Review for Craig Murphy of Murphy and Murphy

I was in a car accident in March of 2016, and had a lot of personal injury, broken bones, internal injury etc. Things looked bleak as the person who hit didn't seem to have any insurance, or at least didn't admit to having any insurance. Mr. Murphy tracked down her insurance and I received a settleme...nt. I was able to pay my hospital and Dr.'s bills and still have something for me. I am very glad to have Murphy & Murphy in my corner and would hire him again.

Amazing Experience!

I cannot even begin to tell you the professionalism and personalized service provided by this firm. My family was involved in a bad auto accident on 09/07/2015. Having little to no experience with legal issues it was intimidating. I retained Arizona counsel. The Arizona attorney was unable to try th...e case because of jurisdiction and subsequently he referred me to Craig Murphy's firm to handle my case in Nevada. Communication was efficient and concise. As per usual, big insurance company tried to bully my family so i had many questions but I never felt I was a burden at any point when I called to ask the 'silly' questions. Great advice was given potentially saving me thousands of dollars. They helped to put tragic events in my family's history and helped restore us back to a sense of normality. True professionals in their industry!! Thank you for being the good ones. Top tier representation.

Honest, professional and a great negotiator.

I had a vehicle accident and I remembered Craig Murphy from the past providing us free consultation. He informed us we may or may not need an attorney and provided us his book free of charge to help us determine. He offers his book for free and it provides information on what to do, to protect yourse...lf, if you have an accident. It is a must have for every person's library. We handled it ourselves last time and realized now that we would have been much better off hiring Craig even if the amount would have been peanuts. The insurance companies were not upfront and it is more beneficial to have counsel. I hired him for a latter accident and applied some of the things I learned from his book to protect myself as well. Craig's office handled everything. I am pleased with the outcome. The insurance even gave a bonus for negotiating to closure outside of court. I recommend Craig to anyone looking for an attorney you can trust.

Contact with Craig M. Murphy

I was referred to Craig M. Murphy by the Nevada State Bar. When I called his office, I couldn't believe he answered the phone himself. He took the time to talk to me about my workmans comp case and the bad experience I had with my other attorneys. He seems like a very dedicated and caring man. I di...d not find any compassion in my other attorneys. There are not that many attorneys that I trust now. During our conversation, he took the time to explained things to me. He referred me to another attorney that may be able to help me reopen my workmans comp case. He seems very determined and knows about the law. I felt comfortable speaking with him and taking his advice. We need more attorneys like him. There are so many attorneys that don't care about their clients. I would recommend Craig Murphy to anyone that needs legal help.

Highly Recommend

Craig Murphy handled my case for injuries from a car accident. I had a complicated case. Craig and his office staff were professional and attentive, and their representation resulted in a very fair settlement without a trial. I recommend them for their high integrity and honesty as well as for their ...effectiveness. I learned after my settlement that Mr. Murphy has settled historic cases on behalf of his clients -- and I am not a bit surprised. Don't retain anyone else until you speak with Craig Murphy first!
