Very personable and professional!
Joy was recommended to my wife and I to assist us in establishing a shared parenting agreement with my son's mother. This was during a very difficult time for us because I was in the middle of cancer treatment. Joy made everything easy to understand and hassle-free, plus her fees were very reasonable. She showed a lot of empathy for me and my family. We were very satisfied and would highly recommended her services!

Great Job
Joy helped so much in my custody and divorce case. Anytime there was ever an issue with my ex, I was able to call her and get some type of resolution immediately. Even after court was over and things were said and done, I was able to call her with any problems that popped up. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a divorce lawyer or for custody. I’ve recommended her to several people, and I know a few have used her with that recommendation.

Very efficient and friendly
Joy handled my collaborative divorce. She did so with sensitivity and kept me informed of everything, and was patient while my now ex-wife and I dragged our heels for a while. I would recommend her highly.

Estate planning
Ms. Savren was took a lot of time with me and my wife about our wills. She explained things in depth. We both feel very satisfied with her work for us in estate planning. I would highly recommend her. Particularly if you are a gay couple.

Through, Kind and Timely
Joy initially helped my husband and I with our wills, living wills and Medical power of Attorney paperwork 12 years ago. We then contacted Joy and again and used her services with my mother-in-laws estate after she died 2 years ago. Joy is knowledgeable, and if she doesn't know something she researches it and provides an answer promptly. It was a pleasure doing business with her and plan to contact her again to update our wills.

Excellent Work
Joy has been our family attorney for over 20 years. We have turned to her several times and have felt her knowledge has saved us over and over. She is professional and kind at the same time. I cannot recommend Joy Savren strongly enough.

Great Attorney
A couple years ago Ms. Savren did a wonderful job for me regarding child support and custody. She has a bulldog mentality when she fights for her clients.

Excellent work on my divorce
Joy made a very difficult situation seem not as horrible. She protected my interests and insured that I gained custody of the home and the children. In addition, despite the fact that my ex wife refused to work, Joy made sure I paid no child support (my ex has the kids 12 days a month).

A complete God send...
Joy was a complete God send. I was living in Birmingham Alabama and was looking to move to Cleveland Ohio to be near my young son at the time. It was a nasty divorce/ custody situation and my ex-husband was raising our son in Cleveland Ohio and I knew that I would need legal help to be able to see my son. She was with me all the way and worked with me on so many different levels. She worked with me from 2008 until 2015. I highly recommend Joy to anyone looking for legal expertise... We still send Christmas Cards to one another, that's how special this lady is to me. God Bless- Shelly

My attorney
Ms. Savren revised wills & mpoas for myself & my partner. She also dissolved a living trust for my partner & handled the revision/filing of property deeds. She explained all our options in detail & advised the best course of action for us. All the paperwork was done in a timely manner. We are very satisfied.
