"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stephanie Murphy is absolutely amazing! I came to her last minute after LegalShield completely dropped the ball, leaving me facing SIX moving violations, an unfriendly officer, and the possibility of losing my license for six months. She didn’t let the tough situation shake her—she’s incredibly knowledgeable about Rhode Island traffic laws and very familiar with how the courts operate, which made all the difference. Even with little time to prepare, her ability to think quickly on her feet and handle the case strategically got my SIX violations reduced to just TWO, and even those were lessened! Stephanie was professional, reassuring, and went above and beyond to help me. If you ever find yourself in a tough spot, she’s the lawyer you want on your side."

"I had a deeply disappointing experience with MARIN, BARRETT & MURPHY during my divorce, which ultimately led me to seek new legal representation. From the beginning, I felt unheard, unprotected, and at times, dismissed. I began to question whether they were truly advocating for my best interests or just trying to close the case as quickly as possible. One key issue arose when I expressed concerns about my abusive husband's unannounced visits to my home. I explained the situation to Stephanie and Jason, detailing my fears based on the history of abuse. I hoped for guidance and support, but Jason advised against pursuing a restraining order, saying it wasn't necessary. Feeling unsafe, I took the matter into my own hands and filed the order myself, which was granted by the court. At the hearing, Jason suggested multiple times that I drop the restraining order, stating it might make the case "easier." When he asked, in a manner that felt dismissive, if I understood the definition of "imminent danger," I realized that our perspectives were not aligned. Additionally, my concerns about my husband's alcoholism and how it affected my children seemed to be overlooked. At times, it felt like the safety and well-being of my children were not prioritized in our discussions. Since switching to a new lawyer, I feel genuinely heard and supported. My new attorney has taken the time to understand my concerns and is actively working to ensure the protection of both myself and my children during this difficult process."
