Posted by Robby | July 28, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Construction & Development

Commercial Finance and Construction Specialist!

Charles and the team at Murdock law is the best. They have represented me on multiple 6 digit construction and commercial finance claims and each time they far exceeded my expectations and recovery. Their billing is fair to say the least and they are always return my calls or emails immediately. My o...nly complaint is that they are not licensed to practice in all 50 states!

insurance litigation experience

I am very impressed by attorney Charles Schmidt. He is definitely the most professional and reliable person I have ever worked with. His success in handling a complicated home insurance case for me was nothing short of a miracle. The insurance compensation that he was able to negotiate for me was alm...ost five times the upper limit that the insurance company originally insisted on. Non of the other attorneys I worked with come anywhere close to the level of knowledge and experience that Charles has.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
