.

"I met Joe when we were briefly on opposite sides of a case. Since then, I have had the opportunity to get to know Joe better and have seen that aside from being a great attorney, he is a gifted mediator. I have sought Joe's perspective several times on other cases of mine and his insights have been invaluable. I whole-heartedly endorse his work."
