I wish Ms Murphy even more greater success….. truly a phenomenal attorney!

Best Attorney

We highly recommend Kathleen and her. paralegal Mary. They are both very experienced,knowledgeable,and most of all dedicated to the client. Kathleen always wants to be kept informed and always takes time to listen and give advice when needed. She is professional but very firm and to the point. Sh...e sets her goals and does her best to meet them so going to court will not be necessary. We are very grateful for everything she did for our son , She is THE BEST!!!

Excellent, no nonsense, to the point, results driven.

Prior to meeting Kathleen, I was represented by three attorneys with lackluster results in a 5 year, high conflict custody case. I wish I would have hired Kathleen from the start. She stepped in, resolved issues quickly without any nonsense and I truly believe that she has the best interest of m...yself and my children in mind. She is an excellent attorney and I wish I had met her 5 years ago when the initial custody issues began. As a current client of hers, I would recommend her without question. She truly is a caring, results driven attorney who cares about her clients and families.

Fantastic Attorney

Kathleen Murphy is an incredibly talented attorney. She is extremely detail-oriented, has a creative and strategic mind, is dynamic in the courtroom, and above all, treats her clients like partners. After many frustrating years of dealing with a co-parent that refuses to co-parent, I reached out to ...Kathleen. Kathleen took up my case in the middle of an extremely stressful time for my family, and within 24 hours, was preparing and filing motions to protect my children. Within just two weeks, she knew every detail of my case, and was able to successfully resolve a show cause that had been dragging on for months. The journey is not yet over, but I am looking forward to working with her in the future, and feel that I’ve made more progress in the last 4 weeks than I have in the last 4 years! I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a family law attorney!

Not just a lawyer, but a TRUE ADVOCATE!!!

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.
