I had an excellent experience working with Maya Murphy. The attorneys were responsive, offered strategic direction, moved the case along and communicated with me regularly. I am very pleased with the resolution of my case and highly recommend this firm.

It's my pleasure to submit a positive review for attorney Dan Murphy. Dan brings integrity to his profession, something I suspect he demonstrates in his personal life as well. During my 13 month divorce, he continually coached me on the value of restraint, always concerned with how any action might be perceived should we head to trial. His patience, coupled with his relentless attention to detail, resulted in a positive outcome when my divorce turned from amicable to litigious. Dan successfully reduced my now ex-wife's settlement demand by 85%. Her lawyer tried an aggressive approach that Dan's experience and coolheadedness was able to navigate and resolve using the facts of our case. While I am grateful to settling only weeks before our trial, part of me wishes I could have seen Dan litigate -- his tenacity and willingness to fight on my behalf was a preview I got to glimpse during deposition. Thank you, Dan.

Dan Murphy came highly recommended by a colleague and he proved to be an exemplary lawyer. He was extremely thorough, very organized, and tremendously strategic. Yet, Dan Murphy’s ability to make me feel safe and heard were characteristics that I found incredibly valuable. I would highly recommend lawyer Murphy to anyone in need of a family lawyer.

I recently found myself in a position where my license was about to be suspended due to a violation during a probationary period. This issue if unresolved would have been very costly and it was time sensitive. I reached out to Daniel Murphy for help and he delivered. He was incredibly responsive doing the initial leg work over the weekend and was very honest about both the likely outcomes and the cost. He was able to correct my issue and I was able to keep my car insurance from doubling for the next three years. I would recommend him to anyone who needs honest help.

Eva and Ephraim were very professional and got the job done right the first time. They both worked on my will and trust work. I would most definitely use them again.

Dan was unwavering in his determination to argue on my behalf: researching the best legal strategy, skillfully negotiating with the other parties while always being empathetic and caring to me and my family. I could not be more grateful to Dan for all his efforts in defending my case. I wholeheartedly recommend and endorse Dan for his legal services.

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.
