About

I truly enjoy helping people plan for and journey through the later seasons of life. While I enjoy a good attorney joke (and there are lots of them rightfully earned by the profession), I consider it a true honor and privilege to get to know and serve so many good people over almost 30 years of practice. When people ask me what type of law I practice, I say, “Happy Law”. To me, a great day at the office is hearing my clients’ stories (especially the funny ones) and sharing mine. My primary method of simplifying the complex is through stories (many of which are quite humorous) and illustrations (my arts and crafts time). The truth is that “getting old ain’t for wimps,” and so many of my clients have or will experience serious health challenges as part of the aging process and eventually the loss of a loved one, be it a parent, spouse, or child. Such seasons are not happy or fun, but extremely stressful, bewildering, discouraging, exhausting and tearful. Many of my clients have exemplified what the covenant “in sickness and in health, till death us do part” truly means. So by Happy Law, I do not mean that I serve only people who are joking and laughing day in and day out, but rather I serve people who I enjoy spending time with and they with me, during the good seasons and even during the more difficult seasons. To me, Happy Law is all about people, so I consider myself blessed to serve so many incredible good people as we journey through these later seasons together.

Herb was recommended by a financial visor. In our meeting, Herb truly provided a lot of support and helped us understand the whole entire process of preparing and creating our estate settlement portfolio. We truly appreciated that he went step-by-step through the entire document to help us understand what we were creating, who will be the successor of our assets and how our children will be taken care of, and, overall, the entire family if an incident were to happen. This is an amazing life responsibility that everybody needs to truly take advantage, for the protection of children, assets, and family members. Complete our estate settlement portfolio gave us peace of mind, especially since the process was easy to understand and Herb took the time to teach us the importance. The meeting environment was very comfortable and the staff was really helpful. Our meeting was greeted with a welcome sign in mine and my husband's name. That small touch of customization really shows the caring and importance of our meeting. Overall, it was a quick and easy process, and anybody can get this done if they really put their time aside to complete it. My husband and I have been thinking of completing this for over 4 years and we have finally done it! Thank you, Herb and the staff for a great experience.

Mr. Herb Chavers was highly recommended by my financial advisor, as a caring man with much experience. This is very true. He, and his friendly staff, put me at ease and walked me through the process of estate planning with patience, courtesy, humor and a feeling that he truly cared. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Chavers.

My husband and I found Herb Chavers a great attorney. He set up our trust in 2007 and we updated it again at the end of 2020. Herb is very knowledgeable in his field and set up our trust very thoroughly . We feel a sense of relief that we have set up our assets, home and medical desires for the future in writing, so our loved ones will navigate the future much easier. We trust Herb and highly recommend his professional expertise .

Herb Chavers was welcoming and explained the entire process at my first appointment. He gave examples that were easy to follow too, which was helpful to me since I knew nothing about what I needed. He had me consider issues I would have never thought of and made the entire process seamless. I paid a reasonable amount of money for an outstanding estate plan/ trust. I was comfortable asking questions and never made to feel like my questions were stupid. Herb and his helpful staff, Karen, were a pleasure to work with. They were pleasant, kind, efficient and made the process super easy. If you want a preview, simply go to his website where he has videos that explain the process. They were very helpful. I would highly recommend Herb Chavers. He’s just a great man.

My wife and I were very pleased with the work Herb Chavers did in putting our estate planning portfolio together. Herb is very knowledgeable and was able to make a connection with us right away, as I'm sure he does with all his clients. He helped us through the funding of our revocable trust and was able to answer all of our questions. He answers emails very quickly. I would highly recommend Herb!

I realized I had been putting off doing my estate planning because it just seemed complicated and difficult. Plus, I did not even know what questions to ask or how the process worked. I felt overwhelmed and anxious. Mr. Herb Chavers had been recommended by a trusted financial advisor so I decided to give him a call. During our phone calls, emails, and meetings, Mr. Chavers made me feel very comfortable and explained all the details of the process. He listened to my needs, wants, and ideas and he was able to recommend a complete estate planning portfolio that would benefit, provide guidance, and make things easier for my beneficiaries. He helped me understand all the forms, tax implications, and the technicalities of my individual situation. The staff was also very experienced, considerate, helpful, and professional. Mr. Chavers is very knowledgeable, detail oriented, caring, and answered all of my questions in this very smooth and quick process. When I began this process it felt overwhelming but now I have peace of mind. I am very pleased with the results and Mr. Chavers' guidance. I would highly recommend Mr. Herb Chavers and his wonderful team.

All the COVID stuff got me thinking that it was time to do some adulting. Herb Chavers was extremely helpful at getting my assets in order. He answered all of my questions, made helpful suggestions, and kept a rather morbid process actually fun and informative. For the things that he was unable to do (but not because he doesn't know how), he put together a list of whom to contact and what to tell them to make sure my wishes are followed. That checklist of what I need to follow up on was very helpful. I didn't realize how much this was weighing on my mind, but now that it's done, I feel I can sleep much easier.

Herb was the most gracious, respectful, professional but most of all, knowledgeable Estate planning attorney we could have found!. He explained the process before and after should the unthinkable happen, we left with a sense of security knowing our legal docs are in place for the future. I highly recommend Herb, he will provide you the peace of mind you're looking for. WJM.

Whether you’re in need of a trust, estate planning or review of a current trust, Herb Chavers is very knowledgeable and caring. I have no problem referring Herb because I am confident in his abilities. He’s definitely the “go to” person for estate planning and Elder law.
