Joseph Michael Murphy Jr.

I live in VA and my ex wife lived in NJ. She decided to pull me into court up in NJ out of the blue. When I was looking for a lawyer to help me out, every firm I talked to was about the money. When I called Bud, he listen to everything I had to say and what I wanted. He spent HOURS on my case and ...fought very hard for me. He did not nickel and dime me, like all the other firms would have. His hard work and dedication to my case allowed me to get an increase in visitation, and lowered my child support. He made me feel like I was family and not just a client. I can't thank him enough for everything he did. Even after the court case was said and done, he reached out to me a few weeks later to see how me and my daughter was doing...I mean what other lawyer would do that?? I HIGHLY recommend him.

Bud was recommended to me by a family friend. He is incredibly fair, honest and reasonably priced. He is also incredibly knowledgeable and made me feel at ease during a very difficult process. He not only knows the law but was able to give me great advice on how to handle difficult situations outsi...de of the law. He also helped expedite my divorce in an extremely timely fashion (in about 6 months). He definitely made the process less stressful and expressed compassion through it all.

Going through a divorce is an extrememly hard experience. Having the right person represent you makes all the difference in the world! From knowing that the legal advice you are receiving is coming from someone who is fully knowledgeable in the many facets of family law, to as importantly, knowing ...that person can be trusted! I was fortunate enough to have both in Joseph " Bud" Murphy. Bud is a consumate professional, while also lending the supportive shoulder that was very much needed at such a difficult period in my life. I always knew that no matter the time of day, I could always depend on Bud! He was never to busy to answer my emails, to take the time to explain the process of what needed to be done, and ALWAYS worked for my best interest! He brought a humanity to the table, always showing caring and respect in the most difficult stages of a long and treacherous divorce! As an attorney he is top notch, but to surpass that as a human being would be difficult! Yet Bud does that with ease! Rarely, do you hear people say that their divorce attorney is their friend, but because Bud cares about his clients, and their children as people, he goes out of his way to show compassion, as well as ,provide the best legal represetation available! There are not enough positive allolades that I could bestory upon Bud! He truly is a master at "putting his client's first", which can be a rare commodity in any spectrum of business today. He made sure that I was protected, and fought for me to have the most postive outcome in a very contentious divorce. Bud's degree of professionalism is unsurpassed and he is truly there for his client every step of the way! No attorney could be more committed to his clients welfare! If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of needing a family law attorney, I would highly recommend Joseph "Bud" Murphy. He is the best of the best! I will be forever grateful for his kindness, knowledge, professionalism, and continued diligence on my behalf!
