Social Security & Disability 100%

I help people with Social Security disability problems and SSI claims. I meet face to face with all my clients (unless they prefer not to meet) and also prepare them for court in person. Your file will not be handed off to someone you've never met when it is time to go to court.

Great Lawyer

Peter Murphy , when he took on my case he did not waste time he filed my appeal and went above and beyond for the next year to get all the information needed for the case. On the day of the case he gave the Judge all the information he asked for and he presented my case very professionally and this i...s why my case was won. I would recommend Peter to anyone who has a SSI disability .

Exellent Lawyer

Mr. Murphy successfully and expediently completed my SSDI case. He carefully explained the details of my case and took the time to answer ALL of my questions.

If your looking for someone who is extremely knowledgeable regarding SSA/disability. Mr Murphy is who you need to hire. its difficult to handle on your own. He reviews all records, keeps you informed and prepares you for court hearing. He helped me win my case. Thanks so much Mr. Murphy

1st I prayed about it - then I called Peter Murphy

It was a scary situation. In my 50s and with the same company for 25 years. Now I’ve had 4 back surgeries and 1 more already scheduled. I don’t want to be Out-Of-Work. What should I do? I didn’t even know anyone who was on SSDI. I looked and looked, trying to decide: If I should call - or - Who I sho...uld call to find the right Attorney to represent me. Finally I called Peter Murphy, I spoke with Carla at the front desk and made an appointment. I met with Mr. Murphy right away. He was very respectful, confident and answered all my questions and he took my case. He called me later that night and to my surprise, he was filing my claim online THAT VERY NIGHT. He called me today and told me I had been approved for SSDI. Throughout the process, Social Security sent me a “ton” of forms, questionnaires, etcetera. They denied the initial request and I rarely knew what to do. Whenever I had ANY questions, I called Mr. Murphy’s office. They were always prompt, polite and many times said “Just let me handle that” It’s a long process and I’m sure I couldn’t have done everything that’s required without him. I’m grateful and I recommend Peter Murphy.

"Pete and I worked together 20 years ago when we were fledgling attorneys, and I am proud to call him a friend all these years later. He exhibited then and continues to exhibit a passion for advocacy, and a true compassion for his clients. He has a real knowledge of the disability program and a creative approach to building the strongest claim possible. Even after all these years, I still call him for case advice from time to time, and I greatly value his suggestions."
