Wonderful Lawyer

I just want to take the opportunity to express how our family is so grateful for Ms. Cavazos and her team.. My husband was facing up to 3years of federal prison.. We were all prepared for the worse and not expecting anything less. Ms. Cavazos with her hard work was able to have my husband be sentence...d three years probation!! We were all so surprised we were all in tears. Thank you Ms. Cavazos.. you don't how much we appreciated your time and effort.. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.. Sincerely Smith & Family

Case Dismissed

Ms. Cavazos went above and beyond my expectation. From day one in meeting her I knew things would go well. She was very knowledgable, empathic towards my situation, had a dominant presence in the court room. I am very grateful to have had such an exceptional lawyer. My case did end up getting dismiss...ed but if I had lost I know I made the right choice hiring Ms. Cavazos. Very grateful.

Extraordinary Attorney

Sylvia Cavazos provides professional and effective service. She represented me in two cases and was able to get them both dismissed. She guided me through the process and fought for the very best result, never dismissing the idea of taking the fight to trial if needed. I would highly recommend Sylvia... to anyone needing legal assistance!!!

White Collar Case

I was lost, confused, scared, my life was in shambles until I met Ms. Cavazos! Almost 2 years of worrying about what was going to happen with my case, my life, all through that time, Ms. Cavazos was with me and gave me all the support I needed. She was with me every step of the way. She took her ti...me to explain to me and my parents my legal case and what needed to be done. Not only she gave me comfort but she took her time to talk with my parents who are elderly and were extremely worried about me. Even though, I felt I was a pain, calling and asking about my case, she always made time to talk with me to give me comfort! I don't know what I would have done without her! She is an excellent attorney and knows what she is doing, very professional with a big caring heart!! On July 2016 she gave me the greatest news I could of had, she dismissed my case and my case was never open!!! She made this happen, and I can't thank her enough!! She changed my life and I will never forget her! Now I can live peaceful without that burden of my legal case that I could not live life and she made this happen! I highly recommend her, she will be with you every step of the way!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
