James Murnion

I had an outstanding experience working with James Murnion. From the very beginning, he was prompt, responsive, and incredibly professional. Every time I reached out, James got back to me quickly and made sure I understood exactly where things stood. What really stood out was his intelligence and ...deep knowledge of the law. He carefully explained my options, gave clear and practical advice, and always made sure I felt confident in the decisions we were making. His attention to detail and strategic approach made all the difference, and because of his guidance, my case had the best possible outcome. James is not only an excellent attorney but also someone who truly cares about doing right by his clients. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer who is smart, reliable, and dedicated.

James took his time and answered any questions I had, he also responded right away. He made sure I understood things and explained everything as this was my first time and was very overwhelmed. He was kind and friendly! I would highly recommend James!!!!

Dependable and Thorough!

I had an excellent experience working with James Murnion. From the outset, his communication was outstanding; he was always prompt and clear in his responses. I truly appreciated his patience and willingness to accommodate my schedule, which made the process much smoother. What impressed me the mo...st was his thoroughness and trustworthiness. He took the time to break down and explain the legal process in a way that was easy for me to understand, which greatly eased my concerns. Additionally, James is an impressive writer, crafting documents and correspondence that were not only clear but also compelling. Overall, I highly recommend James for anyone in need of legal assistance. His professionalism and dedication to his clients is truly commendable.

DUI case

James went above and beyond for me from the very beginning. I was nervous getting a public defender, but James did amazing. He cared about my case from the beginning and always made me felt heard. James greatly exceeded my expectations and was a fantastic lawyer. I truly believe he would have given m...e his all at trial if we would have gotten to that point.

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.
