Happy with my OUTCOME
I reached out too Attorney Angel Murphy’s office for a DUI. Her office made it easy for me too get threw the struggle of getting my life back on track. Their communication threw every step of the process made me feel confident they were working diligently on the case and not missing any detail that could be helpful in getting my case dismissed. In the end I was very pleased with the outcome of my case. The office consists of young professionals who understand the new way of how business is run. Good people who do good business, which is rare these days. I highly recommend them for anyone in need of a law firm that’s going work hard in your best interests. Thanks again the all the staff at the Murphy Firm.

Child Modification/Child Support
Mrs. Murphy was able to modify my custody order to where I gained more days with my children during the year and added additional weeks to my summer with my children and added holidays as well. Her professionalism and knowledge also resulted in me lowering my child support. As a father it is very difficult to sway the court in your favor but as long as you have the Murphy team on your side they will answer your every need and make the process for you much easier. I recommend the Murphy team 1000% if you’re in need of representation. Thank you Angel!

Handled With Care
Attorney Murphy and her staff handled my divorce case. She was very helpful towards me from the very beginning. She was always available to answer whatever questions that I had no matter how big or small. I was grateful for her insight and constant professionalism. She was was always prepared and had prior knowledge of each judge we interacted with. Even while opposing counsel came off as unprofessional moreover, unprepared, she remained poised and professional. I appreciated her reassurance on matters when I was overwhelmed. I would use her services again. I have also recommended her for those who are in need of a good family lawyer.

Winner!
Angel was awesome and worked diligently on my case. She gave great advice and fought hard in court for what was best for me and my child. She and her team responded very quickly to my questions via email and phone. I appreciate that she was upfront in stating she could not promise me an outcome at the end of my custody case and that she helped me understand the pro/cons of each legal option I had before me. If I need help again in the future, I will certainly reach out to Angel and her law firm.

Very helpful
Though my case needed to be filed in another state, Ms. Murphy still provided assistance that I was able to apply in my case. If I have another civil matter in Maryland, I will definitely call Ms. Murphy.

Excellent representation
Attorney Murphy was prepared and knowledgeable of the law and court proceedings. And personally as someone who felt like I couldn't have stood up against my hateful ex without representation, she was a fierce advocate on my behalf.

Accountant
I sought the advise of counsel via leaving a voicemail and was very elated by her prompt response and follow up. In addition to being prompt, her voice inflection and interest in answering my questions not only indicated that she cared about my case. I got a clear message that she cares about people!! I hope I don’t ever have to use her services as a model citizen but if I do she will be the Attorney I will be calling to represent me. Thank you very much Atty Murphy Mike

Amazing
After making initial contact with Attorney Murphey and informing her of my charges, she immediately provided me with the reassurance that I had nothing to worry about. She did her due diligence prior to stepping in the courtroom to assure victory. I was kept up to date throughout the process via her interactive mycase portal and direct contact. I am very proud and thankful for Attorney Murphey and her efforts. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal help.

Very Thorough
I appreciate the effort that Attorney Murphy put into my case. She was able to gather all of the facts, file with the court system, and prep me for court. I felt really comfortable and confident walking into the courtroom. Needless to say, we won the case hands down and I am a happy customer! Oh, I am a repeat customer too. Thank you, Attorney Murphy!

Domestic Case
Ms. Murphy is the epitome of kind, patient and caring. From the very beginning of the process (consultation) to the very end, Ms. Murphy was patient and explained the entire process. She answered all of my questions and made recommendations. Ms. Murphy made sure that she informed me before she did anything and made sure that I was completely comfortable. Ms. Murphy was always available when I needed her either by phone or email. I never felt out of the loop. She always handled herself professionally and was very knowledgeable about my case. I would definitely hire Ms. Murphy for any case that I have and I would recommend her for anyone who needs an attorney.

Angel was amazing. The insurance company try to low ball me on a settlement but Angel got me 4 times the amount that they was offering. Thanks to her hard work and dedication. I am really glad that I had Ms Murphy to represent me.
