Divorce wasn't easy, I'm glad Sarah was my lawyer.“I chose this law office on the recommendation of a friend who went through a divorce just before I did, and I am grateful for my friend's own misery (we both laugh now about our not so fun times). Although I wouldn't wish a divorce on anyone (stick it out and try every day to make it work, or until about the sixth time she tells you she wants a divorce!), for my marriage there wasn't another option. As miserable a time as I had through more than two years of separation and divorce proceedings, I am happy that Sarah and her team were with me. Sarah always ensured my interests were protected, and her legal advice was always spot on. We never encountered any legal setbacks other than spending more time in court than expected because of the other side's actions. She was proactive in every way possible, and seemed to be a step ahead of the other side. With Sarah's help I finalized my divorce on my terms and gave up nothing that mattered to me. Thank you!”
Your validation has pulled his life out of quicksand.“Dear Mike, I haven't said how deeply I am touched by your emotional support of my son. He has been held together by the Grace of God and you. However things turn out, I know in my heart of hearts that you have stood by him. Your validation has pulled his life out of quicksand. You've given him hope and thoughts of a productive future. He has reason to persevere. A mother can only do so much, your kindness has done the rest. I will be forever indebted to you and your wife for your kindnesses to each of us is radiant in her joy with her dad, but torn by her loyalty to her Mom. Poor child. Her sanity depends on this time here and now. This will never make sense to her, but at least she will know that her Dad didn't just abandon her, or abuse her. She'll know now. Thanks for reminding me that fun is important. I have been about good behavior, not fun. I catch myself when I start to rein in the child, and try to make fun the aim of the day. Gratitude is spoken here, and I thank you.”

Mike Murphy successfully defended me in the military law courts and shepherded me through the civilian divorce process.“Divorce is difficult and mine was probably more difficult than most since it involved false allegations by my ex-wife of domestic violence and child abuse.

I can always count on receiving timely and substantive advice“Sarah has been working on my divorce and follow-on support/visitation issues for several years. I can always count on receiving timely and substantive advice regarding any situation or question I may have, no matter how novel. I think her best trait is that she knows my situation inside and out and understands the mindset of my ex-wife. This ability allows her to provide advice on my case that I may be blindsided by because I am too close to the trees to see the forest. I cannot describe how much confidence I have knowing that I have an attorney like Sarah in my corner for any future battles with my ex.”

I want to thank you for your wise counsel and words of encouragement over the last 18 months.“I want to thank you for your wise counsel and words of encouragement over the last 18 months. It was an ordeal for me, but your assistance undoubtedly made it easier. You always seemed to be concerned with my best interests. Never once did you encourage me to do something that didn't make sense, either from a financial or litigation standpoint. In fact, I now realize that you did everything you could to drive us toward a settlement. I really do appreciate that! I have talked to other divorced dads and listened to a radio show on the subject of child custody. I feel very fortunate to have come through this process with shared custody and my dignity intact.
