Block O’Toole & Murphy

Block O’Toole & Murphy is a leading personal injury law firm located in New York, serving all five boroughs of New York City as well as New York State and New Jersey.

We represent individuals and families of those who have been severely injured or even tragically killed as a result of another party’s negligence. Types of cases we take on include, but are not limited to:

We fight tirelessly for each and every dollar that our clients are legally entitled to. Our results speak for themselves: every year since 2012, we have achieved more reported results exceeding $1,000,000 than any other law firm in New York. In total, we have recovered over $1 billion for our clients.

Our process when preparing a case is individualized and focused on each client’s needs. Our attorneys are aggressive and will never be satisfied with a “quick settlement” unless it serves the needs of the client. We understand that our clients come to us with their lives completely upended, so we prepare every case as if it is going to trial. Part of this process includes investing in experts in other fields—such as medical or financial professionals—to ensure we are bringing the best and most persuasive case possible. Our motto is that we will not rest until justice is done for our clients.

We take pride in our deep roster of experienced and talented attorneys. Part of providing quality service is continuing to stay up to date on the law so we can provide the most cutting-edge service to our clients. Our attorneys not only attend continuing legal education (CLE) courses regularly, they also teach them. Partner David Scher is an expert in labor law and lectures at a seminar entitled “Construction Accidents from the Trenches: Strategies to Win Your Labor Law Case,” at the New York State Trial Lawyers Association (NYSTLA). Associate Ameer Benno is skilled in civil rights law and has taught a NYSTLA course on litigating unjust conviction cases in the past year.

Over 30 years of experience obtaining results for clients has led to recognition by our peers and various legal organizations. We have achieved a top tier ranking on the “Best Law Firms” list compiled annually by the U.S. News & World Report. Additionally, our name partners—Jeffrey Block, Daniel O’Toole, and Stephen Murphy—have been recognized on the national Best Lawyers®list for the past five years. In 2019, 12 of our attorneys were named as Super Lawyers or Rising Stars—only the top 5 percent of lawyers in each state are recognized as Super Lawyers in each practice category, and only 2.5 percent of attorneys are named as Rising Stars. We take pride in fighting for those who need our help and are honored to be recognized for doing work that we care deeply about.

If you or someone you know has suffered due to someone else’s negligence, the attorneys at Block O’Toole & Murphy can help. We offer free case evaluations and do not collect any fees unless we win your case. Call our New York office today at 646-681-6153 or fill out the contact form on our website.
