Kathleen Murphy

From my first encounter watching Kathleen in court, it was obvious that she truly cared about and fought for her clients. She offered (though she represented neither of us) to help my former spouse and I resolve an issue that had left us frustrated and gridlocked. Not only was I impressed with her n...o-nonsense, get-to-the-point approach and ability to quickly resolve a seemingly impossible situation, I was thoroughly touched by her offer of kindness. I was extremely dissatisfied with the attorney I had hired and asked if I could meet with her. After JUST ONE HOUR meeting with Kathleen, I felt: * I had a better understanding of the entire separation process * I found someone who understood what I was dealing with * Finally there was a lawyer who would advocate for ME * This was a woman who KNEW HER STUFF and would GET THINGS DONE. Kathleen was very frank with me and told me: if you don't feel like I have this, then you shouldn't hire me. Kathleen has handled the legal quagmire so that I could focus my energy and time on my children and job. Its not only been a game changer, it's been a life changer. My only regret is that I didn't know about Kathleen 3 years, 2 lawyers and $$$$$ ago.

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...nd of response, and she was often rude and unhelpful. I felt mislead by her, and she seemed less concerned about helping me than she did about getting her fee. Once it was paid, I was no longer a priority. I would not advise anyone to hire Kathleen to represent them during a divorce or custody case.

After wasting 7 months in a collaborative process, with a non-collaborative ex, I went to Kathleen. She is direct, to the point, and keeps her eyes on the goal. If Kathleen says it can be done, she will find a way to do it. What she won't do is waste your time or money telling you what you want to ...hear. Having said that, divorce is hard, and Kathleen knew exactly when to hold my hand, hug me or tell me I was being unrealistic. With her vast network of amazing professionals, my divorce was over, signed sealed and delivered less than 2 weeks from my date of separation, even after the 7 month delay. All my my ex's crazy ass requests were squashed. Kathleen keeps it real, which for some may not be a good fit. But if you want someone to handle your divorce like a business transaction, while supporting you behind doors with all the emotions, Kathleen is the only person to reach out to.

As most women, I was at the lowest and most terrifying point in my adult life. At the end of 28+ year marriage, I needed a competent, professional, and compassionate attorney to help me defend and protect my financial future. Kathleen is amazing. She listen to my concerns, she was interested in the... well being of me and my minor child and most importantly her fee structure helped me afford her services. She was always available via text, email, or phone. She communicated the complicated legal stuff to me in a manner that I understood and felt confident in her competence and ability to represent me in trial. She was a God send! I recommend Kathleen Murphy to anyone but especially women. She understands the fear and emotions associated with starting the next phase of your new and happier life. Thank you Kathleen

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 ...your money performing little to no work. Her only concern is money and not the best interests of her clients.
