Daniel Anthony Murphy

We knew Dan so we hired him to do a grandson visitation case with us. My problems is not about winning and losing the case. My complaint about Dan is his office staff and how incompetent and sloppy their work is. The paralegal, Angie, is the least agreeable person I've ever had to have a conversa...tion with - snarky, insulting, nasty which would have been tolerable if she actually knew what she was doing. However, she does not. She doesn't even remember what she said she would do. As a team, Dan and Angie forgot some very basic procedural criteria which basically got our case thrown out. We had to refile. It was still wrong. They made us get what they said was crucial information on the case, which turned out to be unimportant to the judge. The experience doing business with them was so frustrating because calls were not returned, nor were emails. We didn't get copied on emails. The front desk guy, Rob couldn't care less what you needed. Every single time I called he'd ask for my number. For some reason, he needed to get this information about 20 times. Not that it mattered. Those calls were hardly ever returned. I doubt he walked the 10 feet required to get the note on the desk of whomever we were trying to reach. Indeed, the treatment we received, especially from Angie was like acid in an open wound. They made one of the worst times of our lives even worse. By the time we were fed up, we already had invested in the time with them and couldn't afford to pay another attorney to start the case. I have no idea what we paid for. Nothing was ever done. I believe that in the afterlife, Dan will have to do some accounting because if he lives to be 100, he still would have billed like he lived to about 800. I would definitely NOT recommend this law office unless you want your family law case to go from being a highly emotional and stressful situation to a horror story. There are a lot of attorney jokes that go around. Dealing with this group makes me appreciate the most vicious ones.
