Work related injuries

Brian Murphy was highly recommended to me by another attorney, that I've worked with and trusted for many years. I'm so happy that I hired him to represent me in my case. I sustained several broken bones and a spinal injury, in a work related accident, which was caused by someone else. He is very tho...rough in obtaining the evidence required to build a strong case. The tireless efforts of Brian, his associates and staff, brought us to an extremely satisfying settlement. I can't say enough good things about him!

Hands down an amazing attorney!

I was referred to Brian Murphy at RGLZ and I'm really glad I went with having him represent me in my case. I had been inured at a very large business and Brian helped me get what I deserved after suffering multiple injuries, ongoing therapies and exacerbations of my injury. I had to pay a lot of hosp...ital bills and other medical expenses out of pocket, which Brian also helped to get compensated for in my case. The case took just about as long as Brian had said it would and in the end we had a great victory! Brian and his assistant Seema were always attentive, easy to contact and always returned my e-mails and calls in a timely manner and even after hours. Luckily the case never had to go to litigation, they settled and again, Brian fought hard for what I deserved and then some! I am extremely satisfied with Brian and RGLZ as my attorney, you will not be disappointed!! Thank you Brian and RGLZ.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

Brian Murphy and everyone at RGLZ Law Firm is absolutely amazing. Every person working there was professional, warm, helpful, patient, and made me feel comfortable and important. Brian went above and beyond by not only being a dynamite attorney, but also a very thoughtful counselor listening to my an...xieties and offering words of advice and comfort. He fought hard on my behalf and I could not have had a better experience. I am grateful for his hard work to make a traumatic and daunting experience less of a burden on me and to achieve a greater outcome than I could have ever imagined. I can’t thank him enough.

Brian P. Murphy at RHLZ

I am a retired Attorney who was referred to RGLZ by a colleague after I was involved in a four car accident. I feel blessed that the attorney handling my case was Brian P. Murphy, Esq. Brian is a talented litigator and (bonus) a really nice man who is easy to talk to, fights hard for you and works h...ard to keep you informed. He is responsive and smart and I knew that I was in very capable hands. Everyone at the firm from Laura at the front desk to the paralegals, Teri and Sheena, were always responsive and very efficient. I recommend Brian and the team at RGLZ without reservation.

Brian Murphy is a wonderful attorney and an awesome human being. He secured a multi-million dollar settlement for my family and I. To say my case was easy and settled quickly would be a lie. My case took a span of 4 years due to the amount of medical care I needed resulting from my car accident. His... concern for me was not only as a client, but also as a person, was amazing. During the entire time Brian stood by my side giving me the attention, encouragement, and direction needed. Brian was always available days, nights, and weekends for questions and consultations. His attention to detail was impeccable and he kept me updated at all times. With his skills and expertise, right before trial Brian was able to secure a life changing, multi-million dollar settlement for me. Also, I would be remiss to not mention the great work done by Seema Luthra, Brian’s Legal Assistant. I am blessed to know Brian and have him represent me. Brian Murphy was recommended to me and I definitely recommend Brian to anyone looking for a lawyer with integrity as well as heart. Choosing Brian Murphy and his firm to represent you will be a decision you will never regret.
