Testimonials

I don’t have any medical bills, I’m receiving revenue for my pain and suffering, and I’m very appreciative. I am truly satisfied with the results of my case.
"The best part about having James Murphy as my workers' compensationlawyer is that I have someone to speak for me..."
The initial phone call made me feel as though they really cared. They made us feel like a number, and Murphy & Associates didn't. My wife and I have never gone through something like this before and accidents can be devastating to a family because of loss of income, pain and suffering.
Murphy & Associates made my experience fast and easy, and got the job done.
Murphy & Associates Car Accident Law firm is professional, efficient, and a pleasant experience doing business with.
I was involved in a rear-end collision while stopped at a red light. Mr. Murphy and his staff guided me through this long process from obtaining medical treatment to settling with the other party's insurance company.

How much will it cost me to hire a lawyer?

Make sure the lawyer fully identifies and explains the legal problems you currently face. The lawyer should give you some idea of the amount of money required in legal fees as well as expenses for the action that he/she is going to take for you. Whether the client is charged on an hourly basis or a contingent fee basis, the reason for the fee should be fully explained to you. Before actually agreeing for the lawyer to represent you, feel free to get an explanation of the fee in writing from the lawyer and signed by both of you. See the definitions below for fees.

Retainer Fee. Advance payment to the lawyer for a portion of his or her fee.

Fee. An agreed-upon percentage of any monies obtained through settlement, trial or negotiation.

Hourly Fee. The lawyer's hourly rate multiplied by the number of hours (or portion of hours) spent on your case.

Fixed Fee. A specific amount of money for a specific service.

Cost Advance. Periodic advance payment to the lawyer for on-going expenses associated with litigation.

Mixed Fee. Combination of contingency and hourly fees.
