Thank you again!!

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; howe...ver, 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.

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 ha...d 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.
