BRENDA MURPHY IS AN AMAZING ATTORNEY!

In a word, amazing! Brenda is personable, responsive, intuitive, knowledgeable and caring. I would recommend Brenda to anyone who needed representation in the family court system. Brenda has been with me every step of the way! I could not have done it without her and can’t say enough AMAZING things ...about her!

Knowledable, Helpful, Friendly, Easy to Work With

I hired Brenda to assist with my divorce (not represent, but prepare paperwork, give advice, etc) as my case was uncomplicated and amicable and I was on an extremely tight budget. She went above and beyond my expectations throughout the entire process. She answered my questions promptly (returning em...ails same/next day), gave me good, specific advice, and made sure I knew exactly what to do when I filed my papers/went to court/etc (as someone having no prior experience with court cases, lawyers, or divorce, this was invaluable to me!) As my court date approached and some problems with Friend of the Court surfaced, she sprang into action to help me revise my paperwork and file an additional motion, even driving down to meet me at the court to hand me the papers to file so I wouldn't have to make an extra trip to her office. I had held off on divorcing as I was intimidated by the legal process, and Brenda really helped put me at ease. Everything went extremely smoothly; in fact the court clerk complimented me on my court date, saying she had never seen a person representing themselves show up so organized and with all their papers in order perfectly. Of course, I have Brenda to thank for that!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
