HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - DIVORCE / CHILD CUSTODY

I have personally had the pleasure of working with Mr. Murray over the past ten plus years since my divorce started in June 2008. At the time Mr. Murray guided me through the process and continues to do so today. He directly helped me with my divorce that was very difficult in times keeping me grou...nded to reality and how the outcomes would be long term. He has guided me through living over "100 miles" term with my one and only child and helps strive for as much time with her as much as possible. Going into a divorce and a having a child involved is difficult in itself and nothing that anyone wants or sets out to achieve. But with sitting down directly with Mr. Murray on many different occasions he has helped me navigate this process that quite frankly no one wants to go through. I 110% leaned on him and continue to do so each and every year at the Holidays / Summers / Spring Break / Extended Weekends to help make the best decision regarding my daughter. Yes, there are times I find myself questioning why this way or that way and then I remember he sees this every day I need to trust his experience. This is what reassures me with living away from my daughter that we are making the right decisions for her and ultimately protecting her as an end result. Overall I would highly recommend sitting down with Josh to review your case, although remember in the heat of the moment he is the one that will help you. I have always found Mr. Murray to be honest and fair even when challenged by myself or the judicial system I feel he keeps his clients wishes in best interest. This is the part that I cannot reiterate enough as you work with him and his team. They have proven to be ethical, moral, and fair. But if you hire Josh be willing to be guided and embrace the guidance he provides as this is hard especially when a person is going through a divorce with a child involved. The end result with his expertise will help allow you to make a solid decision based off of facts and not emotion, which even to this day I struggle with, but I know I can rely on him to help make the best decision for me. That is why I continue to work with him over the course of each year and will continue to do so. I might not agree with everything (but that's my emotions as a human being) and he helps me to stay organized and structured. If you are on the fence about an attorney I would take one meeting with Mr. Murray's office and if keeping an open mind you will find yourself being directed in the best path possible. Recommended for both divorce and child custody cases. A++++

Very Informative, Excellent execution.

Mr Murray is a very intelligent, well educated in law, and experienced in Texas legal family matters. He is helpful, and has a plan for every twist and turn of my complicated case. He handled all of my matters very professionally, and was honest with his information to make sure that I protected my...self. The case against me makes me sound like an absolute monster, and he gave me real advice, not his opinion or what I wanted to hear. I feel confident moving forward in my proceedings, and I will definitely utilize Mr. Murray in the future and would hightly recommend his service.

Untrustworthy - poor judgement

I would not trust Josh Murray where sound judgement is required. My three children have been lastingly harmed by his involvement in our case. After my kids had lived with me happily for 9 years -- my ex absent from their lives and 4 years behind in support -- she sued for custody. Mr. Murray was hir...ed as an amicus attorney to make a recommendation. We had four other mental health practitioners, experts in high-conflict cases, work with my children who said that they needed to be protected from their mom’s emotional abuse and manipulations. Mr. Murray spent all of two hours talking to me and then said that that my children should be transferred to my ex. My ex later dropped the bombshell that our first child was not mine, yet Mr. Murray tried to force me to pay her attorney’s fees. At our last hearing, the judge found that my ex had been alienating the children against me. Mr. Murray had no clue, and the damage had already been done. No scruples. No judgement. No attorney.

Replied last January 26, 2016

As an Amicus Attorney in a case, I am charged with making recommendations based upon all the facts and circumstances of a case. The full scope of the facts and evidence presented to me by everyone involved in a case are never fully known by either party due to the confidential nature of the appointment. In the end, based upon all the information I had, the recommendation I made was not favorable to this reviewer. I am sorry he feels the way he does, but in every case, one side is usually disappointed with the result of an Amicus Attorney's recommendation. If the reviewer would like to discuss this situation in more detail, I would be happy to schedule a time to meet to do so.

Great Attorney!!!

I have worked for Josh as a Private Investigator. Josh does an excellent job advocating and representing his clients. Josh is in a league of his own when it comes to representing his family law clients. When I went through my own divorce I turned to Josh and I was completely satisfied with him and... his excellent staff with their service in my case.
