Satisfied Customer

Mysti Murphy's office did a great job handling my custody case. They made sure I understood every last detail of what is to be expected from start to finished. Everyone in her office played a positive role in my situation. The phone calls, emails, and appointments were set up and answered promptly..., the paralegal was quick to research my situation and help me understand a lot of the legal jargon, my lawyer did a great job of preparing the case and presenting it to the court, and Mysti gave very critical input to help everyone succeed. This is just the professional side of all of them. They were also very attentive to my emotional stress and uncertainties. They didn't sugar coat much for me, which in turned helped me make educated decisions and prepare me for all possible outcomes. I appreciate everything they did for me, they way they handled everything, and would highly recommended Mysti Murphy's Law Office to anyone who needs a family attorney.

Represented us in a child custody situation

Ms. Murphy represented us, as grandparents, in a child custody situation so that we could establish ourselves as primary conservators of our grandson. She knew exactly what to do and how to do it after hearing the details of our situation. She was informative, precise, and professional in every way. ...There was never any doubt about where we were in the process, what we should expect, and what the potential outcome might be. Our case was resolved to our complete satisfaction. On top of all that, she and her staff were really nice people to deal with! If that wasn't enough, we actually got some of our retainer back! So, you can add honesty to the list of positive attributes.

Great Lawyer!!

Mysti and her entire team are professional, competent, detailed and most importantly...they look out for your best interests. She represented me in a divorce case and was able to get a fair settlement for both my daughter & I while avoiding a more expensive trial. I highly recommend their firm.
