Review Benjamin Murphy

Morally and Legally Trustworthy

Posted by

Ben Murphy goes beyond the call of his job. He has represented our family several times. Our situation was by far abnormal. While there were times we started to lose faith, Ben never did. He always fights for what is right and what is deserved. He stands firm in his morals and belief in the justice system. He worked with us financially and mentally. If we ever find ourselves at the crossfire of another situation, we will no doubt continue to have Ben represent us.

Custody battle.

Mr. Murphy is a great lawyer! He really fights hard for you. I wanted to be able to see my child and that's what he faught for. Ben Murphy is honest and answers any questions you may have, regardless of how silly the questions may be. He is just a lawyer that is truly on your side.

Excellent DUI Attorney

Mr. Murphy, handled my case with extreme efficiency and knowledge of the local process. He was obviously really busy, but still responded to my inquiries and made the unfortunate incident that I had, something that was painless to deal with. I highly recommend him.

I beg to differ...

Posted by

I just saw a review posted by "Keith". I beg to differ with his review. Mr. Murphy has always been the most professional person me and my family have ever dealt with. We have used him for a few different cases, and he was always successful in defending us. Thank you Mr. Murphy for your hard work and professionalism.

I hired Mr. Murphy to handle my divorce and custody case. His knowledge of the law and his courtroom presence could not be topped. He was incredible at trial, and I received everything I asked for. I highly recommend using him for any legal issue.
