I highly recommend attorney Brian Garvine. He fights tirelessly for his clients to get results. If you need an exceptional civil litigator, contact Mr. Garvine today!

As Controller in the HVAC & Plumbing industry, I have partnered with Brian on many occasions. Brian & his team are relational, relative, efficient & execute to the full extent of the law. Brian gets things done! I highly recommend partnering with The Law Offices of Brian Garvine.

I was referred to Catherine by a good friend and I could not have been more pleased with the choice. I was an unmarried/in the process of separating father who didn't understand the custody laws and rights of a man in my situation. Catherine helped me every step of the way with my custody case. Explaining laws and how she would work with them and handling every hurdle that came our way. We had to deal with my ex/daughter's mother who was less than cooperative at times and her divorce that was handled poorly made the custody case that much more difficult. It was a handful and a mess. Catherine worked diligently to not only get my rights to my daughter and a plan set in place for that but also worked with my daughter's mother very well in very difficult circumstances. She remained cool and explained the reasons for her actions when needed and ended unneeded chatter when it wasn't forwarding the conversation. She worked with my ex and got a plan in place that worked for everyone. I would highly recommend Catherine to anyone needing not only custody help but any kind of separation or divorce help or advice.

Catherine was amazing to work with. She was responsive, kind, smart, patient, and over all dedicated to helping. My situation was not like most. Not an easy custody agreement. Most lawyers after hearing my story and the work that would be needed probably would have turned me away. But not Catherine she made it her mission for the courts to see the truth and for me to get a chance to be a father. Many lies and allegations were told about me. Many delays (because of COVId) happened. And I was truly scared I wouldn’t get to be a father. No matter what they threw at us Catherine solved it. It’s like when your on a plane and you get turbulence your sacred but the pilot tells you everything is going to be okay and then you land safe. That is Catherine as a lawyer. She filed things fast, she responded fast. Again I cannot state how crazy my situation was anything that could go wrong did. Any lie that could be told was told to the courts. But Because of Catherine I get to be a father. My son gets a dad. I couldn’t recommend her enough. If you need help she is the one to call.

Brain Garvine's office answered my call immediately! His experience, and knowledge helped resolve my Pandemic Overpayment issues. My experience with Brian is one that allows me to highly recommend him to all. I will work with him in the future, if needed. Thanks Brian.

I wish the original review I drafted on my phone saved, so here's a shot at it again. Undoubtedly - Catherine is a great advocate for mothers too - but this is specifically written for fathers. I was referred personally to four separate attorneys and consulted all four before retaining Catherine. Four. I am sure the other's knew the law and we're good referrals, but I didn't feel a connection back from any of them. They felt very uninterested in my matter and frankly, too busy for more. I walked into Catherine's office and minutes into our conversation, knew that we'd be a great team. Catherine was not only excellent at family law (as other reviews show) - she was an advocate through and through for me as the father. Understanding that I gave up my rights not long before we started working together still, she persisted with great confidence and when needed, unwavering guidance. I do not think I would have accomplished all we did (including avoid trial) without her extensive practice and knowledge of family law. It's confusing, it's not in favor of us father's, and it is mentally taxing which then can be physically damaging. Once on a path forward - I felt the weight of concern be lifted - this process is, A LOT OF WORK. YOU HAVE TO DO IT TOO (I am also recovering from alcohol and drug addiction). Before I couldn't even talk to my ex without extreme frustration and conflict. With Catherine's path, I felt that I had the confidence to begin to discover what co-parenting might look like. The Court's do not like these cases to "linger" back and forth, so you do not have time to sit, wait, and hope time will heal. It will not in this case. That's why it is required to have someone (like Catherine) who is educated well on the matter, connected (not in the pulling favors sense, but familiar to how magistrates will favor or react to certain actions and motions based on her time working locally in our courts), and a good judge of character. If you are clear, truthful, diligent, and really care of the fair and equitable interests of your children then you have found a perfect ally in the journey to settle whatever family matter you carry. I have -a path- to a future with my children - a path toward shared parenting rights, and an amazing future for my children, with me, their father in their lives. We're headed to a LONG weekend together this weekend, for the first time in several years. Bless. PS- [reminder] Just as a "consumer" of professional services myself, like those of attorney's - be respectful. Learn the importance of practicing mindfulness and patience. YOU are seeking someone for THEIR expertise, lay down your personal baggage at the door and let the person you are seeking for professional services do what they are passionate about and good at.

Working with Brian was a great experience. His even tone, insight, perspective, questions, and ability to acknowledge my feelings/experience as a person/client, while being direct and to the point with the best options and possible outcomes under the law for my situation was excellent.

As someone who is constantly navigating the difficult landscape of owning a small business, it is incredibly helpful to have a knowledgeable and caring attorney like Brian. He has helped us deal with countless matters over the years and comes highly recommended. We look forward to our continued partnership and will rely on him for years to come.

I have worked with and against Brian and always found him to be highly competent. He is knowledgeable about the law and facts, diligently represents his clients, and possesses good judgment. I recommend and would hire Brian.

I have used Brian for 3 specific cases and every time he went above and beyond for me. His attention to detail is impeccable, and research unmatched. It didn't matter when I called him, either himself or his team was responding to me very quickly. I have such a great respect for him that I have referred my parents to him as well and they have been just as thrilled. Proud to have him as my lawyer!

Some of the reviews on here look like the yelp reviews where disgruntled guests try their best to ruin a business because their French fries were soggy. Falsifying facts and making empty claims and accusations in a public forum without basis are certainly wrong … Looking past those reviews, I can say that have personally worked with Mr. Brian Garvine for about 25 years in both a professional capacity and also with Brian representing me on several personal and also business matters. Brian has always satisfied my concerns, and has worked diligently on my cases and has always given me the expert advice I need according to the rule of law and pertaining to my predicament. I have also seen Brian in action very often in his representation of other clients and have never witnessed any actions by Brian, or of anyone at his firm, that would deserve said poor reviews. Brian is always professional, organized and does as he says … and the man actually works 7 days a week. I would always trust any of my legal matters both personal or business to Brian Garvine, listen closely to his legal advice, and hope to have him in my corner for many years to come. I would highly recommend Brian to potential clients and I am giving him 5 stars ...
