My life turned upside down when for the first time in my life I was arrested and jailed while in the Stafford / Fredericksburg area. In jail, inmates told me that my charges could put me in jail for twenty years. Several of them told me I needed Mark Murphy. I admitted my wrong doing, but didn't want to spend time in jail.
I would have lost my home, job and family. Mark Murphy did everything he could to help me and I can honestly tell you what I told him - he saved my life. I got a second chance because of his belief in me as a person and the representation he provided me in court. He never gave up on me or my case. He did it all step-by-step, detail-to-detail, professionally and with a respect for everyone involved - including the unfortunate victim.

I recently used Mr. Murphy for a very delicate and complicated case. Mr. Murphy was the only lawyer who wanted anything to do with this case in the area. Mr. Murphy and his staff kept me informed, told me how the process was going to work step by step. When you have to get a lawyer it usually is not a comfortable situation, this lawn firm made is as comfortable and easy as possible. Their empathy, professionalism and knowledge are the 3 best words I can describe them. Do not hesitate to call them.

Mark Murphy is an excellent litigator and trial attorney. I've hired him many times (spanning 15 years) representing various family members and have not been disappointed. His knowledge of the law and dynamic capabilities in the courtroom amazes me and gets the results. Recommend him highly, and especially if you have a complex case. He is the only attorney I trust and the best attorney in the area.

EXCEPTIONAL from beginning to end! Mr. Mark Murphy makes no promises but certainly delivers! We found Mr. Murphy after our original attorney came to us with a plea deal that he considered a “no brainer”, which we did not agree with. We were referred to our first attorney and thought early on that we had made a huge mistake, we were afraid to make a change but after the plea offer and the first attorney’s unwillingness to try to get a better offer, we knew we had no other choice and thank God we found Mr. Murphy. He fought for our son and got him a plea offer that we could all agree was a

Mark Murphy knows the Law and courts. He meets with you and tells you from the start what he can do for you, when you leave his office you know you have someone that is going to have your back and do all he can to help you with whatever situation you are in. The staff (Molly) and other with him go beyond to make sure all the paperwork and is ready everything is filed. Thank you all again for all you did for our family.

So happy I was able to have Mr. Murphy as my lawyer! He was professional and knowledgeable throughout the entire process, especially dealing with the prosecution. Molly and Cheryl were very helpful as well and made sure all of my messages were received. They made it easy to obtain any documents or info I needed as well. Overall, they were a great team and I strongly recommend Mark if you need an advocate for you in court.

Mr Mark Murphy represented our son in a fatal car accident. Our son was charged with Reckless Driving with Endangerment.
Mr. Murphy was the third attorney we hired. Two other attorneys were unfit for the complexity of the case.
After everything we have gone through this past year, hiring Mr. Murphy gave us a huge sense of relief. Mr. Murphy was the last resort to get better legal representation and it was the best choice we made. Legal matters are stressful, it is difficult to think when overwhelmed with worries. Hiring Mr. Murphy immediately helped us feel better.

I am a commercial electrician, and I drive long distances everyday for work. In the last couple years I have dug myself a hole with tickets. The last ticket that I got, would put me over the point limit on paper and I was going to most likely lose my license. I leave at 3 am for work, so there is no way anyone could drive me daily. I also work some far distances from home, so Uber wouldn’t be feasible either. I have a wife, kids and bills that all depend on me, and I didn’t have a plan for this. I hired Mark Murphy because I heard a lot about him, and knew that if I was going to get an attorney
