John M. Murphy

John Murphy is a nice guy but his ethics need some work. He handled my case for almost a year. He never returns phone calls unless you repeatedly call his office. We’re talking weeks not days. Never answers your emails. Tried to get a petition filed right away but due to his poor communication i...t was filed 4 months later. Told me the filing was done in December, not record with the court house. Wasn’t done till January after I made multiple calls to his office. If you want a lawyer that’s passive, he’s your man.

I would have to agree with the other people who rated him poorly. This guy is very unprofessional. He doesn't answer calls, acts without consulting you first, pads charges and overbills you, and is never prepared or knows what's going on. He is very arrogant and callous especially considering the na...ture of family court that is not the type of lawyer you want working on case. He is only worried about his payment and not about fighting for what you want as a client. If you want a lawyer who doesn't know if you have a court date or not even after he himself cancelled it, this is your guy. If you want a lawyer who will charge you thousands of dollars, but will not get you a signed court agreement even though both parties are in agreement, hire him. if you want a lawyer who does not call you back, is not actively involved in your case, but charges you ungodly amounts of money to do nothing, this is definitely your guy.

Never calls you back. Unprepared, Seems disconnected and detached as a person. Doesn't or wont fight for what you want, and will try to pressure you to settle. Just in it for the paycheck, Had I known he was this way I would have hired someone else. Custody battles are bad enough, this guy just made ...it a nightmare. D

i hired this guy for a family case, all was good upfront he talked a good game. He is very unorganized and forgot about a hearing for the case. Then he never and I mean never returns your calls, I called him 20-30 times over 4 months. He is non agressive and just will go along with anything in cou...rt to get to his next case. He cost me over $10,000 because he never presented the paperwork I gave him in court. I think he could do a good job if he cared but its clear he doesn't This guy basically took my money showed up in court for 5 minutes and never called me back

In this day and age of critical debt issues, we hired John to represent us in an important matter to avoid/delay bankruptcy, and garnishment. Initially, all was well, but when things get complicated, he wont return phone calls, and has never responded to emails. So far he's cost me over $500 in fines... due to lack of response. Its clear he isn't interested in finishing the job he agreed to do.
