He started a practice in New York City around 1807, initially in the Mayor's (or Municipal) Court.[8] He was a prominent defense attorney and,[9] in his practice, was described thusly:

Anthon had the reputation of being the best practitioner at the New York bar. Although somewhat brusque in manner and possessed of a displeasing voice, he showed great skill in marshaling facts and in legal exposition and analysis."[1]

During the War of 1812, he was in command of a company of militia, and served in the defence of New York City.[8] He was also frequently employed during this period as judge advocate.[10] The establishment of the Supreme Court of the City of New York is largely due to his efforts, he having successfully urged its necessity upon the state legislature.[1] He was one of the founders of the New York Law Institute,[11] becoming its president in 1852[7] and continuing until his death.[1]

In 1810, he married Judith Hone (1792–1875).[7] Together, they had thirteen children, including:[2]
