OUTSTANDING Representation!!!

Genevieve McGarvey was not just my attorney, she was the coach in my corner, championing, guiding, listening, helping me to stay strong. Genevieve is honest and straightforward. No hidden costs. No surprise turns. She knew what challenges I would face in my proceedings. She carefully and caringly... explained the process and prepared me for my day in court. Genevieve radiates knowledge and experience. She is brilliant and intentional in her delivery and she was able to eloquently communicate my position. I would (and have) recommend her. You need someone in your corner. You need the best -- and that’s Genevieve!

BEST Attorney in Galveston County

We hired Mrs. McGarvey to represent us in a difficult custody case. She was upfront about the challenges we faced and she kept us informed every step of the way. In addition to being incredibly knowledgeable and displaying the upmost professionalism, she is compassionate, trustworthy and the reason w...e won our case. Her courtroom skills, her professional presence, and her ability to articulate our position, made her the most valuable asset in the courtroom! We were able to get custody because of her hard work, dedication, and commitment to doing her job well. Thank you Mrs. McGarvey! You not only did it well, you are the reason our family is complete!

Divorce and Government cases

Genevieve McGarvey will tell you she is knowledgeable in an area but she will hire an expert instead and then charge you a small fortune because the contract stated they may. It's very expensive. I was charged way beyond what it should have cost for what needed to be done for my case. She charges for... interacting with Ex spouses when they call her or if she calls them and will send you the bill. When you hire her she is also your Ex spouses attorney and will charge you when in fact the Ex should have never have been allowed to do that, he should have had to use his own attorney. So my words to you if you are considering this attorney is Beware.
