DGVE law

This was the last picture my husband took of me on 9/11/2001.

We were outside the place we stayed in Rome and it was too early for me, so he was laughing at me about it. Some things never change.

Later that day, our flight home to DC, via NYC, took a sharp turn north turning us into some of the “plane people” come from away in St. John’s, Newfoundland.

5 years ago, in another blog post, I shared a little of our story, captured in the journal I started handwriting there on the rock.

25 years later, I’m reflecting again, recalling what I saw coming then, and hoping for what I still believe it’s possible for us to choose instead. Link in bio.

At DGVE law, we have a right-sized plan for this: https://dgvelaw.com/how-we-can-help-you/estate-planning/comprehensive-or-legacy-nesting-estate-planning/legacy-nesting/flying-the-nest/

Turning 18 makes a legal adult out of a child overnight in the U.S., but most families don't plan for it financially until it's too late.

The new DGVE law conference room is just about ready now!

We are so grateful for the contractor and tradespeople who made our vision for our new space come into reality! Thank you. 🙏🏼

Huge shout-out to for the most positive moving experience ever despite the steep, uneven stairs in our old Hingham office, and a huge fireproof filing cabinet 🗄️ weighing many hundreds of pounds! 📦

Our team looks forward to settling into our new work home next to Hanover Crossing and welcoming you there 🔜.

Meanwhile, we wish you all a restful and restorative weekend, with our deepest gratitude to our family, friends, neighbors, colleagues, and clients who have sacrificed for our freedoms. 🙏🏼

💜 We remember those we’ve lost and wish their surviving loved ones peace of mind and comfort of heart. ☮️

3 weeks out now! 🏗️ New carpets going in. Logo-colored paint on the walls. Professional movers scheduled. IT team on deck.

After 10 years in our quirky, antique office in downtown Hingham Square, DGVE law is leveling up again - this time to newly renovated, ground floor space perfectly built for our next chapter. 🔑

Our new office is accessible and has ample, easy parking right outside the covered entry door. It's conveniently located right where Routes 3, 53, & 123 come together between Hanover Crossing shopping plaza and Target plaza, next to the YMCA.

🐢 We were able to bide our time until the time was right, and when the opportunity presented itself, it was time to act without hesitation, which we did. 🦅

📍 Effective June 1, 2026, our new address is: 51 Mill Street, No. 1, Hanover, MA 02339

It’s been an amazing decade right in the heart of downtown Hingham Square & we’re grateful for the good memories. As our firm turns 18 years old this year, we’re preparing to fly the nest 🪹 (but don’t worry, not too far)! We’re so excited about our firm’s next chapter. Sneek preview. 😉 Ran around all day. Stay tuned! More 🔜

It really, really is the little things - today was a dig in & grind production day, no client meetings, so that called for comfy casual clothes & a little touch of Spring beauty & cheer. In this office, lawyer & paralegal mind melding has turned matching outfits without advance planning like long time married couples do without trying too!
