The month of May always represents a time when students begin their next journey, whether it’s moving on to the next grade level, pursuing a career after graduation, or continuing to a higher degree. As a law firm that supports and values personal and professional growth, we often employ young professionals gaining legal experience between undergraduate studies and law school. This mutually beneficial relationship allows us to train young professionals on real-world career expectations, while in return, they bring innovative solutions to our workplace. With this comes the reality that our trusted and valuable team members won’t be with us forever.

Over the years we have bid many heart-warming farewells to many valuable employees and this year is no different. We are pleased to report that two of our extremely valued employees have been inspired by their experience at Garvish Immigration Law Group to attend law school, and of course, letting them go is bittersweet for all those who had the pleasure of working with them.

Alissa Heynan, a legal assistant who worked for Garvish Immigration for 2 years, will head to University of Michigan Law School in the fall, while Kaitlyn Bright, also a legal assistant for 1.5  years, will head to University of Samford School of Law. Both attribute their decision to attend law school in part to the knowledge and inspiration gained while at Garvish.

Garvish Immigration Law cultivates a culture of happiness and personal growth rarely found in typical law firms, and so the firm definitely supports Alissa and Kaitlyn as they take this next step in their lives.  Garvish’s culture attracts amazing candidates to the firm, making traditional recruiting unnecessary. When employees leave, it is invariably to pursue a life goal fostered and supported by the firm, which knows that the positive relationship will continue to create benefits for both employees and the firm.

“We approach everything we do with the understanding that the gratitude and positive energy we put into our people, our clients and beyond always comes back to us, so we trust that when changes occur, greatness is being created—we are so excited for Alissa and Kaitlyn.” – Elizabeth Garvish

Garvish Law Group strives to create the happiest law firm in America, and in doing so we strive to break from traditional law firm structures and to create a new model of firm. This new model is open and receptive to  the needs and goals of both our clients and our team, empowering both to achieve their goals in the most personally fulfilling manner. 

We appreciate the leadership and dedication Alissa and Kaitlyn brought to Garvish Immigration  and send them our best wishes as they achieve the next piece of their dreams.
