A really great Lawyer

I had my own business for a long time but the economy was making survival darn near impossible. I was in real trouble and decided to talk to a lawyer about my problems; I have known Leo personally for several years so I explained some of my situation and he said let’s get organized to review the opt...ions. I’m not the best record-keeper, but we reviewed what I had and he kind of told me I had nowhere to go but up and if I wanted to be able to even have a retirement I’d better start to prepare. I didn’t want to hear it, but he insisted I understand the consequences of my actions, past, present, and future. Man, I didn’t want to hear it but they really held my feet to the fire, and I’m glad they did. I made some hard decisions I’d been putting off, but I’m so much better off now. I’ve got my feet firmly on the ground and don’t have all that old stuff dragging me down. Life isn’t perfect, but I do have a plan and hope to enjoy retirement at some point. If you are having money problems ask Mr. Garvey to help you identify your options. He’ll walk you thru it, make sure you understand the possible outcomes of each decision and also help you implement legal relief if it could be helpful for you. I am so glad I asked for help. Steve

Thank you Leo F. Garvey!

During 35 years of marriage, my husband handled all our finances. After his death I was at a complete loss, both emotionally and financially and was afraid that I wouldn't be able to meet my obligations. Mr. Leo Garvey understood that I was upset and was very kind. He reviewed my current situation... and explained the options. Because I was in such a state of confusion, he had to repeat things many times, but he did so until he was sure I understood. I felt badly but it was clear that bankruptcy was my only option. Mr. Garvey and his assistant met with me for several hours and they were readily available for any questions I had. The process took several months. My bankruptcy just ended and the court closed the case. I am so grateful for the services provided by Mr. Garvey and his assistant. They were very patient and thorough with me and with the creditors. They explained the overall process so I'd know where we were at any given time. At the hearing there weren't many questions because they helped me to provide good solid information in the paperwork. I am so glad he was there to help me in this situation. It wasn't a place I wanted to be, but with him guiding me the ordeal was less overwhelming. If you are having financial difficulties I encourage you to speak with Mr. Garvey and have him advise the best way to handle them.

Auto Accident

I was injured in an automobile accident 18 years ago and Leo Garvey represented me and made sure the insurance companies compensated me for my injury and lost time at work. Leo kept me informed about my case at every step of the case. I honestly feel Leo Garvey represented me as his client with my we...lfare as his number one priority. I would recommend Leo Garvey in any auto accident.

Health Care Malpractice

I was sent home from a Seattle hospital emergency room without a correct diagnosis and two days later was admitted to the same hospital after my personal physician called 911. Leo Garvey reviewed my medical files/information and advised me of my options because time was running out if I decided to su...e the hospital. Leo reviewed my files and sent them on to another lawyer for a second opinion. I decided to not sue the hospital for their incorrect diagnosis but honestly felt that Leo Garvey went the extra mile and then some when he reviewed my file and then wrote a letter to another lawyer on my behalf explaining my case. I was very pleased with the professionalism Leo Garvey exhibited on my case. I would highly recommend Leo Garvey as a lawyer to my friends and co-workers. I have known Leo Garvey for 20 plus years.

"Leo Garvey, Seattle Attorney, is a professional of formidable talent and integrity. Indeed, as a former US Marine, he can be trusted with our lives, as well as property. Leo and I served together as successive Chairs of the World Peace through Law Section of the Washington State Bar Association for five years. We served honorably and constructed with other colleagues a series of major events intersecting the offices and projects of such persons as Warren Christopher, former US Secretary of State, and the Seattle Congressman, Jim McDermott. I have also conducted legal research and case evaluation and planning discussions with Leo Garvey, and he represents the model of exactly what an attorney should be. Paul Schlossman August 14, 2014"
