Murphy & Dunn P.C.

Murphy Dunn is a family law practice based in Peoria, Illinois — the county seat of Peoria County and one of central Illinois's most significant legal and commercial centers. The firm provides comprehensive divorce and family law representation to clients throughout Peoria County and the greater Peoria metropolitan area, offering experienced counsel in all aspects of Illinois dissolution and domestic relations law. Peoria's historical significance as a barometer of American middle-class opinion and its continued importance as a regional economic center for central Illinois reflect the diverse client base that Murphy Dunn serves. From straightforward uncontested dissolutions to complex multi-asset cases involving business interests, real estate portfolios, and executive compensation packages, the firm brings focused expertise to each matter. Illinois's equitable distribution framework under 750 ILCS 5/503 gives courts significant discretion in dividing marital property, and Murphy Dunn's attorneys are experienced in identifying, valuing, and advocating for appropriate treatment of complex marital assets. The firm handles the full range of Illinois family law proceedings, including dissolution of marriage, marital property division, maintenance under both guideline and non-guideline analysis, and the allocation of parental responsibilities and parenting time under Illinois's 2016 reformed IMDMA framework. Murphy Dunn assists clients in both Peoria County Circuit Court and the surrounding judicial districts throughout central Illinois.
