Joseph Michael Murphy Jr.

I made the decision to switch lawyers half way through the divorce process after finding out proper procedures were never followed. This is when I hired Joseph Murphy. A court date for an early settlement was less than two weeks away, so I wasn’t sure if things could be changed at this point, but h...e was able to have that court date postponed, giving us time to go through all the necessary channels. In addition, I was fearful that I wasn’t going to receive alimony, since my husband, his lawyer and the two court assigned mediators felt I was skilled enough to support myself. I really feel that due to his expertise I’m getting a few years of alimony, which i very much needed. I also wouldn’t have gotten half of the 8 years of my ex’s pension. He knows his job and does it very well. I made the right decision.

After being blindsided with a Divorce from a 20 year marraige, where I was a housewife and Mother. A relative referred me to "Bud". After my consultation, I never looked back. He is very well versed in Family Law, Honest, empathetic and has Professional integrity. Bud is very knowledgable, easily a...ccessible and had my best interests at heart. He stood his ground when Alimony and Child support was discussed. And my divorce was finalized within 8 months. I highly recommend Joseph "Bud" Murphy if you are seeking a Matrimonial lawyer. You would be in very good, and very capable hands.

Mr. Murphy skillfully navigated my divorce making sure myself and 4 children would end up in the best possible position. He was so understanding and easy to talk to, he was not just an attorney but a friend. Divorce is never easy but "Bud " helped me through the process painlessly. I highly recomme...nd him.

Hired Joseph to handle my divorce after 5 years of separation from a marriage with two children. Excellent service and attention to detail. Made the entire process as easy as it could be in a situation involving custody and with some complex financial issues. Was always efficient, easy to reach, and ...communicated and advised on all the issues with total professionalism, utmost expertise, and a lot of heart. The entire team at Murphy & Cistaro were great. Highly recommend.
