We used Katherine Bestine for a no-fault, uncontested divorce. On my initial visit, 10/28/22. At that time I was told the divorce should be done by February so we could file our taxes together one last time. She cut the remainder in half because "this is so simple". We paid $2400 upfront. They took so long they needed another $2000. We did not have a divorce date until AUGUST 29 2023. It was so upsetting and hard. I'm so disappointed. I was recommended to her from several very public attorneys. I have made them all aware of what happened. I hope the truth can be provided to clients so you don't have to spend 11 months getting divorced. No money, no property. The only thing was a name change. Just so disappointed. I'd be weary to use her again. The paralegal and clerks were all fantastic.

Several weeks ago I inquired about a case and I didn't get to actually explain everything before I was told I couldn't get helped and accused of wrong doing. Clients beware they are not in your best interest.

Terrie assisted me during a very difficult time while my mother was in Hospice and we were working on selling her home. She was able to maneuver through the Medicaid lien process, and assisted me in what paperwork was needed to move things forward. Once my mother passed Terrie assisted my family and I with the estate process. She was very thorough and flexible with our schedules.

We hired Terrie as attorney for my sister's estate. She has been nothing but professional in our dealings with her. Terrie moves things along and is always prompt about answering questions and returning calls and/or emails. She is very knowledgeble about this area of the law. I would have been lost without her.

I engaged Terrie Benson Murray to settle my mother's estate. Terrie was highly recommended by a colleague. I was not disappointed. She was able to guide me through my executor's role, manage all of the necessary processes, and effectively settle the estate in a timely manner. I found her fees to be very reasonable. I couldn't be more satisfied.

Terrie helped re-organize a small corporation that I am secretary/treasurer of. It had been dormant for several years and Terrie get us back to the legal way of doing things. She's always been available for any questions that I have had/

Terrie Benson Murray is everything we hoped for and more when we looked for a lawyer! Terrie has a warm and compassionate manner that shines through in all her interactions with our family. We have met with her many times over the course of the last eight years and her professionalism has always been just remarkable. Terrie took time to carefully walk us, and our aging father, through each step of our Power of Attorney and Health Care Proxy paperwork so we could "make our wishes known". Terrie communicates with us in a timely manner and we never feel rushed or pushed to make hasty decisions. Terrie's calm and reassuring manner during some difficult situations related to health emergencies was unparalleled. We are very grateful to have Terrie's expertise in our corner!

Terrie Benson Murray assisted me with elder law services for my father, after I had moved him here from another state. She helped me with a NYS power of attorney, healthcare directive/proxy, review of existing will, Medicaid application process and advice on a variety of situations that came up. She was very knowledgeable and helpful with everything and always responded to my inquiries in a timely manner.
