ROURKE LAW’s roots run deep in Sullivan County as it is the successor firm to the law practices of Myron M. Friedman late of Liberty, NY and Eric J. Groper late of Monticello, NY both respected practitioners of their time. This rich history dates back 70 or more years and provides a foundation of reputable lawyering in the county.
