Military Divorce Case Success!

A complicated divorce due to active service in the military, Attorney Murphy stepped in and took control of the process from start to finish. Numerous complications introduced from the divorcing party, third party interests, and the state were all handled with professionalism and detailed attention.... Maggie showed compassion to all parties involved, ensured my best interests were addressed every step of the way, and made a difficult process as streamlined and easy as it could have been. I would not hesitate to retain her for any family law issue I needed resolved, well done.

She made fast work of the opposition!

Ms. Murphy was extremely professional and took time to prepare for my hearing before hand. I was amazed at her skills in talking to the opposition in private. She lead the conversation and while her face and neck blushed she did not back down. She was able to maintain her composure when outlandish ...requests were made. (Ie that my fiancé not be allowed to shower for three days consecutively) She let me know from the onset the chances of the case ending in my favor. She came to court prepared to take on my accuser and did so leaving me to only speak about five words. She is very knowledgeable about the laws and was able to clearly explain the complex nature of the case in a way that was understandable. In the end the motion against me was dropped. I owe it all to Ms. Murphy and her quick words and clarity.

Attorney Murphy

Attorney Murphy work with me for my re-adjustment of my maintenance do to retiring. Not only did she give all the options but worked very hard assembling my very difficult case. She was able to come up with a proposal to the other attorney to avoid a lengthy court hearing. I would highly recommend he...r. Richard

Highly Recommended

From start to finish, Ms. Murphy was always on top of her responsibilities when representing me. I felt comfortable within minutes of meeting her. She kept me up-to-date on every issue that needed to be addressed. She was precise and detail-oriented. I am glad that I chose her to represent me. ...Without her and the Karp Law Firm, I'm not sure that the outcome would have turned out this well. If you're on the fence, trying to decide your representation, I urge you to consider Ms. Murphy.

Great Lawyer

Maggie was great. She was very easy to work with. Communicaiton was great and she was always prompt to respond if she wasn't immediately available. I was getting mixed information from attorneys on the other side so I was unsure what to expect or believe. Maggie was the reassuring piece in the en...tire equation. She was very knowledgeable and explains things in simple terms. If you asked her to do something she did it. She even went the extra mile and responded to a question I had at 10pm the night before we were set to go to court. Very impressed.
