Amazing lawyer

I acquired Mrs. Savona’s services after 10 months with another highly touted law firm and around 10,000 dollars spent. Still guiding me to spend more money and go to trial, during and pandemic, I left and hired Lindsay Savona. She held one mediation and I was divorced within 2 months. She was kind an...d direct and felt like I was just working with a close friend. It was very comfortable and she was a complete breath of fresh air. It renewed my faith that good is out there in law, and not all about greed and money and being taken advantage of. I believe she is the most trustworthy and forthcoming lawyer and would advise anyone looking for a kind moral and ethical lawyer to be represented by her . Thank you Lindsay for all your help.

Divorce

She was great to work with and very professional. Highly recommended for mediation for divorce. She made a difficult situation as easy as it could be.

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.

Excellent mediator and attorney!

Lindsay was very fair and incredibly helpful and kind during a difficult and confusing time. She helped us navigate a very fair mediation, at a time when raw and strong emotions could've made things difficult. Lindsay was focused on finding the best solution for both of us and made certain that b...oth of us were heard and that we all remained on the same page and in agreement. When common ground on any specific topic was more difficult to find, Lindsay worked in a fair and calm way to bring everyone to the middle. We agreed to use mediation in the future if there was ever a need; we found ourselves in that situation and we saw Lindsay. She didn't disappoint and helped us find fair middle ground. Once the divorce was final, I sought her assistance individually with estate planning and a real estate closing. She was great! If the need came up I would absolutely use her again and have recommended her to friends without hesitation.
