This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Excellent advice and peace of mind

Peter Garvey, Esq., provides very knowledgeable and practical advice during difficult times. Mr. Garvey is compassionate and kind, and understands the emotionally challenging time that his clients are experiencing in planning for the financial affairs and/or resolving the estates of loved ones. There... is a lot of conflicting and complicated information on the internet. The best course of action is to retain Mr. Garvey because he will provide excellent legal representation and peace of mind.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
