We are well experienced in making up Chapter 13 plans that will be approved by the bankruptcy trustee. If clients cooperate with what they are asked to do, the process usually runs smoothly.

DO NOT HIRE HIM

He’s a complete con artist and a liar, there is no way he passed the bar exam, he brought my wife’s traffic ticket up to grand larceny

Wronged by lifelong attorney

I have used Mr. Murphy for years and he has handled several ordeals for me over the years. When Mr. Murphy was hungry and still not that big he was great. Suddenly he has outgrown his former clients and is now dealing with bigger clients. Mr. Murphy most recently handled my divorce scenario and boy d...id he get me stuck with a pitchfork. Knowing very well that my business was going under, he left me out to dry and got me hung with ridiculous child support payments. Then on top of that, he basically quit communicating with me altogether when I needed him to look into some modifications to make life somewhat manageable. Finally after a long period of avoiding my calls and or text messages, he sends me a reply that says that "I am no longer a viable client and to find a new attorney." Seriously??? What kind of attorney fires a paying client? It is unfortunate that Mr. Murphy is now too big in his career to take care of the little people that helped get him where he is today. I would not recommend him for any divorce matters at all. From what I hear, he is a decent attorney for bankruptcies but even then with the kind of service he provides you may be better off looking elsewhere.

Prompt, knowledgeable and Professional Attorney

Recommended to us for our unfortunate situation and what a wonderful job he did. Felt comfortable with Mr. Murphy because he explained the process every step of the way. No surprises, just do as he tells you and you'll be a very happy client.
