Hired Law Firm

You will get the resolution you are looking for-just be prepared to pay for it. The attorneys at Maya Murphy are tenacious, knowledgeable and thorough. Attorney Walsh was very professional, easy to communicate with and always timely. He knew the letter of the insurance law inside and out to fight for me when it came to the insurance company trying to deny my claim for erroneous reasons. He definitely did his due diligence. Paying thousands in lawyers fees was worth it to me because the judgement was worth far more. Just make sure as a client what you want resolved is worth what you will pay out. This law firm is a good one to have on your side if you can afford it. I’d recommend them anytime.

I used the services of Mr. Sweeney. He was very professional. If he wasn't sure about the answer to my questions, he would admit it, research the answer and get back to me. I felt very comfortable with him.

Hired Law Firm

When you pay this firm you are getting expensive copying and scanning services from newly graduated lawyers still learning their field. They took my money, then withdrew, then lied to me - three of their lawyers two females and a male on the zoom call witnessing/complicit with the lying trying to take advantage of layperson - told me that I could not have my file or the work I paid for when I asked for it, and then when another honest lawyer told me I was legally entitled to my file and work product and I emailed them pursuant to CT practice code I am entitled to my file they all the sudden produced what they they had just lied to me saying I could not have. Then they sent me two more bills each for $3K, double changing me for document reading and a bunch of elementary "research" I could do myself. They tried to get me to pay for work product not produced. I left that experience feeling taken advantage of and extremely way over charged. Hire someone else.

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.
