Reverse the Inequitable

Misty was referred to me by a good friend. I spent much time on-line researching her and others, (neglecting to do so with the first lawyer I hired), and Misty's track record was impressive. I called for an appointment. After our initial consultation, She convinced me there was a very good chance t...o reverse several unfair stipulations listed in my original Court Order, (some years back), concerning my daughter. Misty said we will "modify" the Court Order. Really. I didn't even know that could be done. I retained her as council. She did everything she said she would do, ( and a little more). Her fees were fair, she was courteous, professional, and very lethal ! I highly recommend Misty Murphy for child custody, divorce, and modifications to existing court orders . Flynn M.

Lighthouse

The entire divorce and child custody case was both scary and stressful. I think it was the unknown that was the worst because no ethical attorney should give you a guarantee of the outcome. Mysti literally was my lighthouse through it all. Being a male I quickly realized the judicial system alrea...dy had odds against me but Mysti's experience and support helped me defy those odds. Mysti's paralegal Kate was there for me every step of the way too. When i began this process I used AVVO to help me make a well informed choice and lined up several interviews with attorneys. 15mins into my meeting with Mysti I knew I had found "my dog in the fight". Can't stress enough how Mysti and team changed both mine and my child's life for the better. They still keep in touch to check on us which demonstrates how passionate this law firm really is.

God Sent

We live some distance away from San Antonio but needed to find an attorney in this area. I had talked to a local attorney and he told us what to look for. He told us to look for an attorney that specializes in child custody cases with the title "Super Lawyer" by their name. My son and I both were l...ooking up lawyers and we both chose Mysti Murphy without knowing who the other had chosen. I am going to say, Mysti is the BOMB!! She knows her stuff and can probably do it blindfolded. She can be stern when she needs to be. She is sassy and can still kick _ssy!! What I am saying by this is she knows her stuff. We have grown to love her and her staff. They go way out of their way to help and support their clients. From the very first meeting to the closing of the case, (WE WON by the way!!) they were with us every step. I consider them very highly qualified!! God sent us to Murphy Law Firm. Thank you Mysti!!!

Amazing!

It's been a year since my case was settled and I owe so much thanks to Ms. Murphy! If you can read this review, I want to thank you so much Ms. Murphy! There were some minor bumps throughout the trial, but Mysti helped me win my case! I am a father of a little boy that I love so much. In the begi...nning of 2015, I sought her legal advice after having very poor support with another lawyer (in SA) for over a year. She took on my case on and really helped me focus on what was important--my son. With her guidance, in August of 2015, I was awarded as primary conservator of my son. Not everything has been so smooth since then, but it's getting better as the days progress. I can truly say that my both my son and my lives have changed for the better!

Thank you so much. I know how busy we all are. The fact you took the time to share your thoughts and appreciation with me is truly rewarding. If you have a little more time, I would love to see a photo of your and your son now. You can send it by email or regular mail. Your kind words have made my day! Sincerely, Mysti Murphy Mays

Awesome Attorney

Since our first meeting she was courteous and knowledgeable about the law. She was straightforward, told me what to expect and what options I had to deal with my situation. She didn't give me false hope just to take my money. She was always professional and caring about my case. She was always prepar...ed when we had a hearing and prompt. She gained my trust, respect and I'm happy she took over. She had the best interest of the children and what was they needed. Every step of the way she kept me updated and informed in any change in my case. I know I would not hesitate to hire her in the future if needed. Thanks Mysti.
