The Law Office of Neil P. Murphy
Areas of Practice
Estate Planning
I understand that an estate plan must fit the particular needs of the client. They have experience designing sophisticated planning strategies for complicated estates and trusts as well as simple estate plans. They first ask clients about their goals and then provide them with the legal tools to achieve their goals.

Criminal Law
If you or someone you love has been ticketed or arrested, it is urgent that legal advice is obtained immediately. Failure to have a ticket or arrest properly handled could result in unnecessary fines, costs, a loss of your driver’s license, or even jail time.

Personal Injury
When someone is physically or emotionally injured, or his or her personal property is damaged, it is considered in law to be a “Personal Injury.” The laws covering personal injury allow the injured party to receive compensation for damages caused by someone else’s carelessness, negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions. Personal injury law is also called “tort” law. State and federal governments have enacted tort laws for the protection of your rights. Tort actions have 3 elements: There must be a legal duty between the defendant (the one doing the wrong) and the plaintiff (the person injured); there must be a breach of that duty; and damage must occur because of that breach. When all 3 elements are present, a personal injury or tort has occurred.
