Ellis Family Law, P.L.L.C.

I was in court this week, supporting a dear friend who was fighting to get her children back from her ex after a protracted and extremely acrimonious divorce. It was so stressful and scary but my friend was able to hire Kathleen Murphy from Ellis Family Law. She worked with my friend to try to keep her expenses as low as possible (to be clear - "low" is a relative term) by giving her guidance and having her do some of the court prep. Her strategy was the opposite of what my friend and I had been discussing for weeks (of course, we have zero legal training) - she tried to explain it but it was so different than what we had in mind that we couldn't even understand what she was saying (again, see earlier statement about "stressful and scary"). We hadn't ever seen Kathleen in court so we didn

Attorney Kathleen Murphy, Esq. Kathleen is an expert attorney who is exceptionally knowledgeable and effective. Her command of the law, preparation, and courtroom skill gave me total confidence at a time when I needed strong advocacy the most. She explained my options clearly, anticipated the other side’s arguments, and presented my case with professionalism and precision. What sets Kathleen apart is that she combines her deep legal knowledge with compassion and patience. I always felt supported, never overwhelmed, and knew I was in the hands of someone who truly understood the law inside and out. She is well worth her rates — the peace of mind and the successful outcome she achieved for me were invaluable. I wholeheartedly recommend Kathleen to anyone in need of an expert level, brilliant

I've used Kathleen Murphy twice over the last 20 years. I remember someone telling me she is a "bulldog" and fights for her clients. Kathleen protected me, my children, my assets, and our future both times, and I would not change a thing about how she defended us and won for us. Nobody wants to go through these times in life, but if you are forced into it and need a true fighter, who is a "real" person, Kathleen Murphy and Crystal Ross are a dynamic duo that will get the job done for you, while remembering that you are a human being. Kathleen and Crystal have the ability to "read" a client's individual needs and put together a defense that is personal to them, not just go through the formal "check boxes." Words alone cannot describe the feeling of having someone work so hard for you, whi

Learning to trust an attorney that you’re just beginning to work with is really difficult. The anxiety I felt along this journey was supported by Kathleen, but what she did in court this afternoon was beyond. I didn’t know what I didn’t know; but she did. She blew opposing counsel away. She knows her stuff and she knows what’s needed. Her staff went above and beyond for me also, and I’m so grateful!

I cannot recommend Tony Kehoe enough. His expertise in family law, attention to detail, and calm, confident approach made a meaningful difference in the family law matters he has assisted me with. Tony is consistently prepared, communicative, and thoughtful in his approach. I appreciate his clear guidance and professionalism throughout the process and am thankful for his support. I look forward to continuing to work with him at Ellis Family Law!
