About MRPC Law (Murray Ralston Professional Corporation)

MRPC Law (Murray Ralston Professional Corporation) is a litigation firm founded in Barrie, Ontario in 1995 by Jay Ralston and Christine Murray. The firm focuses on personal injury and civil litigation, handling motor vehicle accident claims, long term disability disputes, medical malpractice, birth injury and obstetric malpractice cases, and defamation matters. From its Barrie head office, MRPC Law also serves clients through a North Bay location, reaching communities from Barrie to North Bay, including Orillia, Collingwood, Midland, Penetanguishene, Peterborough, and Bradford.

Ralston was called to the Ontario bar in 1991 and worked with Roger Oatley at Oatley Purser before helping found MRPC Law in 1995. Ralston received the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association's John A. McLeish Award for contribution to access to justice, led a class action against 15 auto insurers over accident benefit shortfalls, and now serves as OTLA's president. Murray, the firm's other founding partner, practices personal injury and mental health law, appears regularly before the Consent and Capacity Board, and is a lawyer member of the Ontario Review Board. Murray is also a published author and playwright. The Barrie office keeps a dog named Bono, who joined the team in 2019.
