Mary Murray and her team did a stellar job representing me and my case; which brought along many challenges and speed bumps. Rest assured, if you listen and follow Mary’s wise counsel you will be in the best hands.

Chelsea Harrison, who started around the time my case began, jumped into her new position supported Mary with easy and action. With Chelsea’s experience in Charleston and being familiar with the local court system, she was very knowledgeable and responsive.

I would highly recommend Mary Murray Law Firm.

My experience having Mary J. Murray represent me with my divorce case has been nothing short of amazing, when I first met Mary and we went over my case just talking to her for a few minutes made me feel like she would be the right person to represent me and my best interests, I felt she was the right attorney, my divorce was a complicated one, including child custody, visitation, alimony, child support, marital share of assets, and many other issues that came along, Mary was always available via phone or e-mail to answer any questions or concerns I had during the whole process, I trusted her and the results she has delivered along the process have been above anything I could've ever asked for, Mary and Kami are a great team, I am so greatful to have had such an amazing lawyer represent me, I will highly recommend Mary J Murray and her paralegal Kami to any of my friends and family and to anyone else out there looking for an amazing Lawyer

Mary stood beside me and fought for my child as if she were her own. It was reassuring to know that a lawyer will take on a case with the same passion as if it were her own child and give so much of herself both professionally and personally. She makes sure the opposing side never forgets that the child is the most important aspect of the case. If I had it to do all over again, I would choose Mary Murray over and over again.

Mary Murray is an exceptional attorney who goes above and beyond for her clients. She is aggressive and no nonsense in the courtroom, yet compassionate and helpful on a personal level. I highly recommend her for anyone going through a divorce or the agonizing fight for their children.

Thank you for being awesome and fighting for the well being of my children and me! It’s hard to see the big picture in the middle of an emotional mess but Mary and Chelsea guided me through it all. Mary said at the end of this you have to come back together and co-parent, that advice is key for the children. My ex ended up firing his attorney because she only made matters worse, you could tell she was only concerned about getting as much money as possible.
With Mary on your team you have someone that cares, has integrity, results and an amazing reputation with her peers and the court.

Mary is very easy to work with and is on top of her game! She doesn't allow bullying from opposing attorneys. She has many years of experience and it shows again and again through the process. She carries herself with elegance, while enforcing her position. She is forward thinking and positions herself to WIN. I highly recommend Mary!

Mary Murray is THE attorney to go to for any custody or visitation related issues. I've relied on her twice now. During both of these times, her brilliance, empathy, communication, and results were all more than I could've asked for. When faced with a difficult and heart wrenching set of circumstances, Mary is gifted at helping a person understand the "what's, when's, and how's" of the process and what options are available to you. For me, she enabled me to feel empowered instead of immobilized by fear...and that is a WONDERFUL feeling!!

Mary is outstanding. Goes beyond the call of duty. Strategic and smart. Fair and responsible with your money. A top notch attorney with a Poison Pen.
I trust her completely. The one who fights for you. Not like the bogus adds by the side of the road.
She’s got your back.

If you want a family attorney that stands behind father's rights and gives you a 110% than Mary is the attorney for you! Mary's passion to win was evident the very 1st session I had with her.She promplty responds back to all calls and emails within a few hours giving back immediate feedback.

Mary fought for me and won! Without her help I would not have had more time with my precious son. Mary is a pitbull that will fight tooth and nail for you. She doesn't nickel and dime you for her time. Mary came highly recommended by several of my close friends and colleagues. Thank you for everything you have done for me, I would recommend Mary to anyone who has a difficult road ahead of them. With Mary Murray at the wheel, you will get through this hardship as I did.

Mary and her team of professionals were extremely helpful throughout the litigation process. They talked us through what to expect and helped us gather pertinent information leading up to the court date. She was very professional in front of the judge and presented our case with confidence and authority. My divorce and subsequent custody battle had about as many curveballs thrown thrown at them as was humanly possible, yet we still came out far ahead of where we had hoped to, and I was able to keep my family together. I highly recommend Mary and her staff to anyone looking for an honest, tough, professional attorney as representation, no matter the uniqueness of your particular situation.

I was referred to Mary Murray after a bad 1st custody order and a second temporary order. There were a lot of moving parts from start to finish, that were very challenging at times.Mary jumped right in with a positive attitude and ways to perfect the items and details of the case. She and her staff worked diligently spelling out the details of the overall story line in our custody case making it work best for my child's stability and emotional state. She was genuinely interested in our concerns, emotions and fears through out the case.She treats us with kindness, compassion and has excellent knowledge of the steps we need to follow with our case to the proper end, She is not like any of the other family lawyers i have encountered who are just out to sling mud at other attorneys or jack up their fees. Mary asks for your input on the major issues and creates a competitive strategy that will work you and your family. I trust her and know that she cares for my family so I will never choose a different family law attorney!! She is a remarkable human being!

Mary insisted I had a slam dunk case and that I was in the best possible position prior to paying my retainer. Almost immediately after it was paid, her tone changed completely saying I had almost no case and would be at the mercy of the defendant.
When we did go to trial, she seemed very nervous in front of the judge and left out key details. Very slow at returning messages if she bothers to respond at all.

Mary Murray is a very highly regarded and well respected family law attorney in Charleston. I would recommend her highly to anybody. She is a great choice as a family law mediator and a formidable opponent in Court.

Mary is an intelligent and exceptional lawyer. I received immediate responses and help, often on the weekend or late hours. Mary and Kami are knowledgeable, kind, understanding and always on top of every problem. It was a high-conflict divorce and she handled it very professionally with lots of guidance and support. Mary listens, is fair and honest - the communication is phenomenal. She fought for me and my boys every step of the way from initial consultation to final agreement to even post settlement agreement. Mary also fought and won for us to relocate out-of-state which has allowed me and my children to live a healthier life. She has proven to be much more than a lawyer, in that she brings a wonderful sensitivity to the legal, business, and emotional aspects with her clients. I can't say enough about Mary - me and my children are very fortunate to have found her.

I have never met an attorney who cares so much for their client and the outcome of their case as much as Ms. Murray. I was served on a Saturday night with an emergency hearing scheduled five days later. I contacted Ms. Murray late Tuesday afternoon for an extensive phone consultation as I live in North Carolina and she promptly took on my extremely complex case that same afternoon knowing court was on Thursday morning. Ms. Murray and Kami worked all day Wednesday (after the other party refused a continuance) well into the night and early Thursday morning before court at 9am. My ex-husband and his attorney were extremely difficult, made outrageous and unreasonable claims as well as demands, and I was certain that this would be a drawn-out, complicated and extremely expensive case. Ms. Murray cut through all of the issues like a knife. Due to her intelligence, determination and aggressiveness she had my case dismissed the same day. She has been the most thorough and professional attorney that I have ever worked with.

Mary and her team not only saved my children but saved me a lifetime of endless court battles. One of the most difficult situations I have ever seen in family court and Mary handled it with professionalism and knew how to expedite the process. I would truly recommend her to anyone. My HERO!!

Mary Murray was highly recommended to me based on her family law experience when I was looking for a divorce attorney to represent me and the best interest of my children. Mary Murry and Kami Ruple are known for their professional excellence, for being highly qualified, and are well respected in our community.

As a client, I couldn’t agree more and could not have asked for a better team during a very trying time. Going through separation for the first time, there were so many unknowns, variables and obstacles, and I had many questions. Mary and Kami were great at explaining the law in a way that I could easily understand it, made recommendations that were in my family’s best interest and based on their experience, and made me feel confident during a very uncertain time.

Mary Murray and Kami Ruple have exceeded my expectations and I would recommend them to family and friends - they are extremely knowledgeable, relentless, hardworking, and their willingness and passion to help is unparalleled.

I highly recommend Mary to anyone searching for an intelligent and extremely competent divorce attorney. She's a brilliant strategist, not at all afraid to fight, yet balances the strategies with sound, common sense advice. Throughout my case, Mary helped me see past the emotions and guided me toward negotiating solutions that were obtainable as well as very beneficial to my future. Kami is also excellent, responsive and proactive. Together they make a great team. Believe me, you want these ladies in your corner!

I will refer everyone to Mary Murray...she is completely dedicated to her work and very passionate. Mary and her paralegal, Kami are absolutely amazing on keeping me up to date and helped me every step of the way. She came HIGHLY recommended from another attorney and I'm incredibly grateful for her and Kami. They believed in me and my journey and helped me to succeed and reach my goal in regards to my legal battle. I couldn't think of a better pair to work with. I'm blessed to have Mary Murray on my side! ❤

After discovering our first attorney had done almost no work with one month before a custody trial, we visited two other attorneys. After 5 minutes with Mary Murray we knew we had found the attorney we needed. With almost no time to prepare (and a lot of great help from her assistant Kami), Mary put together a case that resulted in us obtaining permanent custody of a grandchild. We could not have been happier and we would not hesitate to recommend Mary Murray to anyone for family related legal matters. Thank you Mary and Kami.

Mary J. Murray is an excellent attorney and without hesitation I have and will continue to refer anyone seeking a family law attorney directly to her for assistance. She came highly recommended from multiple sources; including local attorney’s whose rates of service were outside my price range.

I NEVER had an issue receiving feedback or a response from Mary J. Murray or her wonderful paralegal, Kami. I was treated with the utmost respect and received prompt responses via email or phone directly from Mary or via her paralegal. I’ve never left a review for anything or anyone online, but her service, counseling, professionalism, encouragement, and legal expertise were an invaluable gift during a very difficult time.

In fact, she was such a wonderful attorney that when my ex-husband went through his own second divorce, he sought her for his own representation!

I don’t know that a better statement can be made on the absolute professionalism, fairness, and legal acumen that both Mary and her staff deliver.

As you can see from her online reviews, she is both an excellent attorney and a force to contend with for the opposing party.

My personal experience with Mary Murray began when I was beyond frustrated after interviewing several attorneys who wouldn’t listen to my personal needs and I felt alone. Mary met with me on short notice and allowed me to explain my situation. I felt like she truly listened and provided me with the opportunity to make sense of the situation I was facing and made suggestions based on her expertise. From the very beginning, Mary, Kami and I connected and I felt that her values and personality matched what I needed to guide me through the tumultuous year. Obviously, divorce is a very emotional time and she was mindful of my feelings and my son’s needs. She was quick to explain how she could be of assistance and her recommended approach. Mary took control of my situation when I was undoubtedly trying to manage myself and my son's personal affairs.

Mary and Kami both are strong women who demonstrate a level of professionalism with a compassion for their clients—knowing that they are on "my team" allows me time to work on my personal healing and they handle the legal details. I always feel like Mary has my best interest at the center of her approach even when I am uncertain—her attitude helped me find my backbone and restored my personality that I had been stolen from me during a bad marriage.

She started out by agreeing to handle my divorce and custody and accepted my money. A month goes by she had yet to contact my ex's attorney to give notice that she was representing me. So she does this and contacts ex's attorney. Ex's attorney responds to her letter ASAP (within 2 days) and she never shares this with me. Not only that but another 4 months pass without any communication with me. I then called her office to see if I owed any money (never received an invoice!) or what the deal was. Paralegal, Kami, says she will ask Marry and call me back. Another 4 days pass and I send Mary an email asking what the problem is and why she hasn't responded? No response. I call again and get the voice mail so I left a message that if she doesn't respond I will file a complaint with the SC Bar Association. Still nothing. I call the office again and Kami tells me she needs to check with Mary and will call me back. The next day I received an email from Kami stating, "I have spoken with Mary, and unfortunately due to her not finishing a week long trial the week of the bad winter weather, she is now rescheduled for this trial to continue in March. Therefore due to her schedule, she is not going to be able to take your case at this time. Attached is an invoice which includes the charges to date. Being that you have paid $XXXX to date, we owe you a refund of $XXXX. Please let me know to what address we should mail this refund check.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we look forward to hearing back from you regarding the address for the refund check."

STAY AWAY FROM THIS ATTORNEY! You will waste your money and your time! So, I am now filing an official complaint with the SC Bar Association.
