Kara presents a little sweet demeanor but that hides a tough tenacious tiger inside. A ten star Attorney as far as I am concerned. She has gone to bat twice for us and has proven herself by delivering two wins.

I couldn't be more pleased with the job Kara Murphy did representing me in a dispute I had with a roofing contractor. Her communication was always timely and knowledgeable. She got the matter settled in my favor. I would highly recommend her and her firm.

We found Kara and Lisa Hendrix very professional, supportive and detailed in the stressful decision to make a move to Florida. Our trust and business advice was excellent and we are very thankful they are our counsel.

Kara was extremely informative from the beginning. She didn't try to "eat up time" but explained everything thoroughly. During the whole process she made sure we had the right expectations and knew all of our potential out comes. She walked us through each scenarios to help us make the best informed decision. Her area is real estate and she knows it in and out even from the construction side!!!! I am every fortunate she was on my side of the table

I hired Kara Murphy to handle a complicated employment matter. She took the case with only days notice of the issue. Mrs. Murphy resolved the case quickly and professionally. I would recommend Mrs. Murphy without reservation.

I was lucky enough to have Kara Jursinski Murphy working on my lawsuit, without her I doubt we would have received such a huge settlement. Being an out of country client “Australia” she always had my best interests at heart, and keep me well informed during my lawsuit. If you want tough no BS attorney, then Kara Jursinski Murphy is the right attorney. I’m going to miss everyone at the firm as they always treated me as part of the family.

After interviewing a number of lawyers, I was able to eventually find Kara to help me with my mortgage deficiency case -- unlike others, she didn't make ridiculous promises just to get my business. Kara was realistic, honest, efficient, and seemed to have a good relationship with the opposing counsel that ultimately allowed us to come to a favorable settlement.
