Estate Planning Is About Life

hands, macro, plant

Some people put off estate planning to avoid thinking about the end of life. My personal background has given me a clear understanding that in fact, estate planning is about living. Although my father sadly passed away when I was only 19 years old, my family was fortunate that he and my mother had a solid estate plan in place. Thanks to their careful planning, we were able to continue the family business and stay in our home.

All four of us children were able to go to college and achieve productive careers through the provisions of my father’s estate plan — the crowning jewel of his lifetime of financial planning. Losing a parent at a young age was not easy but we saw the way to a bright future, thanks to his estate plan.

I was soon motivated to go to law school to equip myself to help others meet their own generation transitions. Through my law practice, I aim to pass on to others the tools and knowledge that can make a lifelong difference. My passion comes from my awareness that estate planning enables families and individuals at all income levels to build thoughtful legacies.

Our Client's Reviews

These are a couple examples of the many expressions of gratitude often received from clients of Joy Garvey, PLLC:

I came to Joy Garvey after my husband passed away, I was feeling very vulnerable. I learned that I needed to put my assets into a trust. I knew NOTHING about how to do it, what it entailed, or much of anything about it. I had spoken to several attorneys prior to choosing Ms. Garvey. When we spoke on the phone she was all about helping me choose the services that best suit me. She made me feel extremely comfortable. When we met she ensured that I was fully informed about how the trust works before we finalized anything. She was fantastic in helping me better understand all the “ins and outs” of this process and what it is. When I was finalizing the details of the trust with my financial institution, they were absolutely excited about how well all the documents were prepared. She was so thorough that we did not have to fix anything. I have and will continue to recommend Joy Garvey to everyone. She has gone and continues to go above and beyond to help if I have any further questions or actions that need to be taken.

I can’t say enough about this attorney, she is amazing. When I first started looking for a lawyer everyone i talked to said my case was to difficult and because it wasn’t a sure win they wouldn’t take it. From the first time I talked with Ms. Garvey she was different she cared and it wasn’t just another case, she made me feel like I was the only client she had even though she was extremely busy. She fought for nearly three years and every time there was a hurdle and everyone including other attorneys would say to let it go that it couldn’t be done she proved them wrong. I am totally grateful for all she did she overcame and won against many odds. I would recommend her to anyone.

“Finding a caring, superb, reasonably priced attorney that you can trust is hard to do. But look no further! Joy is amazing. She is professional, thorough, and most importantly empathic to her clients. When necessary, she will fight vigorously for her clients (must be that ice hockey background). But while she can be tough as nails when required to defend your case, she is caring and supportive toward her clients. Sometimes tough = cold. That couldn’t be further from the truth for Joy. She is warm, inviting, hardworking, and diligent. While she focus on wills, trusts, estates, and probate — she is well-equipped to take on a variety of issues. In my case, I had a landlord-tenant litigation issue arise. While the outcome is pending, her professionalism, competency in the area of law, and her ability to craft a persuasive and legally sound argument has impressed me. (I will update with my review post-litigation). Truly, if you are looking for an attorney, look no further!! You will not be disappointed.”
