Sarah Ann Cavassa

If you are considering divorce, in the midst of a divorce, or post-divorce with questions about pursuing new issues, I highly recommend hiring Sarah Cavassa. I began working with Sarah in 2012, when she was an associate at a law firm in Salinas. Even then, with just a handful of years of experienc...e in family law, she was quickly impressive. I recall in our first meeting her warmth, focus and attention, organization, knowledge, and drive to see the whole picture and understand my goals so she could prepare to help me meet them. I knew before leaving the office that morning that Sarah was the attorney I wanted to hire, and I felt confident that I would be in excellent hands. My divorce was wrapped up within one year and, through Sarah’s wisdom, sensitivity, skill, and creative problem-solving, she helped craft a marital settlement agreement, support payments, and custody arrangements that were beyond my greatest wish. Since then, I have consulted with her multiple times about support modifications and other areas of concern for my kids and, this month, we gained another win without the time and expense of going to court. Sarah is a smart, sensible, highly conscientious professional with integrity who is dedicated to serving her clients the best possible outcomes. She also has the know-how and abilities to achieve them—most notably through her deep understanding of family law, keen analytical thinking, polished negotiation skills, and the solid working relationships she has built through time and trust with other attorneys in the area. Another benefit to working with Sarah is that she will present you with options and explore as much or as little as you want while keeping in mind your financial limitations. Sarah’s expertise gave me peace of mind while her kind and genuine heart helped me feel seen and cared for. Her sense of humor was a welcome bonus that provided a refreshing break from navigating the heavy challenges. Time and again, Sarah exceeded my hopes and expectations. I highly recommend her without reservation.

Sarah navigated my lengthy dissolution with strategic precision. She was wise to every overwhelming detail and gave rational options and explanations to keep my emotions in check and keep things moving. In handling some unique circumstances of my case, she was flexible in finding the right solution f...or both sides knowing that would pave the way to an agreement more expeditiously. I appreciate her guidance and expertise and am especially grateful for her keen sense of people. She is a brilliant lawyer.

Sara Cavassa is the best Family Law lawyer in Monterey county, in my opinion. Her advice is rock solid. She lets you make the choices but lays out the options. She follows the law and the facts and does not engage in hyperbole. She is respectful and has a bit of a sense of humor. Divorce is not ...fun, but Sarah can get you through it with compassion and grace. I would highly recommend her for your Family Law needs.

The initial consultation was a relaxed environment, she listened to all the details I felt necessary to describe my situation. Sarah was concise and very detailed in her collection of information. Throughout the entire process, Sarah was efficient and thorough. Her communication and follow-thru n...ever varied, she was consistent and always did what she said she would do.

Sarah Cavassa is a class act and a power house in the legal arena. If you are looking for an attorney that will have your back in all situations, you have made the right choice with Sarah.

I cannot say enough about Sarah's knowledge, skill, strategy and command in court. Mine was a four + year ordeal which, at times, felt hopeless. But, in the end, I am very fortunate and happy with my results. That's right, in an arena where no one comes away a winner, I did! That's because I chos...e the right attorney.
