Our founding partner, James A. Garvey Sr., graduated
from the University of Buffalo law school, formerly
located on Eagle Street in downtown Buffalo in 1949. 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.
A few
years after graduating from law school, James Garvey
started his own law firm. 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 colors 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 is the proud legacy of James A.
Garvey, Sr..
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,
