Ben Murphy goes beyond the call of his job. He has represented our family several times. Our situation was by far abnormal. While there were times we started to lose faith, Ben never did. He always fights for what is right and what is deserved. He stands firm in his morals and belief in the justice system. He worked with us financially and mentally. If we ever find ourselves at the crossfire of another situation, we will no doubt continue to have Ben represent us.
Mr. Murphy is a great lawyer! He really fights hard for you. I wanted to be able to see my child and that's what he faught for. Ben Murphy is honest and answers any questions you may have, regardless of how silly the questions may be. He is just a lawyer that is truly on your side.

Speeding Ticked Dismissed!
Mr. Murphy is superb. He got my ''speeding in a school zone'' ticket dismissed. I went to court in October and the prosecutor offered me 2 days in jail, no fine to pay as an alternative. So, I plead not guilty and was given a trial date. I retained Mr. Murphy based on reviews on here and after speaking with him, I felt secure in him handling my case. I do not live in Mississippi, so I was not able to show up for trial date. He did his lawyer magic and got my ticket dismissed with only a $50 court fee! 10/10 do recommend!

Ben's consultation was nice polite and to the point. He explained and gave me different options to choose from. It was a process I wouldn't been able to litigate on my own. I would recommend his service's to friends and family.

High integrity, great listener, excellent representative
Mr. Murphy was everything I had hoped for in an attorney when it came to my divorce. He gave me honest opinion and feedback and never once made promises he couldn't keep. When I was at my wits end, Mr. Murphy remained calm and let me know he was fighting on my behalf. When all was said and done we came to a fair agreement that all parties could be satisfied with. I would recommend Ben to anyone who is looking for morally sound representation. No regrets for hiring Ben in my time of need.

Level Headed Advisor
When I found out I was getting divorced, I was a wreck...Ben was recommended by a friend. Ben was understanding and direct about my situation. As a project manager who had never worked with a lawyer on personal needs, "I needed to know certain things...", Ben helped me understand the path ahead and the pros and cons of my decisions as well as the likely financial impact. He has also assisted with the navigation of a few other post divorce activities. Although I did not always like what Ben had to say, I did appreciate his earnestness as he described the situation.

Phenomenal
I can not thank Mr. MURPHY enough. Myself and my family ended up into a very bad situation. He came highly recommended from a few individuals. With one call a meeting was set, our nightmare was not over but it came to an ease. Few weeks later court came to an end with our nightmare dismissed and got our lives back.
Thank you Ben Murphy
We will always be grateful for your help.

Review for Ben Murphy Defense Attorney
Ben Murphy did an exceptional job as my defense attorney!!! He put my mind at ease from the beginning of our first meeting.
He was also able to get both charges dropped as well as the arrest expunged from my record. He had the expertise I needed to get me through to the end. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND
We found Mr Murphy online while searching for a Mississippi Attorney that handled Family Law. I read all the reviews and about his credentials and he even had some personal information about himself (family life, Church, hobbies,etc.) and after looking into several other Attorneys, even had been given some referrals from friends, I just kept coming back to his listing. We called his office and had an appointment within a week. When we arrived at his office it was a very relaxing environment. Once we met him, we knew within the first few minutes of speaking with him that we had chosen the right Attorney. He was so easy to talk to and made us feel so comfortable. Not only did we feel comfortable but also very confident in him to represent us. He was very welcoming, very knowledgeable and showed true concern/feeling regarding our matter. He advised us as to how he would be handling it, what the cost would be, which we felt was very reasonable, and he did just what he said he would do, when he said he was going to do it and within a couple of weeks has handled our situation without any delays or further information from us. We were impressed when we left his office when we first met him and we are over the top happy with the outcome of the situation. It was exactly what we needed. We now have an Attorney for any needs going forward. We will be referring him to anyone we know who is need for an Attorney. We are very grateful for him. Grateful for how well he treated us and how well he handled everything just as he said he would. It couldn’t have been any better.

Honesty & Integrity
We were referred to Ben Murphy for a difficult custody case. From the beginning he laid out what to expect, was honest with facts even if they were not in our favor & worked tirelessly through a case that took a while to complete & helped us be victorious in the end. Our entire family is grateful for the time, integrity & work performed by Mr. Murphy.

Excellent DUI Attorney
Mr. Murphy, handled my case with extreme efficiency and knowledge of the local process. He was obviously really busy, but still responded to my inquiries and made the unfortunate incident that I had, something that was painless to deal with. I highly recommend him.

I beg to differ...
I just saw a review posted by "Keith". I beg to differ with his review. Mr. Murphy has always been the most professional person me and my family have ever dealt with. We have used him for a few different cases, and he was always successful in defending us. Thank you Mr. Murphy for your hard work and professionalism.
