Can’t say enough

Thankful for being referred to Atttorney Lindsay Savona for my divorce proceedings and many other issues that have followed. Lindsay is attentive, considerate, caring, honest, always put my best interest first. I would refer Lindsay to anyone who is going through a divorce and in the need of a great... lawyer.

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.

Divorce

Lindsay represented both myself and my wife in our divorce ,she was caring and understanding and I think by representing both of us it was easier for us both,we always met her together and worked out our issues instead of going back and forth with separate attorneys ,she did a great job

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.
