Ms. Cavazos is awesome

Words cannot express how tremendously grateful I am with the services provided by the Law Office of Sylvia Cavazos. My son got in trouble and was being charged with Aggravated Assault with a deadly weapon. It was a nightmare and had no idea what to expect since we have never been involved with the ...justice system. I had some reservations about hiring an attorney to handle my son's case but in the end I was very glad that I made the decision to do so and that I hired Ms. Cavazos. Her professionalism, experience and personal charm gave me complete confidence in her ability to get the best possible outcome for my son. Needless to say my son's case was dismissed. I highly recommend her. Thank you very much! You were a blessing to me and my family.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Sylvia Cavazos is an excellent attorney. She is never rude, boastful or discourteous. She prepares every case methodically and has a history of getting solid results for her clients. She proves that lawyers that act rude and aggressive are not always serving their clients' best interests."

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.
