Bud from the gate made sure to know my case inside and out and protected me when my Ex and his family lied about events at trial. Bud was determined, and a ruthless litigator but also well liked and respected. One of my favorite things about Bud is will make you feel like he’s your close friend and literally will be available when you really need him! Thank you Bud!

Divorce was never in my plan. I never wanted it for sure. And then I found myself facing one. I will admit that with all the attorneys I deal with, I fumbled trying to navigate the trauma of that reality and the very real need for good representation. By circumstance I fell into Bud Murphy's office. Stunned by divorce, making no progress, bleeding cash, hearing I am on the losing end largely because I am dad and I work (my words), and frustrated explaining details of my life and business to people who weren't listening, I felt my case was careening out of control and headed to a very bad outcome. Enter Bud Murhpy. I barely noticed him coming up the curve. He invested real time understanding what I needed to accomplish for my children and for myself, what my priorities were in the case, and the strategy of opposing counsel. He developed a clear view of what our desired outcome was, and he engaged in series of tactics with opposing counsel, the mediator, the forensic accountant, and, frankly, with me to get me as close to there as he could. He worked (hard) this deal. He never lost sight of everything he's seen go horribly wrong with his clients and their children. And he worked the other parties aggressively to ensure that didn't happen here. He never left me thinking we were good when we were not - and gave up ground only when winning was a worse outcome for my kids and I than losing. In the end he got me the best outcome I could have expected - one I can live with. I never felt so represented by an attorney as I did with Bud Murphy. Because of him, my children have another chance at a decent upbringing. Because of him I can put this experience in a box and move on. He knows when to pour on the sugar and work the offline discussions to get to a good outcome, and when to pull out the blowtorch to bend steel. He is an excellent attorney that called me nights and weekends while he worked my case. I truly appreciate and thank him, and cannot recommend him enough. Count my vote for Bud Murphy.

My experience with Joe a.k.a “Bud” was fantastic. Joe was very personable and extremely helpful in guiding me through a process that I was unfamiliar with. Joe was always easy to contact and have a conversation with. I highly recommend “Bud”, overall great guy and excellent attorney!

JOSEPH MURPHY a.k.a. Bud, help me through a very tough time in my life. He was thoughtful, supportive and understanding. He called it like he saw it and delivered top notch Leagal guidance. I would highly recommend Bud.

Divorce is never easy or pleasant, but working with Bud is both of these things. From the start Bud was kind, caring, attentive and understanding as we talked through my situation. He gave me a clear understanding of my position and the options and possibilities, and throughout he handled my case with care and diligence. He is also a staunch advocate when needed! Furthermore, he is well acquainted with everyone in the court system, and this knowledge and experience is invaluable when navigating courts. I highly recommend him for all family and divorce matters.

I switch to Joseph(Bud) from another lawyer and can’t be happier. My divorce was very complicated and difficult but Bud walked me through it step by step. He is a calming influence and you need that while going through the divorce process. His prices are very reasonable and his expertise second to none. I would strongly recommend him if you are going through a divorce.

I am a recent client of Bud Murphy and thankful that he handled my divorce case. He has extensive experience and knowledge about divorce law in NJ. He negotiated a fair settlement in a firm and diplomatic manner. He also managed to keep the process moving which minimized the time to complete the process. My divorce was settled out of court in approximately 9 months. Even though he has many clients, he was always prompt in responding to any inquiries. Bud has a fine sense of humor which was appreciated during some very stressful situations. I would recommend Bud to anyone who needs a divorce attorney.

After a bad experience with a different law firm Joe was highly recommend from a close friend. Joe took my case and started working on it immediately and brought my case to a close. It took Joe 1 month to do what the other firm couldn't do in 11 months. His cost was more then far and with Joe, after a week with of representing me I felt as Joe was a friend of mine for years. I would highly commend him to everyone. Thanks Joe! (Bud)

Bud Murphy did an exceptional job outlining my options and potential paths forward. He gave me multiple options at varying costs and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. His advice was always spot on and I felt comfortable every step of the way. Bud helped me through a very difficult time with the utmost professionalism. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing divorce services. I truly hope I never am in a situation where I need him again but if I do, I’ll call him first!

I was referred to go talk to Joseph Murphy by a buddy of mine. I went in for a consult about my divorce and he was extremely nice and professional. He gave me all my options and told me how it was going to work. Bud answered any questions I had and he made the process as quick and painless as he could. He was always available if I had a problem or a question that I needed handled. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that needs an attorney.

After being blindsided with a Divorce from a 20 year marraige, where I was a housewife and Mother. A relative referred me to "Bud". After my consultation, I never looked back. He is very well versed in Family Law, Honest, empathetic and has Professional integrity. Bud is very knowledgable, easily accessible and had my best interests at heart. He stood his ground when Alimony and Child support was discussed. And my divorce was finalized within 8 months. I highly recommend Joseph "Bud" Murphy if you are seeking a Matrimonial lawyer. You would be in very good, and very capable hands.
