Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm incredibly thankful to Lauren Jacobson for taking the time to speak with me twice, during two big moments in my career. The first call came after an unexpected layoff, when I needed help strategizing next steps. The second was about a last-minute change to a new job offer, and I wasn't sure how to approach it. Lauren was extremely generous with her time and thoughtful in her replies, offering guidance and perspective during both conversations, entirely pro bono. While I can’t speak to her legal services beyond those calls, I deeply appreciated her willingness to help, her calm demeanor, and the clarity she offered at a pivotal moment in my career. Thank you again, Lauren!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Im so thankful for Joseph C. Maya exceptional legal service.

What our clients are saying
So very grateful for Maya Murphy. Not only did their lawyers quickly respond to my inquiry, but they informed me of many options I was not aware of regarding my concern and questions on educational law. I found them to be open, attentive, interested, caring, transparent, and extremely knowledgeable. My husband is a lawyer, but does not practice education law. We were very fortunate to connect with Maya Murphy, the authorities in this area, who go the extra distance to be helpful and thorough. They’re the law firm to turn to if you want a dedicated team supporting you!
I CAME TO MAYA MURPHY IN DISTRESS and left relieved…
I COULDN’T BE HAPPIER with my decision to work with Maya Murphy…
Dan and Ruth have been incredible. They are always responsive, considerate and professional. The divorce process has been the scariest thing I have ever faced in my life. I truly would not have been able to handle this without their guidance and representation. I am beyond grateful for their patience and understanding.
The team at Maya Murphy PC are excellent. They are client driven and work diligently and effectively to meet their client’s goals. They are responsive to their clients needs and requests.
I consulted with Lauren Jacobson to receive professional guidance on Connecticut Probate Court and whether or not the estate I was Executor for needed to go through probate. Lauren responded quickly to my email inquiry, addressed all of my questions, was courteous and professional in sharing her expertise in the area of estate settlement, the deceased’s assets, and the tasks the Executor is responsible for.
Maya Murphy did a nice job with my son’s car accident. They guided us through the whole process, were very professional, and also had a nice personal touch. Thanks for a job well done!
