Mr. Murphy is an experienced military divorce lawyer, always professional, pleasant and understanding while expertly navigating the complex challenges associated with a military divorce. His knowledge of unique aspects of a military divorce proved to be of utmost importance in seeking a fair resolution and agreement. Mr. Murphy always provided excellent, concise and clear counsel.

With Mr. Murphy’s extensive knowledge of military regulation, policy and law, he was able to expertly and efficiently mitigate risks, manage and easily navigate legal processes, and resolve issues in a complex divorce case, while a less experienced attorney would not have been as effective resulting in costly and stressful delays. Mr. Murphy’s team complimented his legal counsel perfectly. Melissa his paralegal was always knowledgeable and efficient. Her proficiency of the nuances of military divorces further enhanced the legal services provided. I highly recommend Mr. Murphy without exception for any legal counsel during a military divorce.

This team that makes things happen! I felt supported all the way through a very difficult process and I cannot thank Mike and his team enough. Great work and I recommend them if you want 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.

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.
