Excellent

Before moving to Tennessee, Ms. Garvin worked with us to establish a trust for my special needs son, Matthew. I will always remember when Ms. Garvin asked Matt if there was anything that he wanted to bequeath. Matt, very seriously, responded that he wanted to make sure his brother received his vide...o games. Ms. Garvin responded with equal seriousness and made sure that Matt's wishes were honored. We also engaged Ms. Garvin to represent my father, who had a massive stroke that inhibited his ability to communicate. Upon meeting my father in the nursing home, Ms. Garvin asked my wife and I to leave the room so she could "talk" to her client privately. I am very impressed with that kind of commitment.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
