Posted by Yuki | August 09, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

I'm glad to have him on my side.

My child's well being and stability was everything to me, and when I hired Mr. Murphy, I instantly felt and knew he understood that. Steve is extremely knowledgeable on the law and very strategic with his cases. The more and more trust I put into him and his firm throughout my case. He truly cares ab...out his clients and fights for what is important to them." Thank you.

GREAT ATTORNEY AND PARALEGAL

I have known Mr. Murphy for over 3 years. He represented me during my divorce and now with my VERY difficult custody case. Working with both Mr. Murphy and Laura Prandini has been ABSOLUTELY the best experience under these difficult circumstances. During my cases I thought there was no light at the e...nd of the tunnel , with their hands on approach and highly knowledgable expertise they have brought me out of darkness into a beach of sunshine. I never believed in miracles until I worked with Mr. Murphy and Laura. They have turned my very difficult case into a walk into the park. They are both VERY professional and convey a sense of compassion during the difficult time. There are no words that can express the gratitude I have for both Mr. Murphy and Laura. They have both been ABSOLUTELY AMAZING in getting the job done in a timely manner. For those people who have a negative impression of lawyers and their staff, I would highly recommend and would love to refer this dynamic duo- Mr. Murphy and Laura to take their case and change their perception of the legal process. Not only do they work with you with care they also get the job done in a very courageous and professional manner. I would HIGHLY recommend my friends, family and anyone in need of legal assistance to obtain Mr. Murphy and Laura to represent their case. Every one deserves to work with the best at their craft. I Joseph Coleman Jr. am a testimony of what Great Attorneys and Paralegals can do. I believe everyone deserves this same experience!

Family Law Expert

The best decision that I made when preparing for my divorce was to select Stephen Murphy as my attorney. Steve has over 30 years of active experience in Family Law which was evident in many ways as he utilized his superior skills and vast knowledge to resolve every issue encountered in my complicated... case. My initial telephone conversation with Steve was very positive as he listened intently to my situation and then answered all of my questions. Steve advocated mediation from the beginning and due to his strong leadership, a hearing with a private judge was coordinated by him resulting in a successful and fair resolution. I have moved on with my life with confidence and dignity thanks to Steve. I enthusiastically recommend Stephen Murphy due to his determined commitment and extraordinary performance.
