Spectacular Attorney

I have been wanting to post this review but life got in the way. This attorney deserves 10 Stars. I hired Robert Murphy to help me recover some monies after buying a car from one of the most sleezy, unscrupulous, dishonest dirtbag family run used car dealers in the Lauderdale area. (BELIEVE REVIEWS) ...I had not only been ripped off by this dealer but also by the first attorney I hired through my legal plan to represent me. She basically billed for over 20k and literally didn't do a thing for over a year other than damage my case and line her pockets. Anyway I retained Mr. Murphy and he agreed to take my case although it wasn't going to be easy to win because apparently proving fraud isn't cut and dry and the prior attorney left a mess. I basically was at square 1. Well I am happy to say through hard work and vigilance Mr. Murphy was able to reach a settlement on my behalf with this place that I made the mistake of doing business with. I highly recommend Mr. Robert Murphy. Great Attorney and a Great Man!!! Thanks Bob!!! Dan S Maryland

Excellent lawyer

Mr. Murphy was very diligent on my case, easily, quickly and personally, responded every time I had a question and got the work done! My case was regarding a dealership who overcharged and did not report my trade in on time, I would definitely recommend him, he was very pleasant, timely and thorough!...

Perfectly met our legal needs

We hired Robert W. Murphy to write a demand letter requesting the return of a large deposit we had with a RV dealer. Mr. Murphy promptly responded to my request for consultation, dealt with me personally, and expeditiously wrote and sent the letter. We felt we were taken seriously by the RV dealer... and got the result we wanted. Mr. Murphy is a highly knowledgeable and well-known consumer protection litigator. Thankfully, we had a successful outcome without the need for litigation; however, we felt confident that he would have best served our needs in that regard, too.

Absolute professional

We,as humans, find ourselves enduring hardships throughout our lives. One such hardship for me was the purchase of a pwc from a dealership. The deal went array almost immediately and I was left taken back and overwhelmed by the busines's conduct and lack of professionalism. In my situation, I gave th...e dealership 6 months to right the wrong but they knew exactly how to prolong the process in the absence of legal representation. For my part, I kept every record I could pertaining to the case. I also remained honest with Mr. Murphy even when it didn’t feel like it was beneficial. He deserves honesty. In comes Mr. Murphy, whom is an absolute professional in everything he does. He is a straight shooter who uses all the facts and copious amounts of research coupled with his astute understanding of consumer law to rectify the situation.(read his curriculum vitae). He teaches consumer law at the University of Florida. In my case, I was up against big cooperate lawyers. They knew who he was and had a profound respect for his interpretation of the law. It felt as though that there’s a great chance that many lawyers practicing law in the southeast may have been directly or indirectly under his tutelage. When dealing with Mr. Murphy, he is direct and very mindful of your time. Lastly, the most comforting part of my business relation with him is that he maintained an open line of communication directly to him. (You talk to him..not a legal aid or paralegal) Because of his commitment to that, my anxiety and stress levels were as low as I could have ever asked for. Furthermore, I was able to maintain a clear communication of my expectations throughout every step of the process. Mr. Murphy, thank you! Go Gators!

"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."
