Bringing Balance to the Office As an office manager and case manager, Joan Luymes is something of a legal jack-of- all-trades. She handles much of our general office administration while also handling a number of client cases with our attorneys.
Throughout the day, you’ll find Joan on the phone speaking with clients about their cases, as well as medical providers and insurance adjusters. This is balanced with her administrative duties — a balance she has down to a science.
It goes without saying, Joan’s days are often busy, but she’ll tell you those days go by with lightning speed, and there is rarely a dull moment.
Joan loves talking with our clients, whether it’s a conversation over the phone or in the office. “I like getting to know each one of them as a person,” she says. “It makes my day when I feel that I have been able to help someone.”
And Joan has been there for many of our clients. As a member of the VanMeveren Law Group team since 2016, she’s touched a lot of lives.
This year, however, Joan’s life is changing in a very special way. At the end of February, she will become a grandma for the first time. She says she can’t wait to hold her baby granddaughter. Of course, family is huge for Joan. She loves visiting her kids in San Diego and Seattle, though her kids really make her day when they come back to Fort Collins to visit their mother. Joan also tries to do a 5K with her sister at least once a month.
