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 t...hose 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 t...o 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.

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.
