PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS
And here for all your other legal needs

Celebrating 70 years representing the legal needs of Buffalonians

Our History and Founder:

Our founding partner, James A. Garvey Sr., graduated in 1949 from the University at Buffalo Law School, formerly located on Eagle Street in downtown Buffalo. He went to law school after completing service in the United States Navy, where he commanded an LCT in the Mediterranean Theatre during World War II.

Shortly after graduating from law school, James Garvey started his own law firm in 1955. Long before it was billboard fashionable, he was trying cases for personal injury victims. James Garvey established a long and colorful career, often representing causes that today are the norm, but in the 1950’s and 1960’s were considered quite far-reaching and forward-thinking. He proudly represented infants; people of many creeds and nationalities; people with mental, emotional, and physical disabilities; and people who just needed help. He continued to serve his clients with creativity and sensitivity, both in and out of the courtroom, until the day he died in January 2001.

The Law Firm of Garvey & Garvey, P.C. is the proud legacy of James A. Garvey.

We are a small group of attorneys dedicated to practicing the art and advocacy of the law according to time-honored traditions and the highest professional standards. We are a firm of discretion, discernment, and individual attention. A firm where preparation, creativity, and quiet attention to detail are the hallmarks of true courtroom experience. We are not simply a client-number’s lawyer; we are your advocate. And we carry proudly that title.
