      Review Ilir Kavaja

      Professional Attorney

      Posted by

      Attorney Kavaja was amazing. It was evident that he cared about me, not just the outcome of the case. If you are looking for a lawyer to handle a complicated Employer issue, look no further. Attorney Kavaja is the one.

      Superhuman Lawyer

      Posted by

      Working with attorney Kavaja has been an absolute pleasure. He has been thoughtful and his communication is extremely fast and punctual. I would definitely recommend him to any other people looking for a quality, affordable lawyer. It’s very rare that you find a legal professional that takes care of you like family. If you are looking for a great lawyer look no further. He’s exactly the type of attorney that gets things done when I when you are stressed and need answers. I slept like a baby knowing that he was on the case. Thank you so much you superhuman lawyer!!!

      Just Excellent

      Posted by

      The case I had against be was completely bogus. Mr. kavaja was absolutely fantastic. Through my experience through this he's kept me in the loop and always had my best interests in mind. If there was a problem or a question, he contacted me right away to get things straightened out. 10/10 would DEFINITELY recommend. He's the only person so far who didn't just assume I was a criminal.

      A Professional and Dedicated Attorney

      Posted by

      I highly recommend llir Kavaja as an intelligent and skilled lawyer. I was desperately searching for a lawyer that would even take my case. llir listened compassionately,believed in me and took my case. He was extremely efficient, easy to work with and always available to me. llir is confident and will fight for you. He is someone you would most certainly want on your side. He was especially masterful in the art of persuasive settlement negotiation and came through for me in a major way. I am so grateful that I finally found an attorney that had my best interest and I could trust with one of the most difficult times in my life.

      Efficient, clear, no BS

      Posted by

      Ilir got the job done, was very clear about my case (no confusing or vague legalese), and was pleasant to work with. I’m very glad I retained him rather than an old school lawyer who would’ve likely taken much longer to get the work I needed completed.

      Knowledgeable and professional -Ilir Kavaja

      Posted by

      Ilir was very focused on my case from Day 1 and made me feel very comfortable. He was available to chat or text around the clock and took the time to explain proceedings in a language that made sense to someone without a law background. His knowledge of employment law was terrific and was extremely professional. I am happy I chose Ilir to represent me and will recommend his services to anyone.

      Ilir took on my case when I was in desperate need of an attorney who would take me seriously and relate to me as a person. He was always extremely honest and patient with me throughout my court proceedings and got me the best outcome I could have asked for. Ilir was always available to speak with me about my concerns and went out of his way to put my needs as a client first. His expert knowledge in his field and professional approach to practicing law left me very happy that I chose Mr. Kavaja to represent me and I would recommend his services to anyone and everyone.

      Defense on Assault and Battery, and Disorderly conduct charges.

      Posted by

      Attorney Kavaja was an excellent attorney throughout my case. He was very helpful from the very beginning in attaining all of the facts of the case and then setting up a one-on-one meeting with me in order to discuss options to pursue as potential outcomes. This was very helpful in putting my mind at ease because I knew he was doing everything in his power to represent me well and seek the best outcome for me. Attorney Kavaja was present at every single court date on time and ready to do his a great job. The hard work Mr, Kavaja exemplified when negotiating with the D.A. and his office truly made the difference in the result of my case, and it is something I will always remember and truly appreciate about him. If you are in need of great representation Ilir Kavaja is who you need to hire. I can say with assurance that he will always put his best foot forward and try to reach the best possible outcome for his clients.
