As a law student at Fordham University School of Law, Mr. Scher worked for the New York State Attorney General’s Office and served as a law clerk for New York Supreme Court Justice Shirley Kornreich, besides volunteering for a civil rights legal aid clinic. After graduating, he began and built his career at Block O’Toole & Murphy.
A partner at Block O’Toole & Murphy since 2012, Mr. Scher has developed a reputation for achieving landmark results, with a total in excess of $100 million. His many successes include multi-million-dollar settlements on behalf of workers injured on the job, auto and pedestrian accident victims, and surviving families in wrongful death cases.
Mr. Scher is the head of Block O’Toole & Murphy’s appellate practice. He regularly argues before the Appellate Division and has appeared before New York State’s highest court, the Court of Appeals. An authority on the Labor Laws that govern worker safety in New York State, Mr. Scher is a passionate advocate for workers, successfully handling several appeals which rank among the most important decisions pertaining to construction site safety and workers’ rights in New York.
On behalf of over 5,000 New York State trial lawyers, he wrote an amicus curiae brief to the Court of Appeals which resulted in the Ortiz v. Varsity Holdings decision, which adopted his position, expanding the protections afforded to construction workers that fall from heights.
In 2023, Mr. Scher was installed as the 56th president of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association (NYSTLA). As president of NYSTLA, Mr. Scher has advocated for the passage of the Grieving Families Act, a bill, with overwhelming bipartisan support, which seeks to update the state’s wrongful death statute to allow family members in wrongful death cases to seek compensation for pain and suffering resulting from the loss of their loved one. He sits on NYSTLA’s Board of Directors and on several other committees.
Mr. Scher’s expertise is frequently sought out within the field. He has authored many articles for the New York Law Journal and other legal publications, frequently lectures to attorneys around the state about handling construction accident cases, and has appeared as an expert on panels that educate lawyers on best litigation practices. In education as in personal injury and trial, he is committed to bringing out the best in those around him and making New York State the best it can be for clients, workers, his fellow attorneys, and all who prioritize justice. “We’re all on a journey here to seek the truth,” he says of his role in relation to others in the courtroom. “That’s our job.

For over 30 years, Mr. Block has handled a wide variety of cases, including construction accidents, motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, and premises liability. His passion for fighting for the underdog has guided his career and helped him garner considerable verdicts and settlements for his clients, including a $53.5 million jury verdict for a paralyzed construction worker, a $14,000,000 result (reported to be the highest non-medical malpractice verdict ever in Nassau County), a $12,000,000 settlement (with a $71,643,000 expected payout) for a child hit by a car, and a $10,875,000 settlement for a construction worker hurt on the job.
His legal acumen, dedication to his clients, and track record of success have earned him the respect of fellow trial attorneys, many of whom call upon him to serve as trial counsel for their most significant cases. For over a decade, Mr. Block has been elected as a “Super Lawyer” in New York State, identifying him as one of the top five percent of New York personal injury trial lawyers. He has also been selected by his peers to be included in Best Lawyers and was honored as one of the “Top 100 Trial Lawyers in New York State” by The National Trial Lawyers organization.
Additionally, Mr. Block devotes his spare time to raising money for numerous charities and causes, including the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where he and his firm partners have raised over $5 million for the hospital.

Block is the founding partner at the New York-based personal injury law firm Block O’Toole & Murphy. His career has been marked by a series of remarkable results, yielding more than 200 case resolutions exceeding $1,000,000.
For over 30 years, Mr. Block has handled a wide variety of cases, including construction accidents, motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, and premises liability. His passion for fighting for the underdog has guided his career and helped him garner considerable verdicts and settlements for his clients, including a $53.5 million jury verdict for a paralyzed construction worker, a $14,000,000 result (reported to be the highest non-medical malpractice verdict ever in Nassau County), a $12,000,000 settlement (with a $71,643,000 expected payout) for a child hit by a car, and a $10,875,000 settlement for a construction worker hurt on the job.
His legal acumen, dedication to his clients, and track record of success have earned him the respect of fellow trial attorneys, many of whom call upon him to serve as trial counsel for their most significant cases. For over a decade, Mr. Block has been elected as a “Super Lawyer” in New York State, identifying him as one of the top five percent of New York personal injury trial lawyers. He has also been selected by his peers to be included in Best Lawyers and was honored as one of the “Top 100 Trial Lawyers in New York State” by The National Trial Lawyers organization.
Additionally, Mr. Block devotes his spare time to raising money for numerous charities and causes, including the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where he and his firm partners have raised over $5 million for the hospital. He is also a major donor to The Frances Pope Memorial Foundation, Candlelighters of New York City, and various other organizations. In 2017, along with his wife, Maritza, he organized a fundraising drive to send supplies to the island of Puerto Rico after the devastation of Hurricane Maria.

Joseph Donahue","LawyerGivenName":"S. Joseph","LawyerMiddleName":null,"LawyerFamilyName":"Donahue","LawyerInitials":"SD","Biography":"S. Joseph Donahue joined Block O’Toole & Murphy in 2005. Shortly thereafter, he was named a Partner of the firm in 2012, having achieved several landmark verdicts and settlement outcomes, including a $53,500,000 verdict for a paralyzed construction worker. During his eighteen-year tenure at Block O’Toole & Murphy, Mr. Donahue has attained more than $200,000,000 for his clients, with focused attention on accidents in the areas of construction, motor vehicles, tractor trailers, and medical malpractice cases.
During his twenty-seven-year legal career, Mr. Donahue has earned a reputation as a skilled trial lawyer. After graduating from The City University of New York School of Law in 1997, he landed a job as Assistant District Attorney in Brooklyn, where he investigated thousands of criminal cases and fought successfully for crime victims in front of the New York State Grand Jury. He was later promoted to Senior Assistant District Attorney, prosecuting violent atrocities such as homicides, shootings, and robberies. It was during this time that Mr. Donahue’s idea of success began to shift. “When a wife, husband, or parent comes to me and says, ‘You obtained justice for my loved one’—that’s when I feel most successful,” he said. “That’s the best success you can have.”
After leaving the District Attorney’s Office in 2003, Mr. Donahue shifted to work at a prominent New York City firm specializing in medical malpractice litigation. There, he represented hospitals and physicians accused of medical malpractice in the fields of cardiology, obstetrics and gynecology, neurosurgery, general surgery, and failure to diagnose cancer. He brings this expertise to his work at Block O’Toole & Murphy.
“I’ve been doing this a long time, and I still learn something new in every trial,” Mr. Donahue said. “Every trial should pose a challenge—a new opportunity to learn. If you don’t learn something new each time, you’re either full of it, or you’re not looking to learn.”
Mr. Donahue’s reputation as a trial lawyer has earned him various recognitions and awards, including his selection to “New York Super Lawyers” from 2011-2023, recognizing him as one of the top 5% of lawyers in his field. Mr. Donahue was also named as one of New York State’s “Top 1% Trial Counsel for Medical Malpractice,” and he earned membership to both The Million Dollar Advocates Forum and The Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum.
What Mr. Donahue loves most about being a lawyer is making a difference—something that hasn’t changed for him, even after so many years. “Every single day that I come into Block O’Toole & Murphy, I know that I’m going to potentially make a difference in someone’s life—someone who is seriously injured, whose life has been turned upside down,” he said. “I think a lot of people in our industry view cases in terms of how much money they will make off someone else’s hardship. We look at things in terms of how we’re going to help someone.”
Mr. Donahue and his wife have two teenage sons.

Murphy joined Block O’Toole & Murphy after a successful career as a homicide prosecutor for the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office. Best known for his work in the courtroom, Mr. Murphy handles a wide variety of personal injury cases, but his main focus is serious construction accidents and catastrophic personal injury cases.
As a partner at the New York City law firm since 2008, Mr. Murphy has already amassed extremely impressive results, regularly returning verdicts and settlements over a million dollars. In his 16 years of civil practice, he has garnered over $400,000,000 in results for clients. Since 2013, he has averaged well over $40,000,000 in settlements every year. In 2021, he was the lead attorney on the top three construction accident settlements in the entire Northeast, as reported in VerdictSearch’s 2021 Top Verdicts and Settlements report.
Prior to his career at BOM, Mr. Murphy was appointed by the District Attorney to the Homicide Bureau, making him the youngest attorney there at the time. He earned a reputation as a tough but fair prosecutor, successfully handling several high-profile murder cases, including double and triple murders, arson homicides, and child murders. In addition to his trial work, Mr. Murphy served as an Adjunct Professor of Law with St. John's School of Law for nine years. Under their trial advocacy program, his students won national championships in trial competitions five of the nine years he was involved.
Described as one of the \"Top Attorneys in New York” by The New York Times, Mr. Murphy has earned multiple accolades from both his peers and opponents. He is recognized by various notable legal organizations including Super Lawyers, Best Lawyers in America, National Trial Lawyers, Irish Legal 100, and Brehon Law Society. He has also appeared as a guest host and commentator on civil and criminal cases for many local and national media outlets, including Court TV, Fox Radio, The New York Post, New York Daily News, and Newsday. In addition, Mr. Murphy has been published in The New York Law Journal for a series of columns that he co-authored with colleague David Scher regarding construction accident law.
Outside of the office, Mr. Murphy volunteers his time for various charities and fundraisers. One that is very dear to his heart is St. Jude Children’s Hospital, where he serves as an active member of the fundraising team, raising over $5,000,000 for the organization. For over ten years, Mr. Murphy, along with the other partners at Block O’Toole & Murphy, has hosted an annual Autumn Wine Tasting in support of St. Jude, bringing together local restaurants and vendors to help raise funds for the research of childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

Zach Perecman is a skilled personal injury and construction accident lawyer at The Perecman Firm, where he has worked since high school. From his early roles as file clerk and paralegal to now as an attorney, Zach has dedicated himself to achieving justice for clients injured in construction accidents, car crashes, premises incidents, and civil rights cases. He’s known for his thorough approach, meticulous case preparation, and relentless pursuit of maximum compensation for his clients.
Recognized by Super Lawyers Rising Stars (2018-2022) and Best Lawyers Ones to Watch (2020-2023), Zach has secured numerous multi-million-dollar settlements and has represented clients through successful jury verdicts. Notable settlements include $5.6 million for a union concrete laborer struck by a falling scaffold, $4.3 million for a carpenter who fell from a scaffold, and $3.2 million for a worker injured on debris.
Zach’s early advocacy experience includes working on behalf of a wrongfully accused woman, helping secure a $4 million settlement after convincing the highest court to hear the case. Another career highlight was obtaining a $5 million settlement in a premises liability case alongside his father, David Perecman, the firm’s founder.
He earned his Bachelor’s from the University of Miami and graduated magna cum laude from New York Law School, where he was a John Marshall Harlan Scholar and staff editor of the law review. Zach is also a devoted husband and father who enjoys playing guitar, singing, and riding his Peloton outside of work.
