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.

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.

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...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.

Kathleen saved me and my son

Kathleen is amazing. I can not express my gratitude enough to her for saving me from my volatile and extremely difficult ex husband. She looked out for me and my son's best interest. She truly cares about her clients and works hard. She believed in me and was able to give me and my son the outcome we... needed. She was there during my most emotional moments and encouraged me to fight. She was definitely in my corner and I have custody of my son and look forward to working with her for the entirety of my divorce and trust that I am in the best hands. She showed no fear in the face of my violent and manipulative ex, and stood up to him and did the right thing for my child. She is in the right occupation, she is truly gifted. I am so happy to have her in my life and at my side during this crazy time. I could not disagree more with the review that says she only cares about money and does little work and doesn't answer emails. She answered ever one of my emails in a timely manner even if it was late, my texts, my phone calls, and worked hard.

Works hards, is prepared

Im a nurse and wanted to be sure I had someone who I trusted, and knew their profession as I do mine. I found that in Kathleen. She has calmed me durning the storm, and helped beyond anything I could have imagined. I step out of the box, when she stepped in.
