I contacted R Thomas Murphy for help in planning for elder care for my mother. Susan Barlup and Tracy Hahn are very knowledgeable in elder law. Susan and Tracy made the process seamless. I would highly recommend them for your elder law needs.

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!

I was OVERWHELMED by the legalities involved with trying to handle my Mother’s affairs after extreme dementia set in.  The folks at R Thomas Murphy (Chambersburg Office) were a godsend!  From the first conversation with Susan B, I felt like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders!  She was knowledgeable, helpful, and easy to talk to.  She explained everything in a way I could understand.  Everyone there has been great to deal with, including the receptionist and Tracey who has been a great help too!  Thanks to you all!

Good people, with integrity and knowledge of the field.  They do the job with compassion and expertise at one of the most confusing and complex time in a family’s life.  They listen, explain and assist one through this difficult, confusing, emotional, and trying time. No legal jargon, explanations are done  in real English, with the work undertaken with understanding and patience.
