Highly recommended

My husband and I purchased our home together before we were married. Mr. Murphy helped us to change the deed to the home after our status changed to husband and wife. He made the entire process smooth and simple, and we are very grateful for his efforts, knowledge, and professionalism. I will cont...inue to recommend this firm to friends and family.

A swift, decisive response to our problem

My wife and I were taken advantage of by an unscrupulous car dealership. The first problem was that even though they had agreed in writing to provide a second key fob, they stalled for several weeks after being presented with a legitimate bill. We were also advised by the lender on our trade in veh...icle nearly two months after the sales transaction, that it had not been paid off as required by the sales contract. Furthermore, unless we paid the next payment in the next few days, the result would be a late pay notice in our credit report. Because a close friend works at DeLoach, Hofstra & Cavonis. P.A. we decided to hire Joe Murphy for his advice. Attorney Murphy took immediate action. This got their attention in a way that we could not, and they agreed to pay all our cost. As promised, a check for the full amount arrived a few days later. I was impressed by swift and decisive action taken. I would recommend attorney Murphy for anyone needing results.

Pickles and Hospital Visits

I contacted Mr Murphy after I was in a pretty bad car accident to represent me against the at fault party. Not only did he do so graciously, he also made hospital visits to bring any paperwork I needed to read and fill out. He always explained everything to me in detail so that I would understand wha...t was going on and any time I had a question, he was always sure to get back to me as soon as he was available. Throughout the process, I knew I could count on him and had a trust in him that he would do everything he could do to help me. And that's just what he did. He's such a caring and compassionate attorney with such a passion for his job and I very highly recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat! Me Murphy, thank you so much for your hard work and everything you did for me!

Excellent Litigator

Joe is an excellent litigator who kept his cool and calm demeanor under pressure. He kept his composure in the courtroom and I was very impressed! I would strongly recommend him to anybody who needs a competent, knowledgeable and compassionate attorney.
