Pat Murphy Law Offices - Lancaster, California

Jean Gutierrez

Be sure Pat Murphy is OK and taking cases. The first time I used her she was superb, answered communications, and won my case. This time I have contacted her repeatedly, when is the court date, and a few other very important questions, by voice mail, email, and fax FOR TWO WEEKS. No response. I realize things can happen but a response takes a few minutes and 1) STOPS repeat communications from concerned and scared clients and 2) shows good character and business acumen. I am not well and have to drive to Lancaster from Bakersfield to ask peace officers to do a wellness check. She could be on her office floor comatose or dead. Or being held captive, as this DOES happen to women. Most clients would not care. I do.

UPDATE: Murphy abandoned me. Backed out of my September 17, 2024 court date. Told me to contact her September 30, 2024 for new court date and time, and replacement attorney. Mine is a simple email to answer. Has, as is typical, ignored me. The irony is she displays the exact same behavior as the Plaintiff. Abuse of power, and ignoring legitimate questions. Then whines I send "too many" emails. Be scared. Be VERY scared. How a professional handles personal and professional things during adversity, speaks volumes. TOLD ME SHE HAS TO BACK OFF HER PRACTICE, YET SHOWS AS OPEN EXCEPT THURSDAYS.

First I only left one star because I had to or else it would be no stars, This attorney is a joke. Rude, unprofessional and understaffed. She claims she will reschedule interviews then never does then goes to court and makes recommendations without a proper interview being done with the child. PLEASE hire a DIFFERENT attorney.

Definitely hire Pat Murphy if you want the best! Pat Murphy is the most caring and supportive attorney out there. She understands the law and it is very noticeable that she is given a lot of respect by other attorneys. Her communication is very clear and has an excellent track record and reputation with the judges. Pat was the lead attorney in my divorce and, in the end, all parties were satisfied and appreciative of her hard work. Pat REALLY cared about me as a client. IMHO, If you want the best attorney in the Antelope Valley, contact Pat Murphy. You will be happy you did.

Despite some of the bad comments. I hired Pat Murphy for a family law case with my ex-husband for my two kids in which without her I would have never even probably had come close to actually receiving what was granted to me. She did an AMAZING JOB!! and I would hire her again if need be no questions asked. she answered all my questions which i always had so many, either by email or phone call. she would meet with me after work or on weekends if i was unable to come in. If your looking for a caring knowledgeable attorney Pat is the one!!!!

VERY VERYYY LAZY office from the assistant to "lawyer". I Understand she is just a public defendant but my god the quality of her service was insanely low! We would contact both her and her assistant and wouldn't get a response for sometimes weeks. And when we would finally get to her and ask her why we haven't got a response she would get VERY passive aggressive and claim she never received anything from us and more so make it seem like it's our fault not hers. She would claim she was always busy and it did seem like it because she would never pay any attention but if that was the case stop taking cases! Especially if u can't give quality attention like pat Murphy and her office never could. She was always passive aggressive with us hardly offered a "service" at all. But was very punctual to charge the judge at the court for literally the bare minimum effort. If you care about your family dont allow this office to take your case! She will not pay any attention to your family and will form her own opinions without any real interactions with the family! BEWARE! hope I don't get a passive aggressive response on here!

Ms Murphy was an Amazing lawyer and I have recommended her to other clients which are also satisfied with her work. She was very understanding and help me with my child custody case, divorce and relocation. She was hands on and very professional with my case. I wish I can give her more stars . She help so much .

I retained Pat Murphy last October. I saw her twice (initial free consult and to sign the petition) and paid her $1000 retainer and almost $500 to file a petition for divorce - uncontested and no property or kids - I have never heard from her since. I have gone to her office 4 times and called more tan 15 times to date. She is never there and the office girls (different one almost every time) tell me they will leave messages or said that they sent her a text that I had called to get any information on my case. The court cashed my check on 12/24 and filed the petition on 12/27. But NOTHING has been done since. NOTHING! I am at a loss because she has never returned any of my calls or been in her office any time I have gone in. I've never heard of this type of issue with any other lawyer making $1000 to file a 2 page document and then never getting back to their client. I'm out that money and STILL married!!!!!
