Anthony Metaxas is a civil litigator and has extensive experience with business litigation and litigation involving fiduciary relations both in the context of closely held corporations and trusts and estates.  Anthony has served as counsel to one of the largest private transportation companies in Massachusetts and has overseen that client’s litigation matters for over 20 years.   Additionally, Anthony also serves as counsel to a number of other business clients providing legal advice on a constellation of issues.  Prior to forming a private practice in Essex County over 40 years ago, Anthony was employed as an assistant federal public defender who participated in the defense of several multiparty “white collar” matters.  In 1979, Anthony founded the prominent North Shore firm of Metaxas, Norman & Pidgeon, which he later merged with the North Shore firm of Brown & Brown to continue the firm’s focus on litigation. 

In addition to representing business clients, Anthony has also focused his practice representing litigants in matters involving trust and estate matters.  In recent years, for example, Anthony and the firm were successful in arbitrating a complex trust issue which permitted a beneficiary to benefit from the sale of commercial property valued at over $100 million.  Because of Anthony’s experience in both the superior court and probate and family court, he has been appointed as a commissioner in the sale of property; as a trustee in cases which involve litigation experience and as conservator and guardian in cases involving substantial estates.

Because of the breadth of and the number of years of his experience, Anthony is regularly sought out as a conciliator and arbitrator on complex trust and estate matters.

Anthony has a working knowledge of Greek and enjoys representing Greek American clients in matters and has done so throughout his extensive career.

Anthony received his B.A. degree (magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa) from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst in 1973 and his J.D from Northeastern University Law School.
