Best in NY hands down

Not going to be specific in my cases or charges but Mr. Garvin knows how to handle business very professionally. He is honest and straight up. He will tell you what the deal is. Black and white, no sugar coating. He walks into the court room like a BOSS and you can feel the energy beaming off of him.... He even keeps in touch with clients after the case is taken care of to touch base and is just very respectful and down to earth I highly recommend him for any situation especially drug/dui charges.

Did a great job representing me

Bill did a very good job representing me. He was honest and clear about what my expectations should be going into the case. He tells it how it is. Very knowledgeable about dwi law. Highly recommend!

Works hard for his clients

Mr. Garvin helped me with an order of protection issue. He's very knowledgeable, effective and helpful and he is willing to work with you regarding payment.

Great Lawyer

I hired Mr. Garvin for a DWI charge in Warwick, NY after meeting him in court. He was very knowledgable and walked me through every aspect of the case. He was also reasonably priced. I would re-hire Mr. Garvin for any future legal matters, and would highly recommend him.
