Hello my name is William Alston and I retained Mr Murphy law firm to help me probate and process my parents estates and he was such a wonderful human being, a god fearing man with great principles . Mr Murphy's understanding of the law was next level , from the first sit down conversation to the final filing, Mr Murphy made my wife and I comfortable past the point of knowing everything was done properly. My wife and I can't imagine going to another attorney because Mr Murphy and his wife , everyone was so like extended family, they really care and I am forever thankful for that, so I would say if you want a hometown family experience with an attorney that knows his stuff on one end and care about you and your family wellbeing then Mr Murphy is that person.

Ive been working with Garret Murphy Law for over three years now for both business and personal needs, and I couldnt ask for a better experience. Garret is down to earth, always reachable, and genuinely takes the time to listen. He doesnt just give legal advice; he helps you understand your options and guides you through every step. Consistently reliable, patient, and supportive. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an attorney.

I had a wonderful experience today toward developing and learning about my future needs required for achieving my estate planning goals. I found Garrett to be a professional who is easy to converse with, a person of high character, a provider of information that is easy to interpret, and a person who reflects high moral and ethical standards. I would highly recommend his legal services to my family, neighbors, and my friends.

After my husbands long illness and death, I was in need of legal assistance for probate purposes.
I have dealt with many attorneys during my career, however on a personal level, I must say. Mr.Garnett and his office staff made this quick and seemingly painless. It was never necessary for me to make a phone call to follow up,as I was always kept informed every step. This process was professionally and will always be appreciated.

Garrett and his team, I would recommend a MILLION times over. This was my first time having to use an attorney and he made the process so smooth. He made sure I clearly understood what was being put in front of me and if I didn't, he broke it down, so I did. In the future if I need an attorney, I will be returning! Thank you for your hard work!

Garrett has gone above and beyond for 2 business law matters for me. The selling of one business in 2024, and a partner buy-in for another business in 2025. He is an excellent listener, very knowledgeable, and works quickly! He will be my first choice again and again! Thank you for all you've done, Garrett!
