I highly recommend this firm.  You don’t really think about elder law issues until you are faced with a difficult situation. I have experience with this firm in dealing with three different relatives.  They are knowledgeable and listen before they make recommendations.  They have been available for consultation via phone when the situation warranted it.  In all three cases, they have helped us navigate through all the required paperwork and processes. If the need should arise, I would use them again.

My family and I have been working with Tom Murphy over the years. Over the past few months, the contact and work has increased while working on my dad’s estate. At a stressful time, dealing with questions and paperwork, Barb Henicle has done a fabulous job in meeting our needs. She’s been available for calls, emails and office visits. It’s just a matter of bringing an item to her attention and she’s able to take over from there. I really appreciate her efforts. The task of paperwork and resolving issues would be more daunting without her help and input. Tom has a great, professional office that is ready to help when needed.

My siblings and I made a wise choice in selecting R. Thomas Murphy’s law firm to represent us in the handling of our mother’s estate. After our first two meetings, we realized we were in very capable hands, those of Attorney Jared Childers and his estate assistant, Amanda Langland. Our initial questions were thoroughly answered, and helpful suggestions were made.

Most of the remainder of our meetings were conducted by Amanda.  She was very knowledgeable, professional, and sensitive to the recent loss of our Mother. Amanda was punctual, organized, and informative. Meetings were planned to accommodate our schedules, and our phone calls were returned in a timely manner. We always felt Amanda had our best interest at heart.

We are so grateful to Tom Murphy, Barb Stefanic, Tammy and Cindy for their caring assistance and direction over the years.  Knowing that we made the best decisions possible for our loved ones (with the support of this office) is very important and comforting for our family. Thank you!

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.

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!!!
