Dave resolved a legal dispute filed in the Superior Court by a major International corporation. He was knowledgeable, confident, and knew exactly when and how to take things the extra mile in the process. He explained my options clearly, and was focused on achieving the best outcome for my case. I had a lot of questions, and Dave was always available by phone and email, and took the time to break things down for my understanding. His instincts were spot on, and he made me feel safe going through a very stressful process.

Dave worked on an unemployment dispute for me and was successful at getting the initial decision reversed. Going into the hearing, he prepared me well and gave me confidence to handle the questions by the examiner. Dave always answers my emails and phone calls promptly. He listens with intent to understand the viewpoint of his client and then explains the way the law will apply in your particular case.

Dave worked with me through some family law issues during a difficult time. He brought clarity and comfort to some overwhelming legal questions that I had. When going through difficult personal circumstances, you want a lawyer who brings patience and compassion to the table. You also want someone who has a full and comprehensive understanding of the law. Dave has all of the above. He was very adept at navigating me through some stormy waters.

I cannot describe how grateful we were to have Dave on our side. He took on a big company who basically utilized a "bait and switch" technique with us. Even though we did not allow for the lesser quality product to be installed, they still insisted on full payment for product and services that were never rendered. He is the most compassionate, caring, knowledgeable and professional lawyer we have encountered. With his strong legal skills and experience he was able to achieve the result we wanted. I would highly recommend Dave for any contractual/business disputes you may have.

Dave helped me with an estate matter in his area. I was representing a client in a wrongful death case in Chicago and needed his help opening an estate in MA. The issue was complex but Dave diligently researched the issue and formulated a plan quickly. He got me the results I needed by the time I needed them.

Our company is a client of attorney David Murphy for a business case in US District Court. Attorney Murphy represents our company as a defendant and plaintiff in counterclaim in the case that began in September of 2016. Based on my experience, I highly recommend attorney Murphy for corporate and business law practice. Mr. Murphy is a very talented and knowledgeable attorney who cares a great deal about the case. He never misses a scheduled meeting, always takes calls and answers emails. What I especially like about him is his ability to remain calm and find solutions by researching when a challenge arises.
