Mary J. Murray

It's hard to describe what Mary has done for me, my son and my family. She gave me a lot of things throughout the whole process like knowledge and guidance but the most important thing was more time with my son. The thing I like most about her is that she's truly a good person with good intentions to...wards the outcome of the case and your child, which means a lot, she never sugar coated anything or was misleading like some attorneys can be. I can't imagine how it would have been like going through the whole process without her and Kami helping me. I would highly recommend Mary to anyone!

Mary is handling our custody case with professional expertise and expedience. She has made this frightening and stressful experience endurable. From the first meeting to date, she has been accessible by phone, text and email. She and her staff have been hardworking and thorough. Mary is compassiona...te, knowledgeable and straightforward. She develops a strategy and sets her plan in motion. She is encouraging throughout the process and explains clearly what to expect in each phase. Mary is a confident and committed lawyer and maintains a professional yet formidable presence in court. She is supportive and encouraging no matter how dirty and aggressive the opposing side becomes. As we move through this custody process, we are confident that Mary will see us through to a happy ending. She is a strong advocate for children and families. We would highly recommend her.

I came to Mary presenting a difficult child custody challenge and detailed to her specifically what I was hoping to accomplish. She was forthright about where I should set my expectations (as they were initially both too high and too low) and we began developing a sensible legal strategy. What I quic...kly discovered is that Mary is a hard-working (and sometimes overworked), thoughtful, honest family law attorney. There is no attitude or pretense. I always felt like I was getting straightforward counsel and not once did I feel as though I was a bother to her as she was incredibly responsive. Two particular areas of her practice deserve praise. She shines in her research, writing and preparation. I always had access to every document related to my case. She has honed her courtroom presence, never seeming flustered by grumpy judges or overzealous opposing counsel. I couldn't be more pleased with the partnership we created and the positive results of our efforts. Family law is a hard business, especially when there are children involved. My ex used an aggressive as well as manipulative move that left me numb. My first reaction was to get nasty back. And that is not a good place to be in with the parent of your child, and Mary was able to remind me of that. She pushed for collaboration, mediation, encouraged us to settle and not go to court, and continued to remind me to think about the big picture for our children. We did end up successfully mediating, but sadly ended up going to court numerous times after I thought everything had been resolved. I could not have had better representation. Mary remained utterly committed to me even after mediation. Due to numerous Rules to Show Cause, Mary kept my ex accountable. She was by my side at all times and I am absolutely confident she will be if I need her in the future. Mary is a smart, thoughtful, effective attorney who approaches law the way you would want your advocate to represent you. Above all, she is a person of integrity, who approaches things calmly, strategically and with a solid understanding of the law. She will counsel you, help you, empower you to make good decisions for yourself. Mary is the attorney for people who have a life and want to get on with it, rather than spending every last bit of energy fighting it out in the courts. Despite the tremendous task I presented her with, Mary orchestrated a victorious outcome. Through wisdom, good intuition, perseverance, and unparalleled dedication, she served as a smart counsel, a mentor, a coach, and a trustworthy ally. I am so grateful to her for representing me and advocating for my family so we could rebuild our lives and start a new life. Mary is a caring, trustworthy, knowledgeable, highly dedicated, approachable and yet an assertive attorney. She possesses qualities other attorneys do not; qualities that can make a tremendous and meaningful difference when going through difficult times.

I felt comfortable working with Mary from day one. In additional to legal expertise, she did everything in her power to emotionally guide me through a particular horrible custody case. While she was very compassionate, Mary took charge and always kept me focused in the right direction. I wisely foll...owed her expert advise. If someone were to find themselves in a similar situation, they could not ask for a better attorney than Mary Murray.
