I provide client-centered and results-oriented family law representation in San Francisco and Alameda Counties. I help clients navigate the challenges of getting divorced, resolving child custody disputes, finalizing marital agreements, responding to domestic violence, and related family law matters.

I offer full representation (handling your entire case and from beginning to end), or limited scope and unbundled services, which are directed at specific issues or stages of your case (court appearance, drafting or reviewing documents, facilitating a settlement negotiation, and/or consultation).

A Professional and Sensitive Lawyer

Zoe Garvin handled my child custody, restraining order and divorce cases. This was an extremely difficult time for my ex-wife and myself. What I appreciate most about Zoe was that she was always respectful to both of us. The legal system is designed to pit a couple against each other and to amplify those differences in order to take advantage of them practically for its own sake but although she always acted in my best interests she was also kind and fair and did her best to be equitable towards and communicate with my ex sympathetically and in a way that left us the greatest opportunity for mutual self-resolution when that was still possible. I don't know about other people, but to me this was very important. She is a relatively soft spoken lawyer but it seemed to me the judge always listened to her very carefully and when he did not understand she made a point of clarifying the situation to him. With respect to my own worries Zoe always answered my questions in a way that made clear our options and allowed me to get some rest during that stressful time. For any man or any woman unlucky enough to have to go through Family Court, I would highly recommend her.

So easy to talk to and felt more like a friend than a lawyer

I adore Zoe Garvin and if I ever need anything again I will only go to her. She always responded within a short amount of time. I felt like she was my friend and that she really cared so it was easy talking to her. She made a horrid divorce a pleasant situation. Thank you Zoe!

No Stress

Ms. Garvin was extremely helpful and the entire process was stress-less. Any concerns I had during the divorce process were addressed and I would use her services again in the future.

Zoe Garvin was a great help.

My ex and I were trying to do the divorce ourselves, but dealing with the house required an attorney. We found Zoe and she was able to help us both (with a waiver approved by the judge). It turned out we had some documents filed with errors and she caught and fixed them. Zoe was highly responsive to any inquiries, even after the divorce was complete. Her prices were also very fair compared to many others. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Excellent family law option...

I was considering switching from my current lawyer to Zoe due to Zoe's more reasonable costs. While I ultimately was able to strike a deal to remain with my current lawyer, Zoe's professionalism, attentiveness and responsiveness to my inquiries about working with her were so outstanding that I felt compelled to write her a review. Although Zoe is a newly minted attorney, I found her advice during our consultations to be top notch and on-point with my custody matter. Further, she approaches her practice with a keen sense of practicality, which is incredibly important in family law. In short, I fully endorse Zoe and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of family law assistance. Lastly, I'll add that my positive comments about Zoe are not only from the perspective of a client, but also a fellow attorney, as I am also a lawyer.

Zoe is a great attorney!

She was patient and explained diligently what needed to be done in my case and was honest. She settled the case sooner than I expected and reimbursed the extra cash she had leftover. I would absolutely go back to her if I need more legal help or advice in the future, and I will refer her to anyone I know who needs legal help in this area.

Peace in the middle of a sticky situation

Zoe was great! She explained the process of the services that I needed then let me decide what exactly I wanted to do. This was really hard for me and my significant other. She also provided information for him to help him understand the process. We finally got it done. Zoe was very kind and patient and very professional.

Fast, understanding and communicative

Zoe helped me with a prenuptial agreement a few weeks out from our wedding. Everyone else I spoke to turned me away, said it's too late. My husband and I had done strong preparation and she could see it would be a simple process with us and said yes and helped us in a quick timeframe. All the way through working with Zoe I felt really listened to, I felt that she really knew her way around the case law and knew how to bring our philosophy of our marriage into legal-terms and onto paper while keeping us safe from future issues. I learnt a lot from working with Zoe and I feel like I found a friend in her at a time-pressured moment. I also loved the unbundled services options, this can be very helpful to reduce costs and keep the work-flow focussed. I strongly recommend Zoe for any help with Prenups, and I would turn to her in the future in a moment of legal distress. She genuinely loves to help and makes things happen.
