Ward & Murphy is a general practice law firm with a main office in Groton, New York and a satellite office in Ithaca, New York.  We are "real lawyers serving real people" - - we use our legal training to focus on practical solutions to legal issues for people who are engaged in the business of ordinary life.  We focus on bringing our services to people who live in Tompkins, Cortland and Cayuga Counties in New York State. 

Our clients include people from all walks and stages of life:  young people, couples just starting out, entrepreneurs, senior citizens.   

Our philosophy is to practice law in such a way that clients can trust us to learn a client's needs, to give accurate answers, to produce accurate document and to finish our work on time.  We work with our clients as a team focused on successfully resolving challenges, whether it is a unique solution to conflict or an innovative solution to a problem. As a firm, we trust each other to stay on deadline, to communicate clearly and to work cooperatively and collaboratively to improve ourselves and our clients, both as professionals and as people.

We created this website to answer some of your questions about our services, our personnel and some of your basic questions about area courts.  If you have suggestions for our site, please e-mail them to Liam Murphy at:

We also look forward to you visiting our office.  We are pleased to have work by local artists on display (and available for sale) in our reception area in a partnership with the Thou Art Gallery (www.thouart-gallery.com).  Currently, our display includes work by David Beale of Cortland and Amy Hnatko.
