Highly Recommend

Attorney Alia Derrick and Marjorie Murphy are a dynamic duo. I had a horrible experience with two attorneys prior to retaining their services. They are both excellent communicators and kept me informed. They were on top of everything. I am very pleased with the outcome. I would highly recommend them....

Condescending and Unprofessional.

I hired Marjorie as the Plaintiff. Unfortunately, she did not properly serve the defendant, and the judge had to schedule a hearing for insufficient service. The entire time, she approached me in a very condescending way. Although her persona is very arrogant and aggressive, she yelled at me the majo...rity of the time and I constantly had to repeat myself the entire time. When I fired her, she biasly charged me of 20 hours of work she did not commit. In addition, she even threatened to put a lean out on my case.

Energetic! Compassionate! Competent! Honest! Superior!

Marjorie Murphy is an AMAZING attorney! She worked tirelessly on my case and made it her mission to find resolution on my behalf. Ms. Murphy's work ethic is unparalleled and her professionalism is refreshing. She never wasted time; instead, she began working hard right from the outset. She fought... long and hard against a giant corporation and never backed down. When I had doubts, she reassured me. When I had questions, she educated me. She also took my financial situation in mind and often presented me with several options, detailing the pros and cons of each. I highly recommend Attorney Marjorie Murphy!

Highly Recommended,Compassionate, Knowledgeable, Responsive and Communicative Attorney

I can sit here and write all day about the Great Customer service, Compassion, knowledge and Great Degree of Separation that separates Ms. Murphy from any other attorney that I have dealt with or come into contact with but it still would not suffice to say just how Highly Satisfied I am with the over...all experience of having her as my attorney. She is a Dedicated Advocate for employees who may suffer from adverse actions through workplace Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, Retaliation, Whistle Blower cases and she is also Great with Personal Injury, Immigration and Family Law. I went to several attorney's and had the door closed in my face before finally stumbling upon Ms. Murphy. She is fair and selfless, she fights for your rights and for what is Right, Fair and Most Importantly...... Justice. I Highly Recommend Ms. Murphy to anyone that is in need of Superior Representation and a Strong Advocate for Employee Rights Ms. Marjorie A. Murphy is Definitely a Winner.
