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!

A few years ago I took over my mother’s affairs. She got very sick and had to enter a nursing home. There were some issues with family members and I had no idea how to deal with it. So I contacted R. Thomas Murphy & Associates. They saw me within a few days. I was put at ease immediately, Jared Childers, along with Susan Barlap and Tracy. They got me on track and handled things excellent.. I have referred them to many people..very thankful for their professional knowledge of elder care..Put me at peace with everything that came along the way with handling my moms affairs.   Thank You!!!!

Mr. Murphy and his staff of elder care specialist….Barb Stefanic, Cindy Sherman, and Sally at the Waynesboro office have been wonderful to work with. We didn’t know how to begin when it was time to look into long term care for our parents. They have been there each step of the way to guide and help us!! Thank you so much!!

Everyone was very helpful in making our decisions and would recommend Amy Younker to be the contact person. She was kind and understanding the goals we were trying to reach.

I could not be happier with the level of service I have received. Missy has been terrific in helping me navigate the financial waters of elder care for my mother. Another family member also used Thomas Murphy for elder care advice a few years ago and had the same great experience. I highly recommend them.
