About Nancy
Biography
Nancy DeVetter helps Georgia families when someone dies, and before that day comes. She founded DeVetter Law in Savannah in 2020 after settling her own father's estate, which required probate in three states. Before that, she spent more than a decade as a legal aid attorney in Atlanta and Savannah, where she led the Georgia Legal Services Program's Re-Entry and Record Restriction Project. Today she handles probate and estate administration, guardianship and conservatorship, will and trust disputes, and estate planning. She serves as a court-appointed guardian ad litem and sits as a judge by appointment in Chatham County Probate Court. Nancy received Step Up Savannah's Teinique Gadson Advocacy Award (2016) and the Robbie Robinson Award (2023). She is a member of the Savannah Bar Association and serves on the board of Goodwill of the Coastal Empire.

Highly Reccommend
My husband and I had put off doing our will for years because it seemed so overwhelming and complicated. Nancy made it a simple straight forward process. We feel confident now that everything is in order. It's not something that we have to worry about any more for our kids or for our future!

Nancy is very kind and helpful
Nancy is a wonderful person and attorney. I had her help me with my will and living will. She explained everything and was very kind and easy to work with. If you are loving for a great attorney Nancy is your person! I would definitely use her again if the need arises.
