Review of Hacker & Murphy

Five colleagues and I had a labor issue with a former employer. We contacted Jim Hacker about this and he helped us resolve the issue without going to trial or even having to get attorneys involved on either side to do the negotiating. He was quick to handle everything we asked of him and he was ho...nest in his assessment of our situation. We were successful in reaching a resolution to this matter than all six of us were very pleased with.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
