Murtaugh Law - Lafayette, Indiana

Jolene Burner

I called this firm with concerns about my father’s (Jeff Beck’s) estate.

The phone staff were professional and did everything that was reasonably within their power to try to connect me to their lawyer several times via phone and email.

The staff said he was available when I first called, so they patched me through to him, but he didn’t pick up.

Assuming he was preoccupied with something in his office, I asked to schedule a consultation with the lawyer. I was told I could not schedule one because he keeps a close hold on his schedule and does not give his staff access to his schedule. This is a bit odd. There were several previous times in my life that I utilized a lawyer to construct initial paperwork for business and real estate transactions as well as my own estate, and I’ve certainly never had such an odd experience for a pretty simple task like getting scheduled for a consultation.

So the staff told me to just call back throughout the day or give my email. I asked if there was a good time to call back and they said they could not give me one because they didn’t have access to the lawyer’s schedule (fair response to the situation they were given). So I gave my email and called back 2 more times. With the exception of one time, they said he was available, they patched me through, and he didn’t pick up. I also confirmed they had the correct phone number and email address. Both were confirmed correctly. Both staff I talked to had exceptional continuity between one another and had good understanding of my request and contact information, so again, the staff were very professional.

After what was now the 3rd answered call, at this point I told the staff I was putting the ball in the Lawyer’s court to call me or email me back as this was becoming a waste of my time.

My experience was a surprise, given the high rating of this firm (based on stars), which is the only reason I stuck with those calls. Looking back through the text other Google reviews in greater detail, it does seem the communication issue is a trend.

Strongly recommend! Lawyers who provide legal representation are a dime a dozen. Lawyers who provide excellent legal advice, tailored to your needs, are rare. Reid is one of those rare legal professionals who provides excellent legal advice to his clients. Estate planning isn’t a fun topic. No one likes to think about that... but Reid and his staff made the process smooth and comfortable. I’ve also started to shift my corporate/business affairs away from one of the bigger Lafayette firms and over to Murtaugh Law. I hope he doesn’t change professions, because I don’t want to look for another law firm!

I used Reid Murtaugh, at Murtaugh Law, to create a Trust for me. I had put this off fearing that it would not be an easy process. Reid took me step by step making this a smooth and easy accomplishment. He was thorough in explaining every step, extremely knowledgeable of the law, easy to work with, very organized and his fees are definitely competitive. I would highly recommend reaching out to him if you are considering doing a Will/Trust. It was a great experience and I now have peace of mind that my family’s future is taken care of.

Reid helped my husband and me update all our Will, trust, POA, etc after moving to Lafayette from another state. He was thorough and professional. We met several times, did our homework and then he finalized the documents. We were able to define beneficiaries and state all our wishes to follow when our estate matures. We also clarified agreements with 2 universities where the bulk of our estate will be given. What a great sense of relief to have all these documents in place, both physically as well as in the cloud.

I had to update my Living Trust. A little slow in the initial responses, once Murtaugh Law got going on it, the process and editing interactions went smoothly and efficiently. They were pleasant to deal with in person. Parking in the back is tight and a little tricky where to turn off Kossuth street.

Reid has not only helped me establish an LLC for my health coaching business, he also guided my husband and I through the entire process of our estate plan. Reid has helped us put a plan in place for our family that brings us peace of mind and security for our kids.
