Probate issues

Mr Patrick Murphy helped me navigate a difficult probate issue where my sister went back on her word and signed agreement. His professional manner helped me immensely and he was always available to answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend his services.

Best Decision Of My Life Was to Use Patrick Murphy at Darwins

5

.... Just wonderful service, support, explanations and advice throughout.
Patrick was easy to talk to, always approachable, always contactable and non judgmental.
Accurate, quick advice provided at initial inquiry phone call stage which constantly continued right through until the final bill was paid.
Exquisite! What else can I say? Patrick at Darwin did not take one wrong step! My problematic case was turned around and settled within just over 6 months!

Patrick Murphy was first introduced to me via a local solicitor.

Within a few minutes of my initial email, Patrick called me. I was struck by his knowledge, professionalism and assurance. The continued communication was outstanding, every email was detailed, factual and exactly what I needed to understand.

Personally, I strive precision and accuracy, this was exactly the service and support I received.

In a world where we face corruption, exploitation and injustice, it was incredibly refreshing to gain insight into the highest of standards of Patrick Murphy and his colleagues.

Thankyou so very much.

Exceptional Advice , Representation Service

5

The team at Darwin Gray pulled out all the stops to deliver fantastic representation for me at the last minute.
Their communication and attention to detail are exceptional, I cannot thank Patrick, Nicole and George, my barrister ,enough.
I was fortunate Darwin Gray where around when I needed legal advice and representation the most, even the costs where within the forecast.
Much appreciated.

Darwin Gray Support related to a 'Contra Charge'

5

Patrick assisted my business with a previous client who was claiming damages for a supposed error during a construction project. I contact Darwin Grey after receiving a letter from a Solicitors claiming substantial, unfounded costs. I passed this on to Patrick who dealt with this swiftly and provided me a very professional and accurate response. We never heard from them again! Great work Patrick.

Patrick Murphy of Darwin Gray has been very professional and understanding of the pressures on the client in difficult circumstances. He has been very thorough, working patiently without being pushy. He quickly grasps complexities in situations and offers advice I found very helpful. Also he was a calming influence in a very troubling situation and he brought this to a very successful conclusion
