About Kathleen
Biography
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.

Custody
I began using Kathleen Murphy late 2016 during a very turbulent crisis. She handled my case with great care keeping me updated along the way. She’s professional and extremely knowledgeable about the law and put me at great ease. I will hire Kathleen again if I need to.
