Attorney Robert Murphy responded to my online inquiry with in 24 hours, calling me on a Sunday to answer my questions. His dedication, commitment to his craft and professionalism are remarkable. His knowledge eased my mind and guided me in the right direction.

Attorney Murphy has represented me in two separate and very difficult cases. Both of which hadn’t shown much promise for a positive outcome. Neither of my cases had to go to court due to the knowledge and expertise of Attorney Murphy and his excellent negotiating tools. He was always readily available to address my many questions. He was quick to respond to a phone call or an email and always seemed to be working. Attorney Murphy exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend him.

Attorney Robert Murphy did an amazing and quick job saving me from myself after I had made a purchase I should not have. After realizing my mistake, I emailed many attorneys. Mr. Murphy responded quickly and was the only attorney who responded to my pleas for help. After I sent him back up paperwork he very quickly wrote an appropriately strong letter to the seller and I was let out of my deal. Within 2 days after contacting him, it was all over. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is extremely professional and to the point. He does not waste time on chit chat so I encourage anyone who contacts him to be direct, have all paperwork ready to scan or deliver to him and have questions ready. He moves quickly to resolve issues. On a related note I work for a large law firm and I have not met an attorney of his caliber in a long time. If you have a consumer related issue, I would definitely contact him for a fast evaluation.

While Robert Murphy was unable to help with my case, he was very fast responding to my inquiry and gave me free advice with a detailed explanation of what my options were and the next steps I should follow. Most lawyers don't even bother to respond if they cannot represent you. He is knowledgeable and kind, with a high level of professionalism. I would definitely recommend him and if I ever have a case where he can represent me, I would not hesitate to hire him.

I cannot say enough what a great experience it was working with Robert and having him represent me. He was professional, honest and to the point, he pulls no punches and doesn't beat around the bush. I have had a couple of extremely worrying and unnerving legal issues that he solved beyond what I could imagine. If you are looking for an attorney to take on your case and do everything he can to resolve it, you found him. I very highly recommend him. He is an advocate for the consumer and is highly respected in his field.

I can’t begin to express how much Mr. Murphy and his team helped and supported me with an unjust issue I was adversely faced with. His fairness and integrity is rarely seen within the legal profession and his diligence and preparedness was second to none. This is truly a genuine man and also a great person, in addition to being a sensational attorney.

Mr. Murphy spent more than 30 minutes with me, a prospective client, and educated me on debt collectors. He didn't have to spend so much time doing so, but this good man did. And I commend him. I was able to write the necessary letters to credit-reporting agencies, thanks to Mr. Murphy's excellent advice. I highly recommend him and his legal services.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
