An exceptional family lawyer for military servicemembers...truly an expert in the field!

When I think of Michael Kevin Murphy, words like TRUST; SUPERIOR KNOWLEDGE; MILITARY SERVICE; DEDICATION; CARING and SECOND-TO-NONE immediately come to my mind. Michael Murphy is, in my opinion, the best choice for anyone in need of a family law attorney in Northern Virginia. He is a man of unquestio...nable integrity and enjoys a sterling reputation in the courts and among his colleagues. During my initial consultation, Mike made me feel comfortable and listened to me. From that point, to the end of my divorce, I knew I had chosen the right attorney and the right law firm! Mike and his staff consistently offered sound advice and helped me through the difficult process with consistency and a sense of purpose. As a former Army officer, Ranger and combat veteran, Mike has a deep and profound understanding of the nuances of military life and the legal considerations attendant thereto. He and his team will be of immeasurable benefit to anyone in need of family law services, but military members will particularly benefit from his knowledge and experience. He is an expert in the law and he understands the needs of military service families. If you are seeking a trustworthy, knowledgeable, experienced and caring representative, I highly recommend Michael Murphy. You will receive "first-rate" services with outstanding results. One final note: in my time as a client of the Law Offices of Michael Kevin Murphy, not only did I obtain an exceptional attorney but I also gained a friend. I fully recommend and endorse Mr. Michael K. Murphy without reservation.

Great lawyer

"Mike Murphy represented me in a difficult overseas separation and child custody case. Given our geographical location we could not personally meet, but Mike and his team facilitated video conferences that made our meetings more personal and efficient. He devised a legal strategy that protected my ch...ildren and me. His advice was reasonable and fair. He is responsive to communications and a great listener. Mike is caring, honest, reliable, professional lawyer, and gets the job done."

Fairfax County Military Divorce

I was very satisfied with the legal services provided by Mike Murphy, and his very professional and compassionate team of Sarah Goding and Farina Williams. They skillfully guided me through my first divorce, providing exceptional legal advice which resulted in a fair and timely outcome that exceeded... my expectations. I strongly recommend Mike and his team for your military divorce in Fairfax County.

What can I say? I have custody of my 2 children as a male Military Service member. This would not have been possible if it wasn't for Mr. Murphy and his outstanding team! Not only did I obtain an exceptional lawyer but gained a family friend. I fully recommend and endorse Mr. Murphy. Thanks TEAM...!

Amazing service

Michael's office made the divorce process quick and painless. The entire staff was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Sometimes it seemed like I had the answer to my email before I even hit sent due to their immediate responses.
