About

Our firm motto is "We've Got This" as we believe our clients are in the midst of emotional burdens and should not have to worry about whether the attorney is handling their matters.  I have been a practicing divorce attorney for over 30 years and have limited my practice soley to matters involving family law.  My firm offers an initial consultation at no charge and I believe that this service is invaluable to the community.As a wife and mother of four children, I have experience as it relates to families and the dynamics therein.  We work with all types of families including same sex relationships and believe that families are best when the parents can work towards a mediated settlement of custodial issues.   I am a trained family financial mediator through Mediation, Inc. and will attempt to work with your family towards a resolution however, not all cases can be resolved outside of litigation.  As a trial attorney, I have represented both mothers and fathers regularly and I have experience working in the child support court and the domestic violence courtroom.We offer the flat fee billing system as we believe that access to your attorney should not be limited by concerns of billing.

Kathleen is an incredible attorney. She is extremely skilled and comes to court prepared. I continue to be impressed by her and I am so glad I hired her to assist me through an extremely difficult divorce.

Prior to meeting Kathleen, I was represented by three attorneys with lackluster results in a 5 year, high conflict custody case. I wish I would have hired Kathleen from the start. She stepped in, resolved issues quickly without any nonsense and I truly believe that she has the best interest of myself and my children in mind. She is an excellent attorney and I wish I had met her 5 years ago when the initial custody issues began. As a current client of hers, I would recommend her without question. She truly is a caring, results driven attorney who cares about her clients and families.

I am so thankful that I hired Kathleen to represent me. Yesterday I had an issue with the woman I am separated with and if it had not been for Kathleen being readily available I would have had a serious problem. She stayed on the phone with me throughout the entire issue and talked me through how to handle it. When I recommend someone or a business it is something I do not normally do so for me to take the time to write this speaks volumes of what my impression is of Kathleen. If you are in need of her type of assistance you would be doing yourself a disservice by not going with her!! Thank you again Kathleen because yesterday you were my hero!!!

Integrity, that's the word that comes to mind when I think of Kathleen Murphy. Its also the one word, any client should desire from an attorney. Hopefully, the public learns that from this publication. Kathleen took my case short noticed and did the single most honest task I could ever ask from an attorney with time or no time, ***Present my case with honesty and clarity***. That’s all I have ever wanted, Kathleen does it, she doesn’t try and make up some fabricated story or think she knows better than you, she listens to what’s happening, and stands for your rights. This attorney is a blessing to this world by standing to make the world better and not letting people's lives being ruined. Which everyone knows happens so easily today. I contacted many attorneys before Kathleen, and they all showed some serious concern for my case, even with my awareness that I had a strong case with evidence. Let me tell you, if you hear Kathleen Murphy say “We’ve got this”, then you can go take a short nap to feel safe, she doesn’t pretend to go through your case or just “look over” the details. She looks at the evidence herself not wasting the chance of an undergrad to make an undergrad mistake. I'm sure you all hear attorneys using well-trained staff who are authorized and certified to look at the evidence, but they don’t know jack squat to protect you. Kathleen uses her eyes, not someone else’s to do the work for her. Kathleen is your attorney, not the undergrad. Stop looking for other attorney’s, go to Kathleen Murphy, she is a great attorney protecting the public.

I hired Kathleen to represent me in my high-conflict separation, which was also a domestic violence situation. From the start, she was my advocate and helped me realize that I didn't have to go through this alone. She was responsive and helpful and worked hard to make sure my priorities were met. She is knowledgeable and experienced, and I would recommend her highly to anyone who wants a lawyer that isn't afraid to get things done!

It's hard to describe with words how helpful Kathleen has been helping me navigate everything during this difficult time. I no longer feel hopeless. Kathleen is extremely talented and continues to exceed my expectations.

Kathleen is very good at what she does and has been helpful thus far. This has not been easy on me and she puts me at ease when speaking with her and provides good direction

Kathleen Murphy is an incredibly talented attorney. She is extremely detail-oriented, has a creative and strategic mind, is dynamic in the courtroom, and above all, treats her clients like partners. After many frustrating years of dealing with a co-parent that refuses to co-parent, I reached out to Kathleen. Kathleen took up my case in the middle of an extremely stressful time for my family, and within 24 hours, was preparing and filing motions to protect my children. Within just two weeks, she knew every detail of my case, and was able to successfully resolve a show cause that had been dragging on for months. The journey is not yet over, but I am looking forward to working with her in the future, and feel that I’ve made more progress in the last 4 weeks than I have in the last 4 years! I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a family law attorney!

From my first encounter watching Kathleen in court, it was obvious that she truly cared about and fought for her clients. She offered (though she represented neither of us) to help my former spouse and I resolve an issue that had left us frustrated and gridlocked. Not only was I impressed with her no-nonsense, get-to-the-point approach and ability to quickly resolve a seemingly impossible situation, I was thoroughly touched by her offer of kindness. I was extremely dissatisfied with the attorney I had hired and asked if I could meet with her. After JUST ONE HOUR meeting with Kathleen, I felt: * I had a better understanding of the entire separation process * I found someone who understood what I was dealing with * Finally there was a lawyer who would advocate for ME * This was a woman who KNEW HER STUFF and would GET THINGS DONE. Kathleen was very frank with me and told me: if you don't feel like I have this, then you shouldn't hire me. Kathleen has handled the legal quagmire so that I could focus my energy and time on my children and job. Its not only been a game changer, it's been a life changer. My only regret is that I didn't know about Kathleen 3 years, 2 lawyers and $$$$$ ago.
