Terrible Attorney

If you’re an attractive female… he will most likely harass you and not leave you alone. He wants “sugar”

"James Murphy is a very experienced personal injury attorney.

"James Murphy has the skills and proven record of success to fight for you. Many people have learned the hard way that most insurance companies are unfair, and only care about one thing, their bottom line. You only have one chance to gain a fair recovery for your injuries. The insurance company has their lawyers representing their interests -- shouldn't you?"
