My girlfriend and her husband had a terrible experience with an elder care firm and Susan stepped up and put them on the right path and took the time to make sure they were in good hands. Listening  to the horror stories of all the laws concerning the elderly when it comes time for me to seek help with my parents. This is the firm I’ll be contacting.

We have had this Law firm since around 2014. They are excellent in their field of expertise. They communicate so well and are so helpful with Eldercare law. Barb Henicle is a wonderful person to work with. She has been a true blessing to our family for several years. We are so grateful to her and the entire staff at Murphy and Associates. We are always referring people to them because they truly help families. We could not have taken care of the financial end of our parents estates without their guidance and input. They took care of everything and gave us a great sense of peace through our journey. May the Lord continue to bless this law firm.

I would highly recommend R. Thomas Murphy’s firm for handling your estate needs Jared and Amy were a God send when it was time to do both my father’s estate and my mother’s.  I  have now placed my estate planning in their hands with the greatest confidence my best interests will be attended to properly.

This law firm is outstanding in all ways! We refer people to this practice all the time! They are all so very helpful and dedicated to each client. Barb Stefanic and Barb Henicle are two terrific staff. Everyone at the Waynesboro office are excellent in communicating and helping clients. We could never have done our Dad’s estate without them and they continue to serve and help guide us through the process of his estate and continue to take care of the paperwork for his wife who is in a nursing home. We are so grateful and thankful for them and their service. They have been a God-send! We have had our wills renewed through them and intend to do all future legal work through them. They certainly know what they are doing and we have utmost trust in each one. Mr. Murphy is a dedicated attorney who goes far above for his clients. May the Lord bless this practice and each one who is employed there. We just can’t say enough good about them!! Thank you!
