About

Joy G. Hamabe, Esq. is a dedicated attorney focused on estate planning and trust administration.  Located in Irvine, California, and serving all of the state, Joy provides personalized service to ensure that every client’s unique needs are met. 

Born and raised in Orange County California, Joy always had an interest in law.  During law school, Joy clerked for an estate planning and trust administration firm, where she quickly saw the impact she could have working in the field.  Although she began her legal career as a transactional attorney, Joy felt called back to estate planning where she knew she could have a positive impact helping others, as they plan for their futures or deal with the loss of loved ones. 

In 2020 Joy founded Hamabe Law with the intent to make estate planning accessible to people from all walks of life.  Estate planning can sometimes seem complicated and burdensome, so Joy strives to simplify and streamline the process so that her clients gain an understanding of how it works and so they feel secure with their planning. 

Joy is an active member of the California Bar Association and the Orange County Bar Association’s Trust and Estates and Solo Practitioner sections.  She spends her free time serving as team mom for her kids’ sports teams and volunteering at their school.  Joy is a Professional Member and an Advisory Council Member of the Assistance League of Laguna Beach. Joy is also a founding member of the OC Women for Good Giving Circle, an active member of the Woodbury Elementary School PTA.
