I am working with Garvin on various matters of estate planning, some of which are straightforward (a will, power of attorney, advance directive) and some a bit more complicated (developing a trust). In all respects, Garvin has shown himself to be competent, smart, caring, and efficient. His explanations of the legal points involved are easy for the layperson to follow and understand. His firm's office is centrally located and easy to find, and has large windows overlooking Willamette Park which create a welcoming atmosphere. His firm's staff have likewise been efficient and pleasant. Highest recommendation.
