Review Savyon Grant

Dropped the ball

Posted by

Ms. grant was hired to represent me and was not present during the initial court date and I'm not sure why. She also made inappropriate comments about the defendant to me, saying he was incredibly "good looking", as I was the plaintiff. I was shocked and disappointed by her lack of professionalism. When I met with her for the consultation, she presented herself as a confident, tough, and determined attorney ready to represent me. I trusted in that. I ended up seeking legal counsel from someone else that I can only say positive things about.

Savy was the best choice I made. Unfortunately I did something bad and was arrested. I interviewed several lawyers. Savy sat with me and explained the charges and she told me straight from the beginning, I don't think your not going to jail. Savy said the question will be how many years. She also said sometimes she may be able to file motion based on the law and maybe we could win. She filed many different motions. All I know is I thought I was going to jail. After she filed motion and we started hearings, the prosecutor offered probation and I was so happy. Savy worked hard to protect me. She is a good lawyer that cares.
