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:

  • Construction Accidents
  • Motor Vehicle Accidents
  • Wrongful Death
  • Premises Liability
  • Product Liability

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.

Diligence

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.

Knowledge

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).

Experience

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.

Hello to all those who will read these words coming from my heart. I?m afraid my English skills do not allow me to properly express how wonderful everyone in this firm is but I will try my best. Daniel O?Toole and his firm made it possible for me to be that one son that can say to his mother ?Mom , I found the best people in the world and they fought very hard for you! Mom, better than this is not possible!? And you better believe that I did tell her that. The feeling of knowing that your mother was really taken care of 1000% cannot be expressed with words, dear people. It?s the best feeling in the word people. Yes , I am a mamma?s boy and I saw my mother in a lot of pain and it was hard, it was heart breaking. And I did not want to let her down. The EXTRAORDINARY result was no surprise , those who know this firm also know that if they think they can help you, nothing can stop them. But what was really memorable about the entire experience is the fact that Daniel O?Toole treated my mother like it was her own. He really did. Before we met him professionals often brought up my mothers age when discussing things. Not Danny! Yes I know he?s a very important man in NYC, but I can call him Danny, because not only he showed my mother so much love and respect , he also showed me a lot of respect when he got to see how much I was trying to be helpful to mom!! I can go on and on about this new family we found . Yes they are a law firm but they treat you like family. Whether they?re meeting you in person, or you?re talking on the phone or email, from the nice people at the front desk and everyone that follows , they treat you like a family. You will feel very fortunate to meet a wonderful team up there. I would like to thank Attorney Kristian Krober, a brilliant attorney as well as Attorney Fred Aranki a real expert and all their wonderful clerical staff. My mom called me today saying (I?m translating) ?I got a Christmas card from that nice man? she recognized Danny?s picture on the card. What more can I say. God bless all of you at Block, O ?Tole & Murphy this Christmas. This world needs more of you. And to Danny, from my mom and I , Merry Christmas & Happy and Healthy New Year to your mom as well!
