Firm Profile
Welcome to the Law Offices of Michael Kevin Murphy. For 27 years, the firm has been conveniently located in the City of Fairfax in Northern Virginia, close to the Fairfax County Courthouse and other local Virginia courts.

With an honored and powerful legal background, a technologically sophisticated office environment, and a responsive staff, Mr. Murphy’s office is uniquely well-qualified to serve its family law clients around the world.

Mr. Murphy's family law drafting and negotiations practice includes: premarital agreements; marital and property settlement agreements; parenting plans and child custody agreements; orders to the Defense Finance and Accounting Service to divide military retired pay and award survivor benefits; orders suitable for processing by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management to divide CSRS and FERS retirement benefits; and qualified domestic relations orders (QDRO’s) to divide retirement benefits under ERISA.
