Review Joseph Dean Murphy

Justice Redefined

The term "justice" has been over-used in to today's society so much that the term has lost meaning or become ambiguous and subjective. I needed counsel from an attorney who had a firm understanding of the law, an objective viewpoint and one who would seek justice in my case. Justice defined by the laws of this country, state, county and city. Mr Murphy worked diligently on my case, outlining the wrongs of the case, and that i was the true victim. I was rewarded with true justice and I have only Mr Murphy's hard work, ethics and understanding of law to thank. He will be my attorney on all matters in the future.

Mr Murphy was extremely informative, respectful, and professional during all matters of handling my case. He explained all aspects of the case from start to finish. He was able to work miracles with my particular situation. I strongly recommend Joseph Murphy if one is ever in need of a lawyer.

Mr. Murphy's strongest suite is criminal law but he is not limited to this one area. Mr. Murphy was also hired in several civil matters, including the incorporation of my business. All matters that Mr. Murphy was involved in had a very favorable outcome. I will continue to use Mr. Murphy's services whenever needed. One stop shopping for legal services.

I chose Joe because of his reputation as a prosecutor. I found a lawyer who knows how the system works from the inside out. I used him for a contract disagreement and he got me the results I wanted. The situation was resolved quietly and quickly. A good lawyer? You bet!

We were promised results, and ended up paying MORE in the end. I feel we were intentionally misled with empty promises so he could make that extra dollar. If you can't help me, just say so, and I will move on. I don't appreciate being fooled into paying attorneys fees, when they knew good and well they wouldn't be able to help. I'm glad to see they don't treat every case (or client) like they have us. I also don't appreciate the fact that (despite several promises) Mr. Murphy NEVER contacted me like I was told he would.
