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!

Where do I begin…..When my brother passed suddenly in June 2015,  the journey through navigating as executrix couldn’t have been done without the help of Jarod and Barb – Angels that helped us walk through a difficult time. Always responsive, and guiding us through some bumpy times with family, making sure that everything was done by the book, and really standing as my champion in the face of family pressure… They stood behind me 110% and for that I am so grateful. I would give this firm 10 stars if I could!!!! Thank you Jarod and Barb!!!  These two make an unstoppable team!!!

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!

I cannot say enough good about this firm. My lawyer, Jared Childers is the best. The staff that supports him, Susan Barlup, Linda Brantner, & Sally to name a few have been nothing but AWESOME! Helping me thru the death of my dad was a godsend & then taking care of my mom as her health slowly fades. My questions are endless and the paperwork overwhelming but they are nothing but professional, helpful, patient, caring & always there for me either by phone or e mail. I could not do this without them.

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!!!!

My sister and I have had a great experience working with this firm in administering our fathers estate.  Jared Childers walked us through the process and Barb Henicle has been particularly helpful in handling all of the administrative paperwork required. She has been terrific! I highly recommend this firm.
