About Our Firm

Three decades of uncompromising legal excellence, serving individuals and businesses across New York.

Hargrove team
Our Story

Built on principle.
Driven by results.

Founded in 1994 by James Hargrove, our firm began with a singular vision: provide clients with the kind of legal representation that treats every case as if it were the only one. That philosophy has guided us from a three-person practice to one of New York's most respected full-service law firms.

Today, Hargrove & Associates comprises 40 attorneys across six practice areas, each selected for their courtroom instincts, academic distinction, and commitment to client outcomes. We have recovered over $2.1 billion for our clients and maintain a 98% success rate across all practice areas.

We don't measure success by hours billed. We measure it by lives changed, businesses protected, and justice served.
