I did this four different times and NEVER got a response back. Makes me wonder just how much attention I would receive being one of his clients if he does not bother to review his e-mails! At and rate because of lacke of response I used Michael Zimmerman who responded the next day, set an appointment and set up my trust and necessary documents in short order. If these people set up a web contact page but don't bother to monitor or use it do you really think they will give you the attention you deserve? I think not! If he cant be professional on the web why would you expect him to be any better in person?

Attorney Josh Martin is a nice guy. However, I found that he wasn't a very good listener. His lack…read moreof concentration, focus, and listening skills severed my ability to achieve justice for my children and myself in my divorce case. I would see a "deer in the headlights" glazed eyes blank stare while I was conveying specifics of my case followed by legal advice that corroborated that he either didn't hear or misunderstood many of the specifics of what I was telling him. Mr Martin would go a week or more at a time without responding to questions that I asked over email. At one point, I asked Mr Martin in-person in his office why he didn't respond to my emails, he smirked and joked that he liked my "long emails, because they give me a lot of content to use for calculating billable hours." But, somehow, he seemed unaware of the details in the content when giving me legal advice, which was more troublesome than his glee in being able to rack up billable hours. I'm happy to pay someone handsome fees for fine work. That's when I realized I needed to look for a new attorney, which I did. But a lot of irreparable damage had already been done to my divorce and child custody case due to lack of attention, focus, and poor counsel received in the earliest days of my divorce case. My divorce case was complex. Your experience may vary. Edit: I later learned that Joshua Martin's paralegal is a former attorney from Cincinnati, Ohio who moved to the central coast of California after dishonorably losing his attorney's license in Ohio, per widely available court documents from Ohio Supreme Court. I don't want to shed light into that on here more than necessary to help other other parents make better informed decisions when assessing the family law attorneys available for hire in SLO County. Please read Ohio Supreme Court's documents by searching 'Michael Elliott Finucane divorce attorney and misconduct per Ohio Supreme Court' for more information on Joshua Martin's paralegal who was formerly an attorney. Specifically, Ohio Supreme Court states that "misconduct that resulted in this acceptance of respondent's [Michael Elliott Finucane] resignation [from the Ohio State Bar Association] with discipline pending". Mr Joshua Martin is a smart fellow. He hired a dishonored former attorney to be his paralegal. I believe I should have been made aware of the legal troubles of Mr Joshua Martin's paralegal while in my initial consultation.

Consider yourself lucky if you have Jim Murphy and John Barron representing you. They fight with…read moreheart, tenacity and expertise. After our father was murdered, they decided to take our case on because of the unjust that could have been avoided. They approached this case as if it were their own father that was taken. And so did their staff. So compassionate for such a delicate and painful situation. Thankfully this case settled out of court so that we didn't have to relive such a horrible situation. But if we would have had to go to court, they had their gloves on! Thank you so much for representing our family John and Jim.

My son was involved in an accident where he had a skull fracture. He was transported to a specialty…read morehospital for children and was in intensive care for a week. We didn't know what to do.... Then a friend told us we need to call Jim Murphy. I was hesitant at first because I have never been one to contact an attorney for any personal issues that may involve suing someone. I left a message for Jim and he called me back personally. He was more concerned about the well being of my son then any legal action. We stayed in contact until my son was out of the hospital and I was sure that I needed to protect and fight for my boy's future. It was the best thing I could have ever done. I had no idea the worry and pressure that would come for the opposition. But Jim Murphy is one of, if not the MOST experienced and respected attorneys on the central coast. In addition, his staff was comforting and professional every single time we called or visited. Talk about a group that is on their game! Jim connected with my son and our family over the course of two years while our case took its course through the legal process. He took a vested interest in our son and his future. He was emotional at times in defending his name. At the end of the day, we never had to go to trial. Jim negotiated a settlement for my son so that he will have financial support throughout his life. I wasn't anticipating the outcome of the process, but we couldn't be more happy. I pray people do not find themselves in the situation we were in with a son or daughter in a life threatening event that may alter how they go through life. But if you do, you want Jim Murphy and his amazing, talented office staff and their support on your side. I recommend Jim Murphy without reservation. Cheers!
