Our firm motto is "Comfort and Clarity During Difficulty Times" as we believe our clients are in the midst of emotional burdens and should not have to worry about whether the attorney is handling their matters. I have been a practicing divorce attorney for over 35 years and have limited my practice soley to matters involving family law.
As a wife and mother of four children, I have experience as it relates to families and the dynamics therein.
We work with all types of families including same sex relationships and believe that families are best when the parents can work towards a mediated settlement of custodial issues.
As a trial attorney, I have represented both mothers and fathers regularly and I have experience working in the child support court and the domestic violence courtroom.

Didn't fire her, but only because I couldn't afford to hire anyone else
Kathleen started off the relationship by being kind and empathetic, and assured me she would fight for me and my children. In the end, I had to hash things out alone with my ex, because she basically gave up on getting him to agree to terms. I had to constantly call, text, and email to receive any ki...

Please Consider
Please read all reviews before you hire Kathleen. Consult other attorneys and do your research. Divorce is so difficult and it's important to have a strong advocate by your side! Kathleen does not return calls or emails and she's very difficult to communicate with. She is unprepared and often takes ...
I do not have any client that has communicated that my services have been terminated or that they are unsatisfied with my work. It would be nice if the person who posted this review had said these statements to be directly but in the internet age, sometimes a post can come from an opposing party who is not satisified with the outcome of their case.

DO NOT USE KATHLEEN MURPHY FOR YOUR FAMILY LAW CASE
Kathleen Murphy is the worst choice you could make for an attorney. I hired her, paid an unbelievable sum of money and have absolutely nothing, and I mean nothing, to show for it. She is lazy, unfocused and disorganized. When you meet with her she portrays herself as a put together, highly experie...
I do not know who made this comment but I have not had any clients leave my firm in the past two years and hire other counsel. Anytime a client comes to us with a concern, we try to address the concerns and although we will not make everyone happy, we do try hard to work with all our clients for the goal of client satisfaction. In all honesty, there are clients who have not been satisfied with our services and yet, in the 26 years I have been practicing, I am happy to say that I continue to receive referrals to my office from prior clients on a regular basis.

Review
I filed for custody 2 weeks ago and I have a set date for orientation September 3, 2014. My daughters father went to Kathleen Murphys office today and she decided to send me a letter about their discussion. The email was rude and unprofessional adn simply not her place since she told me via email and...
I have never worked with this person nor do I agree with the facts she has alleged. Divorce is a very emotional process and to review my services based on a phone call is sometimes expected when an individual does not like what she is hearing. A rating based on a person who has never worked with our firm is not representative of our standards of care towards our clients. I have been in practice for 26 years and my practice has been entirely focused on family law matters. I have seen many situations where one party is withholding custody for money and when the law is made clear that custody and child support are not to be dependent on the other, the reaction is often anger.
"I've never seen Kathleen back down when fighting for a client who needed a strong advocate. She is not afraid to tell it like it is, which is often helpful when assisting clients through a tough divorce."
