Although I have heard good things about Mary Murray herself, I have had the very unfortunate experience of recently dealing with her associate attorney Keely Carter. Keely attempts to overcompensate for her inexperience with a Napoleonic approach to her perceived authority. The insecurity she demonst...

After having had my child custody and visitation case neglected by another attorney for over a year, I contacted Mary Murray. By the time I contacted Mary, I had been so beaten up and bullied by the opposing side that I had NO faith in attorneys or the legal system, at all. I was scared to death an...
"Mary and I have been involved in several cases throughout the years, and no matter how hotly contested, she has always been prepared and remained civil and articulate. She is a worthy adversary, and while we have had our share of difficult cases, I have always felt comfortable meeting to discuss issues in a case with her. Her consummate professionalism and skill have allowed us to resolve the case for both clients' best interests. She is a strong advocate for her clients, who is also well respected by her fellow lawyers."
"I've worked on opposite sides with Mary and also had her mediate difficult cases with complicated issues and she did a great job. Highly respected and a good lawyer."
"Mary is a wonderful colleague and well-respected and experienced attorney. I wholeheartedly endorse her."
"Mary is an exceptional Family Court lawyer and mediator. I have no hesitations in recommending Mary if you're in need of assistance in any type of domestic relations issue."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Mary Murray both as opposing counsel in a divorce case and also in another case, where she served as mediator. Mary was instrumental in resolving the issues as our mediator in our family law case. I would not hesitate recommending Mary to anybody who needed a family law attorney or a family law mediator."
"Mary Murray is a wonderful attorney and advocate. She is also a great mediator. When a person is represented by Ms. Murray, I know that if the case can be resolved without litigation, it will be, because she is exceptional at looking at the "big picture" and this affords her clients substantial savings and heartache. I also know that should the action be litigated, Ms. Murray will be a zealous advocate in the courtroom, prepared, and professional. She is one of the best in Charleston and the surrounding Lowcountry!"
"Mary is an experienced litigator in our family courts, but she is also willing to compromise when it is in her client's best interests. She is well respected both personally and professionally in our community."
