Excellent Attorney

Based on Attorney Murphy's reviews, my Husband and I contacted him to see if he would take our case. He reviewed our documents and agreed to take it and was extremely helpful in explaining the process and possible outcomes. He was thorough, efficient and professional throughout the entire process. ... We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an Attorney in the area of his expertise.

A Trustworthy and Reliable Attorney

Attorney Murphy is incredibly professional, knowledgeable and dedicated. From the very beginning, he communicated clearly and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. He resolved the matter efficiently and with great care and I couldn’t be more grateful for his help. If you're looking for so...meone who is not only skilled but also genuinely committed to their clients, I highly recommend Attorney Murphy.

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!...

Amazing Consumer Advocate

Attorney Robert Murphy did an amazing and quick job saving me from myself after I had made a purchase I should not have. After realizing my mistake, I emailed many attorneys. Mr. Murphy responded quickly and was the only attorney who responded to my pleas for help. After I sent him back up paperwork ...he very quickly wrote an appropriately strong letter to the seller and I was let out of my deal. Within 2 days after contacting him, it was all over. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is extremely professional and to the point. He does not waste time on chit chat so I encourage anyone who contacts him to be direct, have all paperwork ready to scan or deliver to him and have questions ready. He moves quickly to resolve issues. On another note I work for a large law firm and I have not met an attorney of his caliber in a long time. If you have a consumer related issue, I would definitely contact him for a fast evaluation.

"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."
