Unresponsive and sets up consultations that she does not attend

I set up a consultation with this attorney to make some time sensitive modifications to my custody agreement and the time comes for the consultation call, which I took time away from my work day for, and I never received a call. I received an apology text from her after 5:00 that day saying she got ...stuck in court. I shrugged that off because I know things happen and that may have been the case, but a simple text saying she was not going to be able to meet would have been nice, rather than me waiting around for the call. Her text asked if I was available for a consultation the following week at a specific time. Well, once again……I took time out of my workday and waited and did not get a call again. I text asking if she was going to meet as we had a consultation scheduled and tried calling her office and left a message. No response! Now, I have wasted a good week and a half and then some on remedying some very time sensitive custody issues! Just downright unprofessional! Makes me wonder if she would show up to court on time if I actually went with her as my attorney. Maybe this was a blessing in disguise!

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.

Thorough and caring professional

I don't normally review too many things, but in this case I felt it worthwhile. I hired attorney Savona after interviewing many for my divorce. She was actually my choice right away. To be very honest I was not expecting a difficult divorce but that changed quickly. My experience with Attorney Savona... was excellent. I had a seven day trial that was very difficult. The preparations and my interactions with Lindsay Savona during the entire process were always professional. She was always available to listen to me and did her best to keep me grounded. She showed up to every court hearing prepared and on time. She also did her best to avoid a trial, but when the other party is unreasonable you have no choice. I felt Lindsay always represented my best options and truly cared about the outcome. To this day I still consult her for advice and legal questions, two plus years after my divorce was final.
