As a former prosecutor, Stefanie knows what to expect at every stage of the legal process. She will quickly identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and determine how to use them to produce a positive outcome for you. Remember, you are innocent until proven guilty, and the standard of proof in a criminal case is a high one: beyond a reasonable doubt. It is her job to use the evidence, or lack thereof, to create that doubt―a job she takes very seriously and performs effectively.
If the evidence is particularly weak, she can sometimes persuade the prosecutor not to file charges at all, or if charges have already been filed, to reduce them or drop them entirely; or she may be able to negotiate participation in a diversion program that will prevent you from having a criminal record. If it is in your best interest to take your case to trial, Stefanie has the courtroom skills and persuasive manner to gain the trust of the jury, an important characteristic when your future is hanging in the balance and you need an acquittal.

Best Lawyer I’ve Ever Had
February 2019
I was wrongfully accused of a crime I did not commit and my wife’s friend recommended Stefanie. I contacted her for a consultation and I loved the fact that there were no judgments or assumptions and thankfully there was also evidence. She was direct of how she would be able to help me and she is a very down to earth human being. She took the case and went immediately to work and I appreciated her commitment. I went to trial and I’m thankful to God for sending her because I was found not guilty. She is a hardworking and very wonderful lawyer! She is the only lawyer I would want to hire. Thank you for everything Stefanie! Your the best!

Stefanie is an amazing Lawyer! We were so happy to have hired her as our attorney. My husband was wrongfully accused of sexual assault and was sent to trial. Once we consulted with her, she was very direct and helpful in answering any questions we had. Day and night she was committed to his case, she was well prepared and worked really hard. She is the first lawyer that we meet that is so passionate about her job. My husband was found not guilty so thank you so much Stefanie! You are the best!

I would give ten stars if i could
Ms. Murphy is without a doubt, hands down, the best Attorney I could have possibly hired to represent me. My legal problems in Rhode Island were complex and not easy to unravel.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Ms. Murphy was by my side and did not give up until the absolute best possible outcome was reached for me with regard to all matters. She is honest, tenacious, respected, and keeps the best interest of her clients her number one priority in every situation.
At times, I never thought I was going to get through my legal problems in Rhode Island due to the overwhelming endeavors by law enforcement, the court, and state to impose such harsh punitive measures against me.
It’s over now, and the outcome is just, fair, and forthright.
Stefanie A Murphy is an amazing Attorney; if I could give ten stars I could.

Thank you, you changed my life
From a client who had an old outstanding criminal matter in Rhode Island. This client left his home and Rhode Island and never felt that he could come back home until now. After the Law Offices of Stefanie A. Murphy resolved the old case, the client writes:
” Just wanted you to know my family and I are going on our first road trip to ….. and then to RI to see my family in two weeks. This first leisurely trip without looking over my shoulder in 25 years…I’ll never forget how much you helped me and made it possible. Thank you.
The client then goes on to write two months later:
“This summer I was in your area for a job interview in Boston that went great. I left in tears of joy because my past seemed to be just that. My resume spoke for itself…it gave me a lot of hope….. I never dreamed my life would give us this opportunity which you played a significant part of. I will never forget what you did for me. Moving back “home” will be one of the happiest days of my life and once again I wanted to say thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I only wish all of your clients could appreciate you as much as my family and I do.”

Stefanie was wonderful.
I was out of state when a problem arose with a family member. She called me back immediately and explained what could happen and how it should be handled. It was so good to know we were not alone in this. Stefanie went to court and the matter was resolved in our favor!! A great attorney and a nice person too. Perfect. I would recommend her to anyone.

Professional, knowledgeable and compassionate!
Stefanie addressed my matter in a timely manner with a favorable outcome. She was always attentive in returning calls. I truly did not feel like I was in this situation alone, she was a true advocate! Fees were very fair and reasonable. Lots of attorneys out there these days, but not many give the personal time and attention and fight for fairness for you, like Stefanie did!

I cannot praise Stefanie Murphy’s advocacy skills highly enough.
When I first met Stefanie, I liked her immediately and felt she was sincerely concerned about my grandson’s case. She always responded in a timely manner and was extremely helpful in explaining how the court systems, prosecutors, and police departments conduct business. She was poised, confident, and persistent in negotiations. I am so glad we hired Stefanie!

Stefanie quickly settled a personal injury claim regarding a no-fault car accident that had been dragging on for almost a year. She was quick to respond to any issues or questions throughout the whole process and the settlement was resolved very quickly! I highly recommend Stefanie!
