Happy Customer--

Atty. Cavallo was able to direct a difficult divorce. Patient listener when needed but agressive when representing me and my future! Was available to answer "what if" questions and had the knowlege and experience to back up his advice. Happy to have had Atty. Cavallo to represent me through proces...s. It wasn't finished with the decree--he has been available for follow up advice needed for smooth transition.

Couldn't have asked for more

Mr. Cavallo is the second matrimonial attorney I have engaged. My divorce was complicated and included my ex- wife's desire to move to California and take our children with her. My first counsel allowed me to fight a losing case until I had depleted my funds and had to settle - losing each point of t...he case. I wish counsel would have advised me to cut my losses and settle from the beginning. My child support payments were set at a level at which I could not succeed in paying all of the money. I just didn't earn enough. My ex- wife sued me from California in the Bridgeport Superior Court - accusing me of being a year behind in payments. I answered the suit pro se. When I understood the seriousness of the suit and the potential penalties which included incarceration, I knew I needed counsel. I found Attorney Cavallo through one of his advertisements. His ad stayed that he was a "father's rights" attorney. I met with him and shared my story. I was truly concerned about what could possibly happen in court. He reviewed my file and assured me that he could fix the errors committed in the first adjudication of my divorce. Mr. Cavallo was able to re-open my original judgement and show that, based on my income, not only was I NOT behind in my payments but in fact had overpaid! He was able to have my entire payment history reviewed and reset at the proper level. Also, he arranged for me to stop paying her directly and pay her through the State. I was never late or behind again and successfully supported my children until they reached adulthood. The process took about a year in total. Attorney Cavallo and his staff kept me completely informed every step of the way and led me to a successful resolution of my case. A side benefit of his work on my behalf was that my children's mother and I were able to develop a cordial relationship once these issues were settled. My children directly benefited from this. In fact, after my last payment was made, my ex- wife thanked me for never being late with child support! I can neither thank Attorney Cavallo nor recommend him highly enough for all he has done on my behalf. Working with him was a great experience of rectifying a bad situation. His Professionalism, punctuality and performance were above and beyond anything for which I could have hoped. Thank you Mr. Cavallo!!
