Hired Attorney Stefanie A. Murphy

Going through a dv case is incredibly overwhelming, but Stefanie Murphy provided the steady hand and compassion I needed. She truly listened to me and treated my situation with the utmost empathy and respect. Stefanie made me feel seen and protected throughout the entire legal process, and I can not thank her enough for her dedication. She even responded to a text on a Sunday just to answer questions I had about the following mornings hearing. If you want the best representation and the best possible outcome, then simply hire the best: that is Stefanie Murphy! Best decision I ever made following one of my worst experiences. Now, because of Stefanie, it's all behind me. I can finally move on! Seriously, don't hesitate. You will not regret it. Unless, like me, you come to regret not hiring her much sooner!

Hired Attorney Stefanie A. Murphy

When I was wrongly summoned to court for a refusal of a chemical test (I passed the field sobriety tests, assessed a fine, and let go), I suddenly panicked. Was I going to lose my license? Would I have to install a device to start my car? I did a quick google search on “refusal of breathalyzer” and Marin, Barrett, and Murphy was the first law firm to pop up. It was after hours so I left a message. I was surprised and delighted a short while later when attorney Stefani Murphy called me back. I explained the circumstances and discussed my driving record with her to see if there were any real concerns. Her calm and professional demeanor immediately put me at ease. Within minutes it seemed like I was talking with an old friend! Stefani was knowledgeable, friendly, and assured me that we had a good case and not to worry. She made it so easy, and her fees were very reasonable. When she had a scheduling conflict, she rescheduled the court date so that she could represent me. She met with me

Stefanie is an outstanding attorney and provides exceptional service. She is easy to talk to, very professional, and takes time to answer your questions. Stefanie is very committed to helping her clients and got our case dismissed. She would always respond right away to my messages, and always made me feel comfortable discussing our case. She was always very confident as well, which gave me a good feeling going into it. I highly recommend Stefanie, I wouldn't want to work with anyone else after working with her! She sets some high standards!!

Hired Attorney Stefanie A. Murphy

From the very first time I called, attorney Murphy, answered all my questions and explained the entire criminal process for dui and refusals. I was calling for a friend and not only did she explain it to me but spent just as much time with my friend and his family. Somehow Attorney Murphy was able to win the case and my friend did not lose his license at all. This saved him his job and his lively hood.

Ms. Murphy is a tremendous advocate, always putting her client’s needs first. She is so much more accessible and compassionate than other attorneys, and always made sure we understood everything. I’m so glad I found her, and would give her my highest recommendation.
