Curtis L. Lyman, Sr. — Firm Founder

Curtis Lyman was born and raised in Albion, NY. A graduate of Hiram College and Cornell University College of Law, he was admitted to practice and returned to Albion in 1951. He left the firm of Church, Lyman & Church in 1961 to start a solo general practice at 51 N. Main Street.

In 1974, Governor Malcolm Wilson appointed Curtis Sr. as District Attorney, a position he held until 1985. The partnership of Lyman & Lyman was formed when he was joined by son Curtis Jr. in 1978, and later by Nathan in 1981. Curtis Sr. continued the practice of law until his untimely death in 1992.
