The Best of The Best

I was facing charges that carry serious mandatory minimum sentences, we're talking up to 10 years in prison. Cara was extremely communicative, kind, knowledgeable, and respectful throughout the entire process. Any questions that my family or I had were answered and our concerns were addressed. Within... the first day of mitigation with the state, after being presented with the defensive arguments and evidence from Cara, I went from facing 10 years to 1. After a final deliberation with the state a deal was made for no jail time and a less severe felony sentence. I'm now on probation and am able to take the next steps to move forward with my life as a free man! I'm beyond grateful and satisfied with the quality representation that Cara provided me. I'm certainly not planning to ever have to be in court again but, if I ever find myself in a tough spot I would have Cara represent me again.

Phenomenal Attorney

Attorney Cavallari is an exceptional individual who stepped up and helped out my nephew with an unfortunate circumstance he found himself in. While at his first court date, there representing himself, Ms. Cavallari approached him after realizing that he was clearly overwhelmed and had no idea how to... manage this case on his own. Attorney Cavallari stepped up, took on his case and got him the second chance he deserves. Her trustworthy character and compassion towards this case not only put our family at ease but was a tremendious relief to my nephew. I can't say enough positive things about her professionalism, her attention to her clients and her character. Attorney Cara Cavallari is highly recommended.

The absolute BEST in the business!

When I found myself in the scariest moment of my life facing criminal charges I was referred to Attorney Cavallari. From the very first phone call, I felt at ease and I knew she was not going to let me get railroaded by the judicial system. From being under investigation to months later being arreste...d and then going through the judicial proceedings, Cara made sure she was by my side every step of the way. My case was not only lengthy (mostly in part of the COVID pandemic) but it was very complex. Cara worked every single day on my case, even when it was being continued over and over. She consulted with the best experts and communicated with me constantly. Not only was Cara passionate about my case but she truly believed in me as a person! Every time I met with Cara, I felt we were as prepared as we could be for the next steps in this terrifying process. She assured me when we were not happy with the states first offer that she was not done fighting. She fought until the offer was reduced to something we found acceptable. Although Cara was fully prepared to take my case to trial if I chose to go that route, I ultimately decided to take a plea deal. I know that I received the most lenient sentence because of Cara’s determination and expertise. I was facing a very long term of incarceration and because of Attorney Cavallari I was only sentenced to a few months. After my sentencing, Cara contacted me every single week that I was incarcerated and worked directly with the prison to have me released early. She continued fighting even after my sentence was handed down!!! Attorney Cavallari also kept in constant communication with my son and my family when I was incarcerated. She answered all of their questions and concerns, explained to them what the next steps would look like and helped put their minds at ease. Beyond that, Cara has also offered to communicate with any future employer to help me obtain employment again and put this nightmare behind me. I will be using Cara when it comes time to apply for a pardon and I would recommend her services to anyone who finds themselves needing legal counsel. She is truly the best in the business!!!!! I wish I could give her 100 stars. My family and I are eternally grateful for her support and hard work. She is not only the best attorney but she is an amazing person who truly believes in her clients.

A+ Attorney!!!

I hired attorney Cavallari to help me file a sentence modification, knowing that it was a long shot, but with Cara on my side I was hopeful. She was very thorough, informative, and attentive to all of my questions. When it was time for court, I was very pleased with how Cara represented me and fought... for the outcome we received. Yes we won our motion, but even if we didn’t I would still be writing this review because she made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. I give Cara 2 thumbs up and will recommend her to anyone who is in search of a highly educated lawyer. Thank you Cara!
