Attorney Murphy is incredible.

I had a very complicated criminal case which was tied to a divorce and custody case. I was accused of a serious false accusation which was a custody play. I didn't have squeaky clean background compared to my accuser so was in need of a serious and skilled expert in criminal cases, knowing my child...ren's lives were at stake as well. Over the course of 16 months, Attorney Murphy was incredible. Her patience and expertise in information gathering and collaboration with DCF expert, Kathy Bella was unequivocal. Attorney Murphy was able to rightfully get my case dismissed, which other attorneys might have given up, given my past. Her diligence was incredible. I had many opportunities to 'settle' for lesser charges but Attorney Murphy believed me and wanted what was best for me and my children. Caitlin, if you ever read your reviews, please know you saved us! My children are thriving now and are so glad you put everything in place for us to live our lives happily and fruitfully, I am the primary parent and am the proud mom of three really happy and successful in their own rights, children. I am not sure how much you know that your hard work changed my children's lives. This could have hurt the trajectory of my children if the court believed the accusations that you were able to so diligently lay out for the judge in the false accusations. In summary, I am writing this review to help others who might feel lost and not heard. Attorney Murphy will not stop thinking and solving . Her support was also incredibly and helped me to be level headed and not emotional while building the case. Caitlin, you are one of a kind and from the bottom of my heart, thank you for changing and resetting my life. I am forever appreciative.

Incredible Help

Received two misdemeanor summons for driving an unregistered vehicle in CT with plates that were not mine. Caitlin Murphy was incredibly helpful and efficient, and gave me the confidence that we could find a better outcome. With a little bit of effort (getting the car registered), the prosecutor drop...ped the charges.

A caring lawyer

Caitlin did an excellent job with my case. She held my hand through the entire process. She understood my alleged charges and her research was impeccable. She made me feel like a friend not just another client.

Client

Attorney Murphy was very professional in handling my case. She went out of her way to ensure that I understood every turn and did an excellent job of preparing me for court. Bottom line - the case was thrown out and I got my life back. Thank you Caitlin!

Spectacular

I unexpectedly found myself charged with disorderly conduct and had no idea how to proceed. Fortunately, a highly respected attorney in another area of practice, referred me to the Mark Sherman Law Firm. Attorney Murphy met me in court early the next morning and prepared me for arraignment and an ...interview with family services. She proactively walked me through each step along the way and skillfully influenced all of the other parties involved. I knew I was in good hands throughout and was delighted when the charge was dismissed during my second court visit. Thank you Caitlyn Murphy!
