Excellent Attorney

Kieran was my attorney in a child custody case. This was the scariest, most stressful time of my life. Kieran’s calm and comforting demeanor put me at ease throughout the entire process. He was so easy to talk to and work with. He always responded to my calls/messages/emails in a very timely man...ner. I live out of the area but he was always able to accommodate me. His attention to detail and knowledge of all the details of my case were outstanding. I never had to remind him about anything. Where he really shines was in the courtroom. He was professional, thorough, beyond prepared and ready for anything thrown our way. The results were better than I had hoped or expected. I have Kieran to thank for this and will never forget him or what he has done for my family.

Beyond helpful

Kieran Murphy was more than a attorney, through the time I Acquired him as my attorney until the end he was always there day or night anytime he could answer a email or phone call he was there. Kieran made sure to keep me level headed and positive through the battle to get time with my son. To this d...ay and for many years to come I have Kerian to thank for helping me get the time I have with my son. I came into the office looking for a attorney and once the case was done and all I feel like I left with a friend I could always turn to for advise. Kieran always has everyone’s best interest at heart but no matter what he knows at the end of the day he’s there for you and your family. Couldn’t imagine going with anyone but Kieran and his team.

Excellent Attorney! Skillful, Thorough, Professional!

Kieran is an excellent attorney. He represented me in a child support hearing. I was very impressed with his professionalism and work ethic. He worked very hard on my case and he constantly kept me updated from the moment I signed the retainer agreement until the hearing. I really liked his atten...tion to detail and how focused he was on my case. His preparation for trial was so thorough that I felt confident and relaxed going into the courtroom. During the hearing, it was evident that Kieran is very skilled in the courtroom. He presented our case in an assertive, and yet controlled, manner. The judge was impressed with Kieran. Because of Kieran's persistent and pinpoint questions, my ex was surprised and caught off guard. And the outcome was amazing. She ended up AGREEING to an outcome that was extremely favorable to me. It was an outcome that far exceeded my expectations!

OUTSTANDING REPRESENTATION!!

After going through numerous attorneys over the past decade...and spending thousands of $$ with a 0% ROI, I finally found perfection. LITERALLY. Kieran showed me something different from the start – he followed-up promptly, took the time to understand my case and the plethora of details involved, tho...roughly explained my options and the pros/cons of each, and showed a genuine interest in taking actions that would serve in my best interest. Furthermore, Kieran is extremely professional - his work ethic is superior, he dresses the part, and he's always on time. He's so knowledgeable in his field and makes such an impression in the courtroom, that he was asked by an observer to train law students when my hearing concluded. I could say so much more, but my post should be brief. In summary, my case is finally closed and I’m more than satisfied with the results. After years of frustration dealing with other lawyers, I’m so glad to have found him.

Child Custody Hero

Kieran got me through a complicated and messy child custody case. He is knowledgeable and professional. He explained every twist and turn that was involved in my getting custody despite the fact that I am neither mother nor father of the children. Kieran is a great lawyer that I highly recommend.
