"Sylvia is an exceptional lawyer who has an incredible knowledge of the law and a personal dedication to her client's needs which surpasses all others. She is an extremely hard worker while still possessing a high energy level and positive disposition. I have personally worked with her as both a prosecutor and defense attorney and I am a better lawyer for it."
"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."
"I have known Sylvia Cavazos for many years and highly recommend her without hesitation to anyone seeking help with a criminal law matter. I have referred many challenging criminal matters to her and have always been pleased with the results. She is a lawyer with proven trial experience and a reputation for excellence among her peers and the community. With years of experience as a felony prosecutor, and later as a criminal defense attorney, you can rest assured that she has the knowledge, experience and expertise to competently handle your case."
