Stephen J. Murphy

Stephen J. Murphy has been one of New York’s top plaintiff-side personal injury trial attorneys for more than two decades. As a managing partner at Block O’Toole & Murphy, Mr. Murphy handles a wide array of personal injury cases, including serious construction accidents, motor vehicle and pedestrian accidents, premises liability issues, and wrongful death incidents.

Mr. Murphy’s skill and hard work in the courtroom have earned him many accolades from fellow attorneys, opponents, and judges. He was named the 2022 “New York City Lawyer of the Year” for all Plaintiff Personal Injury Lawyers by Best Lawyers®, and, since 2023, Forbes Magazine has recognized him as one of New York City’s Best Personal Injury Lawyers. He has also been named a “New York Super Lawyer” since 2010, which honors him as one of the top 5% of lawyers in the NYC Metro Area.

Described by The New York Times as one of the “top attorneys in New York,” Mr. Murphy is an expert on both civil and criminal legal issues, and he regularly appears in local and national news as an expert commentator. He has been featured in The New York Times, CNN, Fox News, The New York Law Journal, and more. Z100 Radio has referred to him as a “legendary trial lawyer,” and Fox News Radio has previously called him one of “America’s premier trial lawyers.” Mr. Murphy also formerly served as an Adjunct Professor of Law with St. John’s University School of Law, where he taught students the art of trial law.

Mr. Murphy draws on his experiences as a former homicide prosecutor to inform his current work on catastrophic personal injury trial work. After graduating from St. John’s University School of Law, Mr. Murphy honed his skills prosecuting violent crimes as an Assistant District Attorney in Brooklyn. He was eventually appointed to Brooklyn’s Homicide Bureau, becoming the youngest member of the team at the time. There, he handled several high-profile cases, including double and triple murders, arson homicides, and gang murders.

In 2005, Mr. Murphy made the switch from criminal to civil law, joining what is now Block O’Toole & Murphy as a tenacious and respected trial lawyer. Since then, he has obtained some of New York’s most significant landmark results. He has amassed over $500,000,000 in results for his clients and consistently returns verdicts and settlements in excess of $1,000,000. Members of the bar from Brooklyn to Buffalo frequently consult with Mr. Murphy on trial matters and refer their most significant cases to him.

Seminal Personal Injury Case Results

Mr. Murphy has handled the following significant cases:

• $32,756,156 jury verdict for a 60-year-old pedestrian in a Suffolk County traumatic brain injury case. The verdict, which was featured in a cable television documentary titled “The Good Samaritan,” is the largest negligence verdict in Long Island. It was also recognized by the New York Law Journal as the second highest negligence verdict in New York State for the year.
• $15,500,000 settlement for a client who sustained a traumatic brain injury in a pedestrian knockdown case.
• $9,950,000 settlement in a Buffalo case for a young social worker who lost her leg after she was struck by a vehicle in a parking lot. Mr. Murphy and Partner David L. Scher were able to persuade two insurance carriers to settle, narrowly avoiding trial.

She suffered a traumatic brain injury, along with nerve damage, broken ribs, and other orthopedic injuries. In 2014, this result was the tenth largest settlement in the entire United States.
