Although Robyn's legal career is just beginning, she's already been recognized by Northern California Super Lawyers as a Rising Star.
Jeffrey Stephens, who also joined the firm in July of this year, came to California for law school and immediately fell in love with Napa Valley. Jeff, who graduated from UCLA School of Law, is a member of GVM's Wealth Preservation and Tax teams, specializing in high-end estate planning and trust administration. Jeff brings a unique perspective and mix of experience to the GVM family.
James Haskell, the third attorney who joined the firm in July 2012, also grew up in California. James received his LLM from top-ranked Georgetown University Law Center, is a member of the firm's Wealth Preservation, Business, and Tax teams, and brings vast experience in these areas. James has also worked in the U.S. Senate and with his grandfather's cattle and grain exporting business.

Gantry, who also serves as a part-time airline pilot, graduated third in his class from University of the Pacific, McGeorge School of Law in 2011. While in law school, Gantry received the ALI-ABA Scholarship & Leadership Award.

Elizabeth Nuss, who was sworn in as a member of the California State Bar today by the Honorable Diane Price, Presiding Judge of the Napa County Superior Court, was born and raised in Sonoma County, California.
