Best Family Law Practice in all of SD County. They get the job done, and never make you feel like just another client. I actually felt reinvigorated, confident and smiling after each appointment. With other attorneys, I'd leave very disappointed and feel worse than when I entered the appointment. They have the experience and the teamwork to get things done properly. read more

Feuerstein, Murphy, and Beals in general, and Michelle Murphy specifically, are exactly who you want to be on your side representing you. I've had the unfortunate experience of being in the Family Law Courts in my one case for a wide range of Family Law matters (child support, custody, school of choice, move-away, etc.), so I have some experience. Michelle was my second attorney, and I've sat opposed to five different attorneys... so I've seen a good mix of how different attorney's can range in competence levels and styles, while also observing how those attributes can impact your case. In my experience, you want an attorney that has integrity, intellect, responsiveness, sharpness, moral character, proactive, willingness to listen and advise you against yourself, attention to detail, aptitude to learn the complexities of your case, and the ability to effectively communicate your case strongly but tactfully in writing and verbally in court. You want to have the confidence to know that your attorney has given you their best and that their best is the best; and that they've thoughtfully/attentively presented your case to the court, thereby giving you the best chance of the court making the right decision. You'll get all of those things from Michelle and this Family Law Practice (they work as a team). I can't say this sincerely enough, this is the attorney and practice that you want by your side. read more

In August of this year, my divorce turned ugly and I was served with a restraining order that alleged domestic violence. The accusations were completely false, and Michelle Murphy, Esq., knew exactly what to do. Her, and the staff of FMB Law, couldn't have been any better! Michelle told me something that I remember to this day. She said, "This will be a marathon, not a sprint." I wanted to do the best I could to have the TRO dropped during the first court date, but she told me we needed to request a continuance so we could put together the my response correctly to have the order completely dismissed. It worked! After five really difficult weeks, I got my sons back and my house. My ex-wife ended up having to move out of our house and life is back to normal for me. No amount of money can be placed on that. Thank you, Michelle! read more

Although one would hope to never need a family law attorney regrettably sometimes you do. I worked with Richard Feuerstein, Bruce Beals and staff. They were always attentive and informative regarding my situation. Not to get into my personal situation, I can say I strongly recommend them without hesitation. I feel it would be an egregious mistake on your part not to consider them for your legal needs. IMHO read more

I have used Mr. Feuerstein's services many times over the last 20+ years and would not hesitate to refer friends to him. He is very knowledge in divorce issues and family law, including child support. read more

I dont know where to start.. My husband is a retired pro boxer. He now has dementia. Michelle and her staff have been amazing. He's had issues from divorce to child support and Michelle has helped him with all of it. When he and I met he no longer had his power of attorney to help him and no money for a new lawyer. I contacted Michelle and no questions asked, she allowed me to pay payments monthly and she is still getting the mess cleaned up for us. I really don't know where I'd be without her and Linda:). I was trying to file all the paperwork for him on my own and it was no use. Almost three years went by. Now, all is being taken care of by Michelle Murphy and her firm...I've looked back on my husbands Cases and dealings with the lawyers, accountants, etc, in his life... All were just milking him dry and nothing in return. Not Michelle and her partners, and staff. I feel they truly care for us and my husbands well being. It's really good to know there are still people like this in the world. My husband fought to the death most of his life. When I hear him say "not to worry, Michelle always looked out for me" i feel so much better. No more stress. And now I don't worry... With all the other stuff I manage for my husband it's really good to know that this case isn't something for me to worry about. read more

When I found myself going through a very unexpected divorce, I was referred by a friend to Rich Feuerstein of Feuerstein & Murphy. One of the best referrals I've ever received. From the initial consultation and throughout the following months, I found Mr. Feuerstein to be not only well informed and in possession of a sound strategy, but also genuinely friendly and supportive. Although the law office is apparently a very busy one, I never felt like "just another case" and my emails and phone calls were always returned promptly. Now, years after the conclusion of my divorce, I've had to request some documentation from Feuerstein & Murphy and was reminded again how everyone in the office--from the receptionist to the paralegals to Mr. Feuerstein himself--is extremely helpful. I readily refer Rich Feuerstein to anyone entering the divorce process read more

I had a consultation with Rich Feuerstein regarding my domestic violence case and pursuing a restraining order as I have no idea what to do since I have never been in this situation. Rich was very understanding and informative of what I should do in pursuing my restraining order on my son's father. He even gave me a number to a private process server to help me serve him the restraining order since my son's fathers address is unknown. Rich even asked me to keep in contact him regarding this and reminded to be careful. He is an family law attorney who actually cares about his client's and I would recommend him to everyone! Thank you. I am very appreciative and am glad I came to you for this issue. This isn't something easy to go through so I'm glad you made me feel comfortable enough to confide in you. read more

I cannot give a more genuine and supportive endorsement of Rich Feuerstein as my divorce attorney. From a legal perspective, it quickly became evident Rich is incredibly experienced and knowledgeable, with years of practice and a deep understanding of divorce law (and he has the degrees, awards and accolades to attest to this). He was candid in outlining the potential outcomes during each step of the process and I was always fully informed and understood where we stood in each situation, communication and ruling. During our meetings, Rich would first ask questions, listen to my response and then provide thoughtful feedback and suggestions. He takes a sincere, personal interest in his clients as well. When we would receive an unfair request from the opposing attorney/ex-wife, he would start with "now I'm beginning to get mad," and then detail our legitimate objection. Rich is defensive of his clients and knows how and when to be firm and resolved in his position. And of course, Rich always kept in mind what was in the best interest of my children. In additional to his legal expertise, another critical reason why I give Rich my 100% recommendation was how he helped me through the divorce process. As we know, divorce is a challenging, difficult and trying time in one's personal life with a host of powerful emotions. Dealing with the legal and financial aspect only increases the level of stress and tension. Interacting with your attorney should not contribute to that pressure. Fortunately, there was not a single call with Rich that I didn't come away feeling better and more confident about my situation. He would always make himself available for a quick chat, even if his schedule were booked. Rich gave me much needed (and essential) peace-of-mind throughout the legal process so that I could focus my attention on my children and myself. This was critical to getting through the divorce - it cannot be understated in importance. You would be doing yourself a disservice if you don't have a conversation with Rich. He was so good; he almost made me want to get another divorce so I can work with him again. Almost. read more

If I could give them 10 stars I would. Rich Feuerstein and his team are what I would consider to be stellar professionals, and experts at their trade. I interviewed 6 different attorneys. After meeting with Rich, I left the office saying "that's my guy" and never regretted the decision. His expertise and decisiveness gave me peace of mind at every dip of the roller coaster. His strategy was always sound but flexible with a constant changing situation. And for me, I will forever be grateful for he and his team being available, and not making me feel like I was alone in the situation. Rich and his team always made me fee like they had my back, and shared a goal of finding resolution, not billable hours. I was preparing myself for a long drawn out battle, but thankfully reached resolution in a few months. He and his firm have my gratitude and highest recommendation. read more

We went to Rich looking for help getting child support for my fiance ' s son and other family law help. He and his office staff were Johnny - on - the - spot for everything we needed. Calls were returned very quickly and he was able to get us all the help we were looking for. I would recommend them to anyone looking for help with any "ex" or "soon to be ex" issues. read more

Was referred to Rich Feurestein by a well respected civil attorney. As anybody that has been in this position I was incredibly nervous and upset. Meet with Rich and within our first meeting was amazed all the things he was able to inform me of. He took the time to explain how it all worked. I immediately hired him and he and his staff did an incredible job to keep cost under control by all of their knowledge and experience in family law. If you are looking for an experienced family law attorney who is well respected even amongst his colleagues I would highly recommend his firm to get thru this uncomfortable situation. I give also a high recommendation to his staff; specifically Maricris and Christina read more
