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.

Amazing Family Attorney!

Contacting Attorney Savona was the best decision I've ever made for custody of my child. Attorney Savona was very professional, answered any and all questions I ever had. She helped ease away any fears I had about losing my child. Most of all she listened! She listened and made me feel like I wasn't ...alone in the fight. She was extremely supportive through the whole thing. Wish Attorney Savona was my attorney when I was having a custody fight over my daughter many years ago. Because the outcome of that custody would have turned out much better than it did. I highly recommend Attorney Savona if you need a great family attorney

Glad I hired her, and would do so again

My marriage had clearly ended in all but name alone, and it was time to go through legal process associated with divorce. I met with Lindsay for the initial consultation, and she was upfront and honest with exactly what to expect throughout the process, including associated fees and timelines. Sh...e didn't promise big and not deliver, she put it into very easy terms for me, a guy who was an emotional wreck at the time, to understand. She stood by me every step of the way, she maintained contact and kept me up to date on everything that was happening on the legal side of things. There were times when I'm sure I wasn't a joy to deal with, but she stuck with me and helped me through it. This divorce took some nine months from initial filing to final judgement, and she put in alot of work on my behalf. From meetings with both lawyers and the ex, to emails to even texts at some points, she was constantly engaged with representing me to the best of her ability and making sure the outcome was as 'just/fair' as possible. Looking back, I could not have asked for more. She pushed to move things along when they stalled, she filed motions to make things progress when they stalled, and she did what was in not only in my best interest, but in the best interest of my daughter. While there are still a few loose ends being tied up, the final judgement and day in court is over, and she helped me get through this very difficult chapter and move on with my life. I can't recommend her or her firm highly enough.

Highly recommended!

I have nothing but amazing things to say about lindsay! She has given me sound advice, and handled my custody case flawlessly. She also still answers my questions post-court date with my best interest in hand. She is a pleasure to work with and a powerhouse in the courtroom. I would recommend her to ...anyone I know and I also know without a doubt who I'd call now for future court cases. Thank you so much for working with me!

Honest, reliable and organized

Lindsay was extremely honest with us beginning with our consultation. She explained to us what was ideal and we ended up receiving far more than expected. Lindsay was always prepared and either her or Jessica responded to any questions or concerns in a very timely manner. She always represented us in... a professional, respectable assertive manner. We were beyond happy with her representation and highly recommend her to others.
