In his professional work as a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, Murray counsels clients, especially women, through divorce. By thoroughly analyzing his clients' assets in marriage and in post-divorce planning, Murray is able to help clients make smart financial decisions during the divorce process, and develop realistic and comprehensive financial plans.
Murray is an avid supporter of causes relating to domestic violence and other woman's issues. Murray states, "My interest in working with A Woman's Place stems from my experiences as a divorce financial planner, where I see the intimidation, threats, and bullying that many of my female clients have had to endure from their husbands," said Murray. "In most cases, divorce only brings to light a history of controlling behavior - or sometimes worse - which has shaped the married lives of these women." He continues, "It is my hope that my involvement on the board of directors can help make a difference in the lives of the women and their children who come to the organization for support and resources to help them escape their abusive pasts and move forward toward a brighter future."
