Approachable and Responsive

Jack answered all my concerns and questions quickly. If he was not available he would make sure his legal (Eka) got with me. They took me through the most difficult circumstances imaginable. Thank you Jack and Eka.

Child support modification

Mr.Cavanagh was very patient in dealing with all of the difficulties of my case. He was pleasant to work with to get the child support and custody worked out in a way that was fair. He showed real concern for the welfare of my son. He was professional in guiding me with regards to counseling and gett...ing my sons voice heard throughout the case as well. Lastly he was thorough in that he went through the original divorce decree and making sure I received what I should have gotten during the divorce. I would recommend Mr.Cavanagh as well as use him again in the future.

Client

I do not live in St. Louis therefore, I had to search for an attorney to handle a fraud case. Mr. Cavanagh was very patient and kind during the entire process as I went through all the details regarding my case. Unfortunately, the first judge I had took forever to get through the case and ultimatel...y it was assigned to another judge. Through it all when I got frustrated with how long the case was taking Mr. Cavanagh remained steadfast to ensure he left no stone unturned with finding out as much as he could about the person that stole from me. If I had to hire an attorney again in St. Louis, I would have no problem with going back to Mr. Cavanagh to represent me in a case.

Divorce

He just informed me that I couldn't request a change of venue, and the only way he could represent me is if I moved to St. Louis.

Personal injury/fraud

Mr. Cavanagh has truly done his due diligence and has followed the paper trail of the person that frauded me out of a lot of money. He has worked with me even though we are in different states to ensure I am kept abreast of what is going on.
