James Murtha is simply the best. He answered all my questions, and got right to work on my case. I felt at ease like I was in good hands from the minute I called him. Even when I knew I was being a pest he was professional and put my mind at ease. When we got to court he made minced meat of my lying no good tenants and their lawyer. He showed them a thing or two and I won my case. Thanks James.

I called Mr Murtha after hours tonight and he graciously answered his phone. I told him of some threats my landlord made regarding my departure from my apartment and not getting my deposit returned. Mr Murtha clearly explained my rights and put me at ease, knowing i would not need his services but at the same time still treating me like a long standing client. Not all Landlord Tenant lawyers fight for the tenant, James Murtha does. I strongly recommend is services to anyone on Long Island that needs help.

I called Mr. Murtha for a free consultation. I thought I would need a lawyer and it would be expensive because that's what 2 other lawyers told me. They said I needed to hire them to do an eviction. But Mr. Murtha explained that an eviction wasn't necessary and I didn't need a lawyer at all. He solved my problems by explaining that I didn't have any! And he didn't charge me for the consultation. If I ever do need a lawyer, I know who to go to: James Murtha.

I retained James Murtha for a complicated eviction and I was losing sleep over it. But it wasn’t complicated for him. He put my mind at ease and walked me through the process. I knew I was in good hands from the first consultation. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

I was impressed and pleasantly surprised when Mr. Murtha answered the phone himself. Such of breath of fresh air getting a quick response. The consultation was truly complimentary. No aggressive sales pitch. It was simply factual information that addressed my eviction concerns. As far as pricing, it was also nice to hear a reasonable flat fee as opposed to the retainer fee which can sometimes be very unsettling. In my experience, how you do one thing, is how you do everything, and I feel very good about hiring Mr. Murtha for my future eviction suits. I'm confident you will have a positive updated review from me and my folks about the quality and efficiency of the eviction suits.

James is very skillful and experienced and he really knows his stuff. He answered all of my questions and was always there when I had an issue and he was always polite even when I know I was being a pest. He put my mind at ease and the eviction of my tenant went very smooth and fast. He is the best and I would use him again in a heartbeat.

James was fast and highly effective in getting our tenant evicted. We were at our wits' end having to deal with the most problem tenant ever. Then we found James Murtha. He was responsive and listened to our concerns. He was highly professional and we felt we were in good hands throughout the process. He was there for us when we needed him and he accomplished all of our goals in a very short time. We would definitely use him again and we recommend him highly.

I hired James Murtha to evict my tenants from a home I own in Nassau County. Being a widow, and having had prior issues with my tenants, I anticipated I would have difficulties getting them to leave. This proved to be true. Even after being properly served - my tenants refused to leave and used every means to claim they had "rights" in order to stall their eviction. However, Mr. Murtha met them head on - even changing his approach while at court - that resulted in a stipulation of settlement signed by my tenants. If he had not done what he did at the time - my tenants - who knew how to work the system- would probably have been able to get the case delayed for another 2 or 3 months. I'm thankful I used Mr. Murtha to get these tenants removed from my property. He knows how to get the job done.

A shady debt collection law firm sued me but never served me the summons so they got a default judgment against me that I didnt know about until they tried to garnish my pay. James not only got the judgment thrown out he got the whole case dismissed. Price was very reasonable too. Great result. Thanks.
