Anthony Murgatroyd attended St. John's University, and the University of London. In 1989, he graduated Rutgers University School of Law.

After graduating law school, Anthony Murgatroyd served as the Clerk for a Judge in the Superior Court of New Jersey. He then worked the next three years as trial counsel for a Morris County AV rated firm, which is the highest rating given, where he specialized in the defense of complex legal and professional malpractice claims. After that, he served as house counsel to a major insurance company, handling personal injury, automobile accident, and product liability claims.

Working for the insurance company he gained first-hand knowledge of how insurance companies handle injury claims. He started his own firm so he could use that same knowledge to help people who are injured--people who were now going up against the insurance companies themselves. As former house counsel to a major insurance company, Anthony Murgatroyd knows what to expect, and how to prepare your case for success.

We highly recommend Anthony J Murgatroyd as a lawyer.
We retained Anthony Murgatroyd as our lawyer for a personal injury case. He was friendly, honest and compassionate about his work. He made us feel very much at ease with every aspect of our case. He took the time to inform and explain to us everything that was involved with our case. In client depositions a member of his staff was with us at all times. Never leaving us to fend for ourselves. Whenever we had questions they were always immediately answered. Everyone in his office is very professional and quick to help with any of our issues. We would highly recommend Anthony Murgatroyd and his staff for your legal needs

From the very beginning, Anthony and everyone in his office were very responsive, professional and thorough in handling my case. Nothing was taken for granted. Anthony made sure I had all the necessary medical tests and examinations to support my case. He also had me meet with a financial adviser to establish income and lost wages, etc. His wife accompanied me on any insurance doctor's examinations to insure that they were conducted properly. Anthony explained all the steps involved and exactly what would happen if the case went to trial. He always returned my phone calls and answered any questions I had. The end result was the insurance company settled rather than allowing the case to go to trial. I was very pleased with the professional, caring way Anthony and his team handled my case. I can, without reservation, highly recommend Anthony and his team and will not hesitate to us them in the future if the need arises.

Excellent attorney
Excellent attorney - patient, explains everything, listens and treats you with respect. Mr. Murgatroyd is a true professional who doesn't talk down to you. He cares and delivers results very quickly. There is no arrogance or bad attitude in his nature. I can honestly say that he handles every case the same way - no matter how big or how small.

Top workmans compensation attorney
I have nothing but kind words to say about Anthony and his Law firm. Anthony is incredibly knowledgeable about the laws surrounding my area of need when I required representation for a workman's compensation case. Anthony and his team guided me in my approach to handling insurance adjuster issues and in several instances where there was resistance from the insurance company, Anthony and his assistant Christine along with Deborah compelled the adjuster(s) to do the right thing by quickly reminding them chapter, page and verse of what their responsibilities were. Ultimately, my case was favorably settled and although no amount of money is able to offset incredible pain, it does help provide other options to make things a bit easier to tolerate. Retain the Murgatroyd Law Group and get fantastic, professional and responsive representation, period. T.

Review
Up front, I've had a very favorable outcome with Anthony Murgatroyd. My case (multi-vehicle accident) was complicated and involved several parties. Prior to retaining him, I met with two other attorneys (both from large and well advertised firms). They were experienced and seemed competent; however, I decided to go with Anthony because I was more impressed with his resume of work (which I got through much on-line research), believed my case would receive more attention with his smaller firm and simply put, Anthony wanted the case more. Once retained, Anthony quickly got the process rolling. And make no mistake, going through the legal system is not pleasant and will test your patience. A simple analogy is that it's like a tank. It's slow, cumbersome, scary and powerful, but it's only as good as the commander that takes it into battle. At no time did I feel that Anthony didn't know what he was doing or the direction he was taking. As the case progressed, although subtlety, it became more and more apparent that Anthony did a better job at outmaneuvering the other side. After some time, the case was settled. I hope to never go through that experience again (absolutely hated it), but would not hesitate in choosing Anthony Murgatroyd as my attorney if needed. Highly recommended.

super attorney, exellent friend.
Mr. Murgatroyd and his staff have always helped me in all my legal needs. I have been a client since 2003. Mr. Murgatroyd has been there for me beyond the services he was hired for. He cares forhis clients, he embraces them as family with love and dedication.

Trustworthy yet tough when necessary
They say the devil is in the details and Mr. Murgatroyd is very detail oriented and prepared for any possibility. I had the opportunity to see how he interacted with another client while waiting in court one day and he was very patient, professional and showed empathy towards this elderly lady who had had poor representation earlier (she and I chatted while waiting). My case is complicated and unusual but he took it anyway. In the past I have had attorneys who wanted only the high dollar client with an easy case or low hanging fruit. I've been very satisfied and helped by Mr. Murgatroyd. I had heard good things about him for several years and went to Mr. Murgatroyd on the advice of two friends, one of whom's attorney daughter knew of and spoke well of him. Friends recommendations brought me to the office but their performance has kept me there. Sometimes you need an advocate and Mr. Murgatroyd had been mine.
