Ben Murphy goes beyond the call of his job. He has represented our family several times. Our situation was by far abnormal. While there were times we started to lose faith, Ben never did. He always fights for what is right and what is deserved. He stands firm in his morals and belief in the justice system. He worked with us financially and mentally. If we ever find ourselves at the crossfire of another situation, we will no doubt continue to have Ben represent us.

Mr. Murphy is a great lawyer! He really fights hard for you. I wanted to be able to see my child and that's what he faught for. Ben Murphy is honest and answers any questions you may have, regardless of how silly the questions may be. He is just a lawyer that is truly on your side.

We found Mr Murphy online while searching for a Mississippi Attorney that handled Family Law. I read all the reviews and about his credentials and he even had some personal information about himself (family life, Church, hobbies,etc.) and after looking into several other Attorneys, even had been given some referrals from friends, I just kept coming back to his listing. We called his office and had an appointment within a week. When we arrived at his office it was a very relaxing environment. Once we met him, we knew within the first few minutes of speaking with him that we had chosen the right Attorney. He was so easy to talk to and made us feel so comfortable. Not only did we feel comfortable but also very confident in him to represent us. He was very welcoming, very knowledgeable and showed true concern/feeling regarding our matter. He advised us as to how he would be handling it, what the cost would be, which we felt was very reasonable, and he did just what he said he would do, when he said he was going to do it and within a couple of weeks has handled our situation without any delays or further information from us. We were impressed when we left his office when we first met him and we are over the top happy with the outcome of the situation. It was exactly what we needed. We now have an Attorney for any needs going forward. We will be referring him to anyone we know who is need for an Attorney. We are very grateful for him. Grateful for how well he treated us and how well he handled everything just as he said he would. It couldn’t have been any better.

We were referred to Ben Murphy for a difficult custody case. From the beginning he laid out what to expect, was honest with facts even if they were not in our favor & worked tirelessly through a case that took a while to complete & helped us be victorious in the end. Our entire family is grateful for the time, integrity & work performed by Mr. Murphy.

Ben is a fantastic person period. Hard working, caring, honest, genuine. The advice he gave me during a family estate situation was extremely helpful.

Mr. Murphy, handled my case with extreme efficiency and knowledge of the local process. He was obviously really busy, but still responded to my inquiries and made the unfortunate incident that I had, something that was painless to deal with. I highly recommend him.

I just saw a review posted by "Keith". I beg to differ with his review. Mr. Murphy has always been the most professional person me and my family have ever dealt with. We have used him for a few different cases, and he was always successful in defending us. Thank you Mr. Murphy for your hard work and professionalism.
