Hired Attorney 2023-2024It sounds like you've had a very frustrating experience with attorney Meaghan Murphy. Here is a Google review based on your description: --- **Rating: 1 star** **Review:** I had a terrible experience with attorney Meaghan Murphy. She failed to provide the paperwork required by New York State law, did not respond to emails in a timely manner, and when she did, her responses were filled with excuses. She told me to come in at my convenience, and when I provided a time and day, both she and her assistant Susan ignored my emails. As a single mother who works full time and attends school full time, it is extremely difficult for me to take time off, and when I finally did, she ignored me. All I wanted was a copy of a will that I am legally entitled to, but she refused to provide it. Meaghan Murphy is rude, condescending, unethical, and malicious. She speaks to clients as if they are stupid. I just needed the paperwork to ensure my daughter's future is secure, but she made it incredibly difficult. I have still yet get the paperwork that I am legally entitled too. If you are looking for a lawyer, look elsewhere. I have filed a formal complaint with the grievance committee and will be filing more complaints against her. She is extremely unprofessional and clearly does not care about the well-being of an 18-month-old child. Avoid her at all costs.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
