Excellent Attorney

Mr. Murphy did very good work on our behalf. We appreciate everything he did. He was honest, straight-forward and he had the skill and wisdom to bring opposing sides to an agreement. We would heartily recommend Mr. Murphy.

Legal Council

I had a case with a home contractor who was doing bad business with my family. We felt bullied, threatened and were not sleeping at night due to these crooked people. In 1 letter and 1 phone call Mr Murphy cleared up all our problems. I would recommend him hands down not only for peace of mind but fo...r the professionalism in which he handled the case. Thank you sir..

Great Attorney

Mr. Murphy looked over my issue with a crooked service provider and gave me insight into what I needed to do and what had not been done on in the closing of my chapter 13. Since I am in Georgia and the foreclosure laws are so different after countless hours Mr. Murphy took reviewing my documents, I w...ill need a Georgia attorney. Mr. Murphy is a great attorney.

He wasted a year of our time......

My local attorney referred me to Robert Murphy to handle a civil case against my mortgage lender. We foresaw this case growing into a class action and "thought" that Mr. Murphy was well versed in these matters. Mr. Murphy agreed to handle the case and we sent off all our documents and evidence to his... Florida office. We spoke with him several times regarding the facts of the case. After many months of not hearing back from him we heard, via our local attorney, that Robert Murphy "lost interest" in the case! In the end , he wasted about a year, dragging his feet and delaying our litigation. He eventually returned all our documents. Since then, we have retained new counsel in Los Angeles and have filed our matter. In closing, our case would be over with by now if we would have originally retained a competent attorney

"Robert is a blue chip consumer protection attorney, especially in the field of auto fraud. I practice consumer law as well and have utilized Robert’s vast knowledge in this area in representing my own clients. Not many lawyers would take time out of their day to help a competitor, but Robert is passionate about his practice area and has done just that for me. He is very active and well regarded in our community. I highly reccomend Robert."
