The difference is she is 100% vested in hearing your story and presenting it with advocacy - Kathleen is straightforward in telling you the best steps to take and what to avoid. Mediation is the key and she is my strong advocate in that process.

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 to anyone who wants a lawyer who isn't afraid to get things done!

I was representing myself in a nasty custody battle. I was fighting for my daughters and was struggling in court, mainly because I didn't lie and try to make my ex look bad. I became visibly upset and couldn't control my emotions and that is when Kathleen approached me and told me to relax, stay calm and she walked me out of court and talked me off the ledge.She spend a good amount of time telling me exactly what I needed to hear and was "to the point" Kathleen didn't give me a 100 possible outcomes or options. She told me what my rights were and what to do and what not to do,AND THAT WAS IT.
I took her advice and went back to the other party and they immediately agreed to what I had put in writing! I did end up hiring her to review the agreement and have the judge sign off on it. I have since referred one person, who retained Kathleen and can't stop thanking me for the referral, as he did not have a good experience with his first attorney.

Do not hire this lawyer. She talks a good talk when you first meet her. She sucks you in. Her flat fee contract is a joke. All she wants is you're MONEY. It has been over 6 months ,10,000 later ,no court dates. She says the keep getting pushed back, Mellissa her Asst. Lies for her. Still have no child support, custody papers. I'm drowning in fiancé issues. I have children I can't support. My family has given enough money and support ,and all Kathleen is concerned about is her money,!!!

Kathleen is an awesome attorney! She represented me during a very difficult time in my life, my divorce. Because of her I was able to go forward with self confidence and ability to start over with financial stability and caring for my two daughters.

Kathleen Murphy is one of the most unethical attorneys I have ever seen. Her legal advice is unethical, she plays games, and does not fight fairly. She advised one of her clients to stop paying bills that supported a family, because the opposite attorney did not respond to her email in her time schedule. That not only made the pending separation worse, but strained the family, the finances, and now the credit of the family the client deserted. THAT is legal advice? Please - don't waste your time or money on this hustler.

I hired Kathleen Murphy to handle my separation and divorce. The moment I consulted with the firm,I knew that this was the place that would fight for myself as well as my children. Although I can understand some comments on Kathleen’s lack of communication, I am certainly surprised that there was no mention of her paralegal, Melissa.
Melissa was prompt in returning my calls, professional when listening my concerns and more then knowledgeable. Not to mention, Melissa was available to answer my calls/emails at all hours of any day. In fact, a situation arose on a holiday regarding a custody arrangement.I took a chance and called Melissa.She took time away from her own family to call me back and walked me through my situation with advise that was spot on.
She is the true gem of that office. The attorney may not always be available for you, but they better have something just as good to answer the call. Kathleen Murphy has Melissa and that’s why I highly recommend that office.

Kathleen Murphy and her staff were outstanding and have gotten me everything I needed and wanted in my divorce proceedings so far. Timely communication is not their stong suit; however, this did not in any way hinder their ability to perform at top-notch levels for me. I have been very pleased with their work.

Has been good at working with me on fees.Very available, much better than other firms I have had to work with. Have worked with multiple firms, and they are the best for availably, willingness to work on billing as well as preparedness for court.

Kathleen Murphy was extremely difficult to contact once she collected her fee. She forgets about my case as soon as I leave her office or get off the phone with her. She even forgot about a scheduled meeting at her office! Her advice ruined any chance at a civil separation between me and my spouse. It was and still is war. Be careful. She promises the sun and moon verbally, then "forgets" what she promised. You end up feeling like you need to sue your lawyer, but she's covered her tracks too well. What's sad is that she is sharp as a tack. She can slice and dice the opposition like nobody's business. It seems she is too busy for her own good. My guess is that she has FAR too many clients to do any of them justice, except perhaps the ones with the fattest wallets. You end up feeling like a burden, just to get legal representation. Her flat fee system sucks as soon as you sign the check.

Do not use this attorney. She charges a flat fee and doesn't do anything, does not return calls, does not prepare for court, until of course the other payment is due, then you get plenty of calls!! We spent a flat $5,000 for just a couple of short phone calls, she wanted another $3,500, and guess what? She kept calling for that! We are in the process of reporting her to the state bar and will probably have to take her to small claims. She is bad all the way around.

I was very dissatisfied with my experience using Mrs. Murphy's office. Mrs. Murphy is a good attorney, however I found that she and her staff were consistently unresponsive and unprofessional. It is also my belief that my case was discussed with people that were in no way related to my divorce. I would not use this law office again or recommend it to anyone.

Kathleen Murphy and her staff were effective advocates for me in my divorce. She kept me informed on proceedings, gave excellent advice and displayed thorough knowledge of the law. Kathleen was intuitive when negotiating in mediation, which in my case, lasted through a second 12 hour session. She got me the best settlment possible and has hindered my ex-husband's harassments. Kathleen rescued me from a very bad legal situation. My ex-husband was pressuring me to sign a final settlement with a mediation firm within 4 days of discussing dissolving our 35 year marriage. He was not truthful regarding our financial situation or his personal behavior. She fought for my rights and I am moving on as a single, independent woman. I feel that she has given me back my life. You can't put a price on that.
