Worst lawyer Ever!’

If you ask him a question he makes you feel stupid for asking. And I mean any and every question. Mixes up his clients even sends out paperwork belonging to wrong client. Belittles his clients. And does not follow through with the plan. Will not admit if he’s made a mistake.And getting another of his... client’s paperwork is a Big mistake and privacy issue. Tells you he’ll check on things and never does. Bottom Line he’s terrible! Giving him money to represent you is like throwing it out a window. Don’t waste any time with him he’ll just make you feel ignorant!

Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Murray Bell! My boyfriend was given him as a court appointed lawyer and he worked hard and got his sentenced reduced. Fast forward a year later I land myself in some major trouble and legal issues, I as well was truly blessed to be given him as a lawyer too. I felt relieved when I ...knew I had him! Good man who truly works hard for his clients!

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2023.

Reprimand issued in IA, 2023

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
