Review Savyon Grant

PPE Procurement Attorney and Paymaster

Savy is awesome. I’ve been a PPE broker since March 2020. I was unable to close transactions. Every time my deals went a2a, I never knew what was happening, and the deal would never close. Something had to change. Another broker group recommended her, and our group decided to use her as well. Instead of submitting our orders to the Seller’s brokers or Seller’s attorney, we now submit our docs to Savy, and she takes care of the rest. She verifies the buyer, works with buyers attorney to revise the as needed. She also works with the buyers banker to verify funds prior to submitting the order to the Sellers attorney. she’s present at every a2a. She knows all the players involved, and she made all the difference! Thank you Savy !!!

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.

Savy was able to negotiate a resolution with my adversary after attempting same with several other attorneys who did not even come close to the level of success. If you want someone to advocate on your behalf and be successful in court- do yourself a favor and hire Savy.

I had two traffic violation tickets I wanted to fight - and found online the office of Savyon Grant. I am happy I did - from the beginning, I felt I was in good hands. Busy as she was, Savy took time to speak to me on the phone, explain to me how the law works and what she can realistically hope to achieve. She spoke to the prosecutor about my case prior to the hearing in court, and was able to negotiate a really good outcome (made one ticket go away, and lowered the penalty for the other one considerably). On the day of the hearing - because it was postponed a couple of times due to inclement weather, etc. - another lawyer from Savy's office, Adam Paskoff, came to represent me - he was just as professional and courteous as Savy was, and did a great job. Highly recommend this firm to anyone. A great experience all around.

Ms. Grant was hired to help me save my house and get my mortgage payments reduced. I tried to go through some loan modification company that never really did much. After that I was frustrated and attempted to apply myself. I was denied. Ms Grant and her staff sat me down review all require submissions put everything together. She got my mortgage rate reduced to 2% for first 2 yrs, 3% 3rd yr, 4% for 4th yr and 5 % for the balance of the mortgage. I highly recommend Ms Grant.

Best I've ever had. I really wish I hired her from the beginning. I would have been so much happier and saved thousands! Not only is Ms. Grant an excellent attorney, she is extremely fair, patient and extremely thorough When we were in the courtroom, she removed the element of surprise. She made me feel so comfortable and left the other attorney mumbling words of confusion. I will never hire another lawyer ...she does it all! I'm even going to hire her to help me fix my credit.

Savy Grant is a brilliant, honest and hard working attorney. She is upfront and on top of everything. I had a case that was complex but she knew the law inside and out . I went to see her about ISP and she saw something else in the case no one else mentioned. She helped us in Post Conviction Relief and a Motion to re-consider a sentence. She is awesome and terrific, and has a great legal team! She really cares about her clients! I personally recommend her.

I used ms grant for a criminal matter. She was honest and told it to me the way it is. She fought my battle and won. I really want to thank her for saving my life and keeping me out of jail. She gave me a 2nd chance. I was so scared and she was the only one willing to help.

She will find a way to keep your money , I was selling my property but the sale fell through before going to closing . I asked for a partial refund multiple times for few weeks and kept getting the run around until she finally told me that you get nothing . not to mention it takes forever to get anything accomplished . It was a terrible experience

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.
