The Attea & Attea law firm has often been on the scene within Ellicottville, NY over the past decades, with developments and numerous legal proceedings under their belt. It was this close involvement with the community that helped build a professional relationship between Brian Attea (Attea & Attea P.C.) and Kathleen Moriarty (Peters & Moriarty). Kathleen went on to describe that, “Brian was a huge mentor for me. He was the person I called if I had questions, so it was a really natural fit”. Now with over twelve years of legal experience, Kathleen Moriarty is eager to continue to build her relationship and expertise with Attea & Attea P.C.

The merger fell into place at the perfect time and both parties acknowledged that it just felt right to bring them together. The two firms shared a common ground of providing the highest level of care to clients and a philosophy of respect and dedication. Brian Attea described how the process came to be in an ideal way. “The timing was perfect because we were in the process of beginning to look for an attorney who had experience in estate work and also in real estate and this was around the same time Kathleen was contemplating what her next steps were going to be, so we began talking about merging our practices.”
