Do not recommend as minor's counsel

Ms. McMurray was appointed by the court as minor's counsel. She never bothered to contact the motioning party as to _why_ she was appointed, she just started her $500+/hr clock and did what she wanted, racking up over $20K in fees. I am informed and believe that she does a lot of Domestic Violence ...work, and my impression is that she is thus somewhat unconsciously biased against men. She did about an hours worth of value added work in my case, translating minor's letter to the judge into the form of a declaration. The rest did not move the case forward to resolution. The best analogy I can make is that she was a tourist in my family's life, choosing when to pop in and pop out, and seemingly did so right before hearings just so she could appear informed. Hopefully this assists you in determining whether Ms. McMurray is the right fit for your case.

Family lawyer | Jul 25

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I've known Mirissa for over 10 years in a personal and professional capacity. I was first her supervisor when we both worked at Bay Area Legal Aid and she ran our Domestic Violence Restraining Order Clinic. And then now as opposing counsel in private family law matters. Mirissa is ethical, honest, and trustworthy. She is very knowledgeable about law, procedure, and the practical realities of family law and domestic violence practice. Above all, she is an excellent advocate for her clients' interests while being a dignified professional. She will litigate where necessary and settle where possible."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. She really knows the law, especially as to DV. If you have a DV problem, I would call her before any other attorney, even myself!! (tough for me to say this) In addiition to being knowledgable, she is fair and easy to work with, while still being a storng advocate for her clients. Many family law attorneys are really rude and push the level of conflict way, way up, whch benefits no one. She is the complete opposite of this."
