For nearly 30 years, my career continues to focus on helping families going through transitions. I have advanced training from attending top notch seminars with the best presenters from all over the United States, Ireland, and Australia. In addition to years of training, I have years of experience serving as guardian ad litem, attorney for parent(s)/guardians, arbitrator, mediator, litigator and parent cordinator. I also spent years presiding over family law matters (custody, divorce, legal separation, paternity, support, etc.) as the Family Court Commissioner in two counties.
It is my passion to help families get through what can be extremely emotionally taxing cases, in ways that focus on children, and help reduce the trauma they experience as their family environment shifts. As a former Mathlete, (yep, I was on my high school math team), I welcome the challenge of working through the financial matters involved in divorces/legal separations, including: business interests, gifts, inheritance, prenuptial agreements, and determining the proper income for self or under employed parties to achieve fair support (child and spousal) orders. A strategy is created with each client, with an eye toward the end result that best suits my client's needs. When I am not at work, I am with my husband, two daughters, pets, at the lake, or training for my next triathlon (having already completed an ironman)!

Professional, Knowledgeable, Experienced and Proactive in Family, Divorce and seperation , Child Custody
Ginger L. Murray helped us to adopt our two oldest adult grandchildren and get legal custody of our minor Grandson. Her knowledge of the law and court system as well as her ability to work with other attorneys was invaluable. We chose her because we had dealt with her before in regards to Family la...
Thank you for trusting me with all your family law matters. Adoptions are the best, as we get to use our efforts to create a family! Thankfully both parents were in agreement as that always makes things better for the kids!

Highly knowledgeable in high conflict divorce
Ginger has been a game changer for me and my kids. She is knowledgeable about the process, listens intently to the goals you have for your case, and is very balanced in her approach to get the best outcome. When in a long initial divorce proceeding, or when in a high conflict divorce where court co...
Thank you Jen. It has been my privilege to help you in your high conflict family law matter. Also, thank you for being understanding when other clients' cases have caused me not to be immediately available. My team continues to work on making sure that someone will be available to take and respond to your calls/questions/concerns.

Divorce Attorney
Divorce is hard at any age. But for me I was 66, married 43 years and used to relying on my ex-husband for my future financial planning. Ginger and her team listened to me, sorted through my mess and dealt with my ex husband's difficult attorney. She directed me to other professionals when I needed m...
Thank you for the kind words Becky. It was truly our honor to help you through this difficult stage in your life. I wish you well in your retirement and with those new grand babies!

We ended up having to hire someone else...
We hired Ginger to take care of our case and over the course of several months I never had any idea what she was doing for us. She had pawned our case off onto a colleague because she was busy but things still weren’t being done efficiently. Everything was typed wrong and we were paying over $300 an ...
I am saddened and confused to read that someone thought that I was not available for his/her/their case. In an effort to keep costs down for clients, an associate is often called up to help with initial drafting, compiling exhibits, and providing updates, as the associate charges 50% of my hourly rate. I never "hand off" a client to another lawyer for hearings or substantive matters, without a client's permission. I am sorry that you felt left out of the loop as I wholeheartedly agree that custody and placement of children deserves the utmost attention.
"I recommend Ginger Murray because of her knowledge, experience and fortitude, all of which serve her clients well. She is respected by judges and fellow lawyers alike. She advocates strongly on behalf of her clients."
"I endorse Ginger for family law issues. I have worked with Ginger on some very difficult cases, on both the same and opposing sides of tough issues. She is a skilled advocate, and cares about her clients."
"Ginger has always been a passionate an effective advocate. She is respected in the legal community."
"Attorney Murray combines that rare collection of competency, caring and innovation which makes her a 'first choice' attorney in family law matters."
