Gwyneth K. Murray-Nolan is the Managing Partner of Murray-Nolan Berutti LLC (Juris Doctor). A third generation attorney, Ms. Murray-Nolan is known as a fierce litigator who handles cases on behalf of both plaintiffs and defendants. Ms. Murray-Nolan’s adversaries often note that they respect her quick wit, aggressive handling of cases on behalf of her clients, strong work ethic, and esteemed professionalism in all aspects of her representation.

Ms. Murray-Nolan previously held an Equity Partner position and worked at a wide variety of “Big Law” firms in New Jersey and New York, before founding Murray-Nolan Berutti LLC with Ronald Berutti on January 1, 2022. During the Covid-19 pandemic, which resulted in deprivations of constitutional rights across America, including restrictions of freedom of speech, religion, assembly, association, and press, Ms. Murray-Nolan became wary of government overreach and medical disinformation. Ms. Murray-Nolan firmly believes that all people deserve the very best legal representation, especially those who are threatened with loss of employment, schooling, careers, bodily autonomy, religious freedom, and ownership of their own businesses. Thus, the decision to start a new law firm to defend those most basic constitutional principles was an easy one.

Overreach by the government in schools during the pandemic was especially concerning to Ms. Murray-Nolan. She is the mother to two special needs children, one of whom is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (among other diagnoses). Ms. Murray-Nolan saw the educational, emotional, psychological, and physical devastation to special needs children who were forced out of school and allegedly learning on a computer, in violation of their Independent Education Plans. Upon return to in-person school, these special needs children (and indeed all children) were then forcibly masked in New Jersey public schools. Ms. Murray-Nolan was the lead plaintiff in litigation against New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy to stop forcibly masking children in schools. In her own town of Cranford, New Jersey, Ms. Murray-Nolan was arrested on February 14, 2022, at a Cranford Board of Education meeting for being unmasked while in the midst of a First Amendment protest related to the forcible masking of her autistic son in Cranford public school. Despite being unmasked at eight months of previous Board of Education meetings in her ongoing First Amendment protest of forced masking of special needs children in Cranford public schools, Ms. Murray-Nolan was arrested, handcuffed, and confined to a jail cell where she was held chained to a metal bench for close to two hours.

Almost four years later, on January 16, 2026, the case of State v. Murray-Nolan was finally dismissed when the Court ruled that the prosecutor had failed to follow procedures which were in place to protect individuals from being politically prosecuted for pandemic related protests. In the interim period to the case being dismissed, Gwyneth’s legal arguments were taken all the way to the United States Supreme Court. To that end, Murray-Nolan Berutti LLC is a known leader is suing overreaching school boards, superintendents, and rogue administrators who do not honor and respect parents and parental rights in public schools.
