Bob Garvey is a trial lawyer with more than 40 years of experience.

He limits his practice to representing people who have suffered serious injury or wrongful death as a result of the negligent or wrongful conduct of others. His practice is selective and referral-based. The majority of his cases come from lawyers, judges, and former clients.

He has successfully tried cases throughout Michigan and nationally, with record verdicts in Michigan and Florida.

Because of his success in the trial, all of his clients benefitted from larger settlements. His cases are less likely to go to trial because the insurance companies know of his track record with juries. His law practice is the opposite of the “volume” practice of many TV lawyers. You are never just a number.

For a sampling of settlements and verdicts see the “verdicts and settlements” section of the website.

His areas of practice include Medical Malpractice, auto, bicycle, motorcycle and truck accidents and traumatic brain injuries.

He is a proud member of the American College Of Trial Lawyers [ACTL], where he served on the State committee, and the American Board Of Trial Advocates [ABOTA], where he served as President and National Board Representative and was honored with the prestigious Baxter Award by his peers in ABOTA.

His accomplishments have been recognized by Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers, dbusiness, and Crains. For his work with Access to Justice, he received the President’s Choice Award from the State Bar Office of Michigan.

Outside the law, he is a percussionist, a squash player, and an outdoorsman. He has past Board service with the University Liggett School, The Michigan Environmental Council, The Grand Traverse Regional Land Conservancy, the Warm Hearts Foundation, and the Opening Village Doors Foundation. He was a member of the Bipartisan Michigan Judicial Selection Task Force.

He is available for consultation without charge. His fees are based on a percentage of the recovery.
