Amy Jackson
A Tenacious Advocate Who Secured Justice for My Family
After my mother suffered a severe injury due to a negligent facility, our family was overwhelmed and uncertain. We consulted with several firms but chose Stephen Murphy at Block O'Toole & Murphy based on his focused reputation in personal injury and medical malpractice. From our first meeting, his command of the complex medical and legal issues was evident. He didn't just see a case file; he understood the profound impact on my mother's life. Stephen's 11 years of courtroom and negotiation experience were crucial. He meticulously built our case, explaining each step without jargon, and his preparation was exhaustive. When the defense presented aggressive challenges, his strategic approach never wavered. The recognition he's received, including being named Lawyer of the Year, is clearly earned through this caliber of work. The result was a settlement that far exceeded our initial expectations, securing my mother's future care and providing immense relief. Stephen combines fierce legal acumen with genuine compassion. He is the attorney you hope for in a crisis.
