Tom and his staff have been assisting our family for many years — two generations, in fact. His wonderful assistant, Tammy Hodder, has always been a terrific help as well. We recommend their elder law legal services and advice to folks looking for quality, no nonsense legal counsel.

Thomas Murphy’s office simply saved me from a breakdown in trying to handle my moms needs! I seriously cried when I left their office because I knew that I had finally found the help that our family needed. It is stressful enough having to place  your mother in a nursing home but then having to deal with the financial end was something that I had never experienced. Tom and Susan took so much time with us explaining what needed to be done that first appointment. Since then Susan has undeniably been a godsend answering my many questions. She has always answered my emails or calls within minutes addressing the issue. I can’t imagine going through this without Susan! I have recommend the Thomas Murphy firm to anyone who will listen 🙂

So glad to know that there is a law firm that deals with elder law. It’s been a bit overwhelming for me . Susan Barlup and Linda Brantner have been wonderful helping me get things together for my mother to go through the Medicaid process. Thank you so much !!

When my Mother suffered a stroke in 2012 that required nursing home care I contacted R. Thomas Murphy regarding options to provide for her care. I meet with Jared and Barb S. and am very pleased with the advice given and the plan that is continuing to provide for Mom’s care. During the past six years I’ve dealt mainly with Barb S. but have on occasion dealt with both the Chambersburg and Waynesboro offices and have always received prompt, professional service from the staff. I highly recommend this firm for those seeking advice regarding Elder Care or Estate Planning.
