What you should know and what you can take absolute confidence in.

Writing about Cindy Salvo is a joy! After having to retain a lawyer to represent me in an Age Discrimination case, something I had no previous experience with, I initially engaged with a large and very prominent Law Firm specializing in these matters. Unfortunately, I soon found out that what was ...promised didn't line up with my expectations. The fee schedule originally agreed to was quickly amended once the process started, and the new price tag escalated dramatically without any assurances of the outcome of my case. I felt cheated and misled and lost all confidence in the firm and its leadership. Quire unexpectedly, a dear friend recommended I contact The Salvo Law Firm having had personal experience with Cindy Salvo in a labor case he had been involved in. Based on this, I reached out by phone, shared some information with an assistant, and was given the assurance I would hear back. Within just a few hours, if it was that long, I got a call from Cindy Salvo, and from there our journey together began, What transpired over the next two and a half years was nothing less than amazing. Cindy took my case, but even more important, she took up my cause in an incredibly personal way. She was meticulous in every detail, and constantly in contact with me. I wasn't just another client file on her desk. She made me feel mine was the only one! In early 2025 , my case went to trial. The Judge's instructions to the jury of eight, once all testimony and arguments were concluded, was that I as Plaintiff had to have a jury verdict of no less than 7 to 1 to prevail. The odds were against me, but I knew that Cindy had done a masterful job in presenting my case. If we failed, it would not be because of her! The jury came back from deliberations with an 8-0 verdict in my favor. Cindy went on to live up to every agreement she made at the outset. No additional fees , expenses or otherwise. She was true to her word from beginning to end. I've had much experience with attorneys over the course of my long career in business, but never experienced anything like this. To Cindy , this was "personal", not merely professional. What she did all through was above and beyond! What started out as a professional relationship grew to be a deeply personal one. Because that's who and what Cindy is, both an advocate and a friend. I started out saying writing about Cindy was a joy! This testimonial is just that, more than deserved, and the very least I can do to express my gratitude. Hopefully it will give you the confidence and assurance you need in facing your own challenges in the legal system. If you follow my lead, I can give you the absolute assurance you will not be disappointed!

In my experience, NJ's best

In my opinion, which, unfortunately, is based upon much experience with lawyers, I would recommend Attorney Cindy Salvo as New Jersey's best. I had the good fortune to find Attorney Salvo when I desperately needed a real pro to file an appeal of an extraordinarily unfair court order that had been gr...anted when I was acting pro se. The lower court had paid no attention to my arguments. Cindy took the case, listened to the facts, did the legal research, wrote an excellent fact-based and law-based appeal, and won a reversal of the major part of the trial court order. Cindy does what an attorney is supposed to do - she actually does the work required to do a good job - no short cuts: she listens, (this is where her psych degree comes in handy), she reads the file, she researches the law, she communicates, and she takes timely action. Cindy gives her clients their best chance at justice. Cindy is honest and bills in a reasonable manner. I would highly recommend Attorney Cindy Salvo.

Excellent Attorney and Person of Character

Cindy Salvo handled my lawsuit against my bank perfectly. My bank allowed theft of over $57,000 from my account and was extremely arrogant. They refused to refund my money despite me following their procedure to the letter. I was referred to Cindy by another attorney. Cindy took my case and bea...t the bank so bad they ended up refunding all of my money and even paying all of my attorney fees! Like anyone, I don't wish to have legal troubles. But if I do in the future, and the issue falls under Cindy's scope of practice, I will DEFINITELY use her again. I would HIGHLY recommend Cindy to anyone. If you want an attorney who works hard even until midnight or later communicating with you, who shows genuine interest in you as a client, and who will stick with you until you are satisfied with the outcome, hire Cindy. I am so happy with Cindy Salvo's level of performance I call her Salvo the Great!
