Excellent attorney

I would highly recommend Dan Murray and his legal assistant, Kelly. Both were very well organized and easy to work with. Dan knows the law and is extremely efficient in court. He does not waste the courts time and gets the job done. He’s fair on billing.

Outstanding Representation

Mr. Murray represented my fiancé and I in our family matter exceptionally well. He has an outstanding demeanor that radiates in the courtroom. He is respectful to counsel yet aggressive in address important points. He is not looking to waste time or money, but to take care of business.

amazing and kind

Dan and Kelly were amazing in helping me through one of the most difficult times in my life, they were patient and kind and I will always keep them in my thoughts and prayers

I recommend Dan without hesitation

The legal process can be confusing and intimidating. Dan has a presence about him that is calming and supportive. Nothing ruffles his feathers. While in court I experienced his knowledge, organization and edge all of which showed how committed he was to my case. He demonstrated skills in communicati...on and negotiation. For example, Often I had a certain view on how/what should occur and because of his skills the end result was better than I expected. After my initial consultation I felt Dan understood my needs and was going to support me through the difficult and complicated process. I was confident that Dan could work on my behalf for the best possible outcome. Dan didn't tell me what I wanted to hear rather he was up front and honest about possible results. He was thorough, and available. When I had a question or concern he was responsive, able to reference particulars of my case, and patient with my inexperience.

Recommended with confidence

Dan represented me in my highly contested divorce, which lasted about 11 months and included many days of trial on child custody. A settlement was not possible, and litigation was necessary. I am an attorney, but I could not have represented myself--I was too emotionally involved. Trusting someone... else to protect your parent-child relationship is difficult, especially at trial, but Dan took my case seriously and performed admirably. Dan is an experienced, hard-working, trial attorney. I am very thankful for his help, and I recommend him without reservation.

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.
