Amazing!!

I am so thankful that I hired Kathleen to represent me. Yesterday I had an issue with the woman I am separated with and if it had not been for Kathleen being readily available I would have had a serious problem. She stayed on the phone with me throughout the entire issue and talked me through how to ...handle it. When I recommend someone or a business it is something I do not normally do so for me to take the time to write this speaks volumes of what my impression is of Kathleen. If you are in need of her type of assistance you would be doing yourself a disservice by not going with her!! Thank you again Kathleen because yesterday you were my hero!!!

A good professional serving the public

Integrity, that's the word that comes to mind when I think of Kathleen Murphy. Its also the one word, any client should desire from an attorney. Hopefully, the public learns that from this publication. Kathleen took my case short noticed and did the single most honest task I could ever ask from an a...ttorney with time or no time, ***Present my case with honesty and clarity***. That’s all I have ever wanted, Kathleen does it, she doesn’t try and make up some fabricated story or think she knows better than you, she listens to what’s happening, and stands for your rights. This attorney is a blessing to this world by standing to make the world better and not letting people's lives being ruined. Which everyone knows happens so easily today. I contacted many attorneys before Kathleen, and they all showed some serious concern for my case, even with my awareness that I had a strong case with evidence. Let me tell you, if you hear Kathleen Murphy say “We’ve got this”, then you can go take a short nap to feel safe, she doesn’t pretend to go through your case or just “look over” the details. She looks at the evidence herself not wasting the chance of an undergrad to make an undergrad mistake. I'm sure you all hear attorneys using well-trained staff who are authorized and certified to look at the evidence, but they don’t know jack squat to protect you. Kathleen uses her eyes, not someone else’s to do the work for her. Kathleen is your attorney, not the undergrad. Stop looking for other attorney’s, go to Kathleen Murphy, she is a great attorney protecting the public.

A Champion for Her Clients!

I hired Kathleen to represent me in my high-conflict separation, which was also a domestic violence situation. From the start, she was my advocate and helped me realize that I didn't have to go through this alone. She was responsive and helpful and worked hard to make sure my priorities were met. She... is knowledgeable and experienced, and I would recommend her highly to anyone who wants a lawyer that isn't afraid to get things done!

Awesome attorney!

It's hard to describe with words how helpful Kathleen has been helping me navigate everything during this difficult time. I no longer feel hopeless. Kathleen is extremely talented and continues to exceed my expectations.
