Joseph Michael Murphy Jr.

I hired Mr. Murphy for my Divorce Settlement. While the situation was frightening and very sad having been married 21 years, my experience with my attorney was very positive. I found Mr. Murphy very knowledgeable of NJ Divorce law, sympathetic to my situation and responsive to my needs. My case in...cluded Child custody and a divorce settlement in which my husband earned well over six figures and after originally being a professional in the work force had later become a stay at home mother for our children for a little over 10 years. Mr. Murphy was able to help me achieve a settlement in a relatively short period of time and at a reasonable fee under fairly difficult circumstances. It has been my experience that many people do not particularly like their divorce attorneys, however, my experience was a positive one and I would recommend Mr. Murphy to a friend or peer without hesitation.

Joe "Bud" Murphy is a calm, thoughtful and thorough lawyer that took a very complex marriage and helped streamline the phases of divorce, and helped me navigate through the bureaucracy of the NJ legal system. Bud has an attentive team that answers the phone and gives messages timely. Expectatio...ns were clear and when hiccups arose, Bud revisited options and pros / cons for results vs. costs. Divorce is a sad and confusing time - I wanted someone who knew what he was doing and could guide me - to a fair and equitable settlement. 2017 is a fresh start - after 29 years of marriage - but I'm steady and organized, due to Bud's assistance and support. He does not allow drama, is pragmatic about choices - and is emphatic throughout the entire experience. A professional - and a "what you see is what you get" style - which I appreciated - and valued. I interviewed 8 lawyers before I made my decision - and am confident Bud was the right (and best) choice for me and my situation.

Joseph (Bud) Murphy came highly recommended, and exceeded all my expectations. He is not only a very knowledgeable attorney, but someone who you feel is truly on your side. Bud explains things in simple to understand language, and always makes himself available to discuss any issues or questions you... may have. When problems arise, his experience and expertise will get you over these hurdles. If you are ever unfortunate enough to have to go through a divorce, he is someone you want on your side. I would highly recommend Bud, and want to thank him again for all his help.
