Joseph Michael Murphy Jr.

Honestly you are better off throwing your money away than hiring this poor excuse for an attorney. He never even bothered to open any paperwork regarding our case until the day of. He proceeded to be argumentative and blamed me for not giving him all the info!! I couldn’t believe it. If he had opened... up the file for even a second maybe we would have been prepared. I honestly ended up worse after hiring him than after. He had no problem taking my money in the beginning. After we lost horribly he then said we would much more money and time and it we would come back and refile. Yea right! I would rather hire a bum off the street to represent me. I should have known when they referred to him as “Bud”. No one in the court took him seriously and the nickname alone told me he was better suited as a dive bar attendant. DON’T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID.

I switch to Joseph(Bud) from another lawyer and can’t be happier. My divorce was very complicated and difficult but Bud walked me through it step by step. He is a calming influence and you need that while going through the divorce process. His prices are very reasonable and his expertise second to no...ne. I would strongly recommend him if you are going through a divorce.

I am a recent client of Bud Murphy and thankful that he handled my divorce case. He has extensive experience and knowledge about divorce law in NJ. He negotiated a fair settlement in a firm and diplomatic manner. He also managed to keep the process moving which minimized the time to complete the proc...ess. My divorce was settled out of court in approximately 9 months. Even though he has many clients, he was always prompt in responding to any inquiries. Bud has a fine sense of humor which was appreciated during some very stressful situations. I would recommend Bud to anyone who needs a divorce attorney.

After a bad experience with a different law firm Joe was highly recommend from a close friend. Joe took my case and started working on it immediately and brought my case to a close. It took Joe 1 month to do what the other firm couldn't do in 11 months. His cost was more then far and with Joe, after ...a week with of representing me I felt as Joe was a friend of mine for years. I would highly commend him to everyone. Thanks Joe! (Bud)

Bud Murphy did an exceptional job outlining my options and potential paths forward. He gave me multiple options at varying costs and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. His advice was always spot on and I felt comfortable every step of the way. Bud helped me through a very difficult ti...me with the utmost professionalism. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing divorce services. I truly hope I never am in a situation where I need him again but if I do, I’ll call him first!
