Biography Submit listing

We chose to remain a small law office to provide personal, dedicated and aggressive service to our clients. My office costs a few dollars more but excellent service takes time and strategy. Offsetting our higher fees we have payment plans. We have seven lawyers working together to get the best solutions. As a small firm we call upon all areas of the law to form a comprehensive strategy and plan. As in a game making the right move determines the outcome of the case. A divorce case is often helped by a bankruptcy or our tax law knowledge. We create a Family atmosphere in our law office along with successful results to make you want to refer your family and friends. We have a registered nurse on staff full-time to assist with medical questions. Our attorneys are personable, knowledgeable and highly-qualified. All are respected among judges and the legal community. Dennis Gaughan is one of the best known attorneys in Western New York; his opinions are often published. He has hundreds of successful judge and jury trials over his 27 years as a lawyer.
