Great work Mike and team! Thank you for guiding me through a very difficult time with positive results.
I retained Mike and Rebecca to represent me in what even the presiding judge admitted was one of the most complex cases he'd ever seen. Basically, my ex spouse manufactured allegations against me which she used to remove our minor children from the Commonwealth to return to her home state without my knowledge or consent. I had to fight tooth and nail to try and clear my name and get my kids back. Well, Mike and Rebecca did just that. They met every legal challenge professionally and with decisions that were in the best interest of the children. The result is that ALL of the children have been returned home to Virginia with me having primary custody AND I retained ALL of my assets. Note: I am also a lawyer who knows great legal work...this is such a case. The best interest of the child(ren) is THE standard. I would definitely recommend this team of excellent counselors for your family law needs.
Mike was initially brought on to help in what was supposed to be a fairly simple divorce where custody had been verbally granted to me by my ex. However, it turned into messy and contentious litigation over the custody of my son. Mike's guidance through this process was one of the chief reasons why we had the outcome that we did. While it was a team effort, Mike certainly took point and made sure that everyone was on the same page, and his willingness to also listen and give feedback on my own ideas was appreciated, and even took a good deal of my suggestions if he felt they would be truly beneficial to the case. He had immense empathy and did everything he could to represent our best interests, and in the end, we won more than we had even asked for in the initial agreement. Cannot speak highly enough about Mike.
I retained Michael Murphy to assist me with reducing my spousal support obligation after suffering a stroke and being forced into a medical retirement.

Following recommendations from government colleagues I met with Mike Murphy. Without his guidance and representation I am confident that I would be lost and without my children.Mike Murphy is experienced, knows the machinations of the Virginia court system and understands the complications that come with government service whether uniformed or not. I am grateful to my colleagues for providing his contact information. I could not be more grateful to Mike for what he has done for me and my family.
Michael and his staff made this process very easy for me. The entire staff was amazing throughout the process. Any time I had question it was immediately answered.
