Phenomenal services

Lindsay was honest, speedy and extremely organized. She assisted us in a joint custody battle. In our initial consultation she was up front and honest with what she can promise to complete. We ended up having many more bonuses. Lindsay and Jessica were very organized and always kept us updated. She a...lso was very speedy in her response time. We are very greatful and satisfied with Lindsay’s services.

Couldn’t ask for anyone better

Attorney Savona is very professional and cares about her clients well being. She is very thorough with gathering all the information necessary for your case. With my case personally, she was always in communication with me either updating me on what’s happening or what she needed me to do next. She w...as always one step ahead. I’m all about communication and trust and with Lindsay you have both. Attorney Savona fought for my family, and for that I will be forever grateful. I would highly recommend Attorney Savona to anyone needing legal representation in family law.

Professional and passionate

Lindsay and her firm represented me during my custody hearing. Not only were they professional and prompt, but they fought for my rights and allowed justice to be served to my ex for the wrong and negligent actions he was committing. Everything was explained to me in a way I was able to understand w...hile keeping me apprised on the status of my case, as well as making sure I was awarded what I was entitled to. In the courtroom, Lindsay’s passion and commitment to her career was very evident, and everything she said was always from the heart. I never knew of an attorney who cared as much as she does for her clients. I highly recommend her and her firm to anyone seeking represented justice regarding their family court case.

Lindsay saved my relationship with my son.

I had tried other lawyers, getting advice, even going pro-se for the cause. I had found that circumstances were getting more and more complex and convoluted. All I wanted was consistent visitation, harassment to stop and to be a real dad; not just a father to my son. My first consultation, I knew I h...ad the right lawyer, because she asked ALL the questions one could hope for. She quickly understood the scope, depth and complexity. What's more, I found more often, she knew what to expect, the steps and the outcome before each and every step of the way. This is not a 'band-aid' lawyer, but a really articulate mediator. When that couldn't be done, she really stepped it up; and in this, other attorneys and judges could see clarity in the quagmire that had been manufactured. She's passionate, honest and a good listener. Please be aware that you also have to listen and understand her as well. Family court does not work fast, but the judgments are. Lawyers like her know this, and take it on without the same frustration the parents have in such a fight. She will tell you how she sees it, and that is an important element in the overall chemistry. I've worked with her for 6 years. Without her, I would not have a relationship with my son that I do now.
