Long Island, New York Consumer Protection Law Firm

About the Murtha Law Group, LLC

New York Attorneys Focused on Protecting Consumers from Abusive Companies and Debt Collectors

In more than a decade of practicing law, we have earned a reputation as tough and tireless advocates with a passion for helping regular people fight for compensation they deserve. We stand up to auto dealers, insurance companies, debt collection agencies, robocallers, and other big businesses. Our clients are family-oriented, hard-working people who cannot fight the system on their own, so they turn to us for my compassion and determination to advocate on their behalf. We offer them cutting edge, 21st Century consumer legal representation – with zero hassle, zero anxiety, and often zero out-of-pocket cost for clients. We communicate with clients via texts, skype, phone, online, and of course in person. We ask questions, we listen, and then we deliver options so that our clients can decide what’s best for them.

Defrauded by a Business? We don’t get paid unless we win.

Certain federal and state laws – like those protecting consumers from unfair business acts & practices, debt harassment, robocalls, and defective cars – are rarely enforced by the government. Instead, the law encourages attorneys like us to represent consumers by forcing companies that break the law to pay your attorney’s fees. We’re either paid by the companies that have violated your rights, or by a percentage of the cash settlement that we negotiate. That means many of our clients never pay a dime out of pocket.

So, for example, if a court finds that a debt collector violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) by harassing you, the debt collection agency pays you a settlement, and they also pay your attorney’s fees. The result is that our work enables our clients to assert their rights cheaply, quickly, and easily. We believe that’s how the law should function. Consumers shouldn’t have to pay to enforce their rights. The law-breaking businesses should be forced to pay for their mistakes.

Debt Collection Defense? We Cap Fees.

For consumers who are being sued for a debt, unfortunately there’s no mechanism in the law to provide you with a free legal defense. Defending a lawsuit requires a lot of work, and the traditional lawyer hourly-billing method makes most lawyers unaffordable for consumers trying to defend themselves from debt collection lawsuits. This is where we’ve decided to break from tradition. Under our philosophy that affordable legal representation should be available to everyone, we limit our attorney’s fees to one low fixed amount for debt defense matters.
