G. Edward Murphy

Ed and his team have demonstrated that they are the dominate legal council in the Peoria area. Ed can be trusted to deliver and defend you for the most difficult cases. My ex wife filed a HIPPA case against my wife to gain access to medical records to ecploit my wife and restrict parenting time and... Ed worked closely with us to settle outside of court. Friday before the hearing my ex wife declined any settlement and the hearing was set for Monday. Eds team worked through the weekend and developed a solid case with legal precedence and solidly one the case protecting my wife's legal rights to protect her personal medical records. I fully trust Ed and his team and recommend his team even for the the most difficult cases.

Ed Murphy represented me in a Divorce case and recently in a Child Support case. He was extremely efficient, competent and knew exactly what approach to take to attain a positive outcome to these cases. He was very reasonable and would give constructive advice when he thought that I was being ... unrealistic about issues that I thought may be relevant. He will fight for you and is excellent at mediating differences between parties and in achieving solutions. He also listens very well and tries to enact a clients objectives. So I made sure to tell Ed how that I wanted to approach issues and he was excellent in advocating this for me. His staff is top notch and efficient. Unlike some other attorneys, you won't waste time on needless and costly commucation (e.g., lengthy emails, phone conversations, etc.) just to pad the attorney's pockets. He is very cost effective and conscientious about expenses that you may incur. In the courtroom, Ed is thorough, knowledgeable, and quick on his feet "so to speak." You know and the opposing attorney knows that he is going to advocate and fight for you. Ed is also very good in mediating agreements between parties with good outcomes. I couldn't have had better representation.

I hired Mr. Murphy for my divorce last year. The consultation was helpful, and I was given realistic expectations as to what to expect during the process. My divorce was quite straightforward, the ex and I had little in terms of assets to divide, and we had already reached a tentative agreement regar...ding the living arrangements for our son. Given the relative simplicity of the situation, the case was able to get resolved quickly and efficiently. I felt the fee's assessed in my case were accurate, and no billed time was wasted on the law office's end. Mr. Murphy was able to give good advice in terms of shaping the settlement to meet the original expectations, whilst providing me protections in the agreement I had not thought to consider. There was outside-the-box thinking used regarding the division of liabilities the ex and I had accrued that gave me a good result going forward in life. There were a few surprises from the other side of the case regarding custody as we neared the court date. Mr. Murphy and his associates were able to give me good advice to remain calm, and to provide other strategies in the event that adjustments would need to be made, so my time with with my son would be protected. Overall, I was pleased with the efficiency and efficacy of Mr. Murphy and his team. I got an adequate amount of time with my son in the parenting agreement, and I got the good result I was hoping for when the divorce had concluded. If I have any future legal needs regarding the situation, I will not hesitate to hire Mr. Murphy again.

I consider this office to be a true team who is ready to resolve matters as quickly and painlessly as possible. They get right to the heart of it, and are proactive instead of reactive. I wish I had hired them from the start, instead of having my time and money wasted year after year on frivolous l...aw suits and Motions to Reconsider. Huge thank you to their office!
