Just over nine years ago our family was introduced to the criminal justice system. We wish this on no one. Our son was convicted of a drug related incident the summer prior to his freshman college year. Our nightmare began and the mounds of paperwork followed. We know now that the immediate restrictions brought on by a serious mistake in judgement can affect you for your entire life, limiting any possibility of a chance of a positive future. {para}We are thankful we solicited legal advice from At

Dan handled all aspects of my recent divorce settlement. To his credit he worked in an environment that was quite hostile at times and he was able to navigate through professionally while looking out for my best interests. Dan was thorough, diligent and always accessible. I would highly recommend Dan and the team at Maya Murphy, P.C. for their hard work, knowledge and professionalism.

Dan has a very easy going demeanor which worked well with my personality during our conversations but he could become the hard charger when he needed to in front of the adversary. In the end, he was able to create a bridge with my ex-spouses lawyer which resulted in a settlement.

I praise attorney Dan Murphy for his skill and professionalism in a matter for my wife and I that involved a very complex type of civil lawsuit. It was an extremely complex set of facts that needed to come to light in layman fashion to make the opposing side and the Judge see that the Plaintiff's claims were legally infirm. We were baffled at how swiftly the other side went down from his fine work. Do not overlook his mastery of extremely complex issues. Kudos to Maya & Murphy!

My ex and I hired Dan as a mediator as we finalized a divorce agreement. His approach, range of expertise and communication style was very valuable in achieving a workable agreement. I highly recommend Dan for divorce mediation.

I had an issue with a two non-compete provision in my employment contract with my former employer. I contacted Attorney Maya for help. He was very professional and his services were excellent. Thanks to his help I was able to start my own business. Truly great attorney. I recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer.

Let me be clear from the onset of this letter: the process of divorce is never one that a person would associate with positive feelings and experiences. Yet, having the right attorney working for, and with you, can make the emotional and legal entanglements of divorce manageable.

Dan laid out information regarding the case clearly. He was very thorough and made me understand exactly what we were going through and what we might be up against. He was supportive and positive, but made it clear what chances we were taking and made no promises. He always responded quickly to my messages and questions.

Dan is an excellent divorce lawyer. He excels in the discovery area. He is patient, kind and very good at explaining details. Dan is respectful that divorce is a painful process by not being pushy or aggressive with his client.
I was so lucky that I hired Dan Murphy.

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.
