Top tier family law divorce attorney

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional legal representation I received from Stephen Cawelti and Yolanda Holland. Going through a divorce is never easy, but their professionalism, compassion, and legal expertise truly made a difficult time much more manageable. Stephen is an outstanding... attorney who specializes in family law and has many years of experience. Stephen thoroughly explained every step of the process, ensuring that I felt confident and informed throughout the process. Yolanda provided additional support and strategic guidance that made me feel I was in the best possible hands. A special mention goes to their legal secretary, Sabrina, who was always prompt, professional, and incredibly organized. She kept me updated on all important developments and was always available to answer any questions I had. Her calm and efficient demeanor brought much-needed peace of mind during an otherwise stressful situation. Together, this team is an absolute powerhouse. If you are looking for a divorce attorney who genuinely cares about your case and delivers excellent results, I highly recommend Stephen Cawelti, Yolanda Holland, and their dedicated staff!

Former Client

Absolutely awful. Do no hire under any circumstances. Staff tries to cover for him. He will ignore your calls. Will make promises and not follow through...won't even show up for court....but his bills always come through every month. Avoid at all costs.

If this is true then I’m sure the State Bar would love to hear from you. Otherwise, this slander comes across as something an opposing party might say since you are not using your actual name.

I’m so grateful to Stephen Cawelti and his staff for helping me get full custody of my son!

His patience and expertise really paid off - I couldn’t ask for anything more! He listened to my concerns and opinions and really took them into account. He was able to negotiate everything I wanted and took the time to find the right solution that would maximize the end result. I’m so grateful to St...ephen Cawelti and his staff for helping me get full custody of my son!

So grateful I found Stephen!!

Words cannot describe how grateful I am for Stephen. I called him during a very stressful time in my life and he was calm, understanding and really listened to me. During the process he and his team were very quick to get back to me, coming up with different avenues when one didn't workout. I always ...felt like they had my best interest at heart and really cared about my case. During the process in court Stephen was ASTOUNDING. He helped me understand what was going on, gave me helpful feedback and was making sure I was doing ok as one day in court turned into three. I felt safe on the stand knowing he was in court with me. He even made time in between days to call me on the phone and prepare me for the following day going through even small details so I would be prepared for anything. Hearing him give the closing argument for me gave both me and my friend (who was by my side) chills. He really is meant to be a for this line of work. His strong voice, protective personality and quick wit make him the best kind of lawyer. He has a real presence in the court room. After Stephen had won my case, I called my family and friends and just went on and on about how blessed I felt that God had put Stephen in my path to help me through a difficult time. Don't even waste time looking around. Stephen is worth every penny. He's your guy! I hope I wont even need a lawyer again but if I do, I know who I'll be calling. Thank you Stephen!! I am forever grateful for you!

Excellent Attorney

I have worked with Stephen at several junctures when dealing with an ex and child support issues. Stephen has been phenomenally patient at explaining my legal options to me at every stage while also being 100% respectful of my decisions about how to proceed, even when it meant he would make less mon...ey. I strongly recommend him.
