Our Story

Garrison & Webb was established in 1998 by partners Margaret Garrison and Thomas Webb, two experienced litigators who shared a vision of creating a law firm where clients would receive not merely competent legal representation, but genuinely attentive counsel that respects their dignity and addresses their concerns with care.

Both founding partners had observed during their earlier careers that too often, the pressures of modern legal practice led firms to treat clients as files to be processed rather than individuals deserving of thoughtful attention. They resolved to build something different—a practice where every matter would be handled with the same diligence and respect, regardless of its complexity or the client's circumstances.

Over the years, our firm has grown from its original two-person partnership to a team of twelve legal professionals, yet we have never lost sight of those founding principles. We continue to take the time to listen carefully, to explain matters thoroughly, and to provide honest assessments even when the answers may not be what clients hope to hear.
