Sarah Ann Cavassa

Sarah came into my beyond complicated divorce after three years of being with one attorney. My attorney retired and Sarah came highly recommended by both my attorney and people within the community. Sarah quickly and efficiently was caught up on my case within a very short period of time maki...ng it so no time lapsed as court dates were already set and approaching. With my case being extremely high conflict and involving small children Sarah committed herself to my case and I always felt as though I was her most important client. She returned calls and emails in a professional and timely manner, she remained firm but took the time to listen to and acknowledge my concerns, she was honest in her belief of what outcomes would and or could look like and she was always on point. The most important thing to me became the most important thing to Sarah. The sense of trust and security I had while with her and knowing that she had my back was irreplaceable. This was the hardest time in my life a she did everything in her power to make me understand the law while never making me feel less for needing clarification and or asking questions. I never imagined to be in a situation like I was and I can honestly say that I don’t think that she could have made it any easier, she kept me calm in all the chaos. We ended my divorce with a signed agreement that was beyond my expectations and I know I owe that to Sarah and the hard work and commitment she had to my case. I would never advise anyone that I cross paths with to use anyone other than Sarah, she is professional, smart, kind and helpful. The knowledge and personality she offers is truly invaluable.

I hired Justin O'Connell who works in the same law firm with Sarah to handle my divorce case and some business matters. It was the best experience I ever had. Justin took care the whole thing fast and efficient. I did not get to work with Sarah. However since Justin is not on AVVO so I'd like to lea...ve this review under Sarah. I have to say their law firm is really the best. I was so stressed out with the situation I was in when I found Justin O'Connell, his rate was among the high side, and not much advertisement on their law office, so I was hesitate at first. BUT after he called me in person, and he actually started taking care of my business matter without even ask me for any payment & he handled my business issues just like that. Since then I knew this is the attorney that I will hire. The staff work at this office are also very professional, considerate, and efficient. Joelle and Danny are the best assistants , every time when I email them, I also receive a same day response. Every time when I call, there's always someone there to answer my call. No matter is family law , or small business matters, Cavassa O'Connell is the way to go.

I highly recommend attorney Sarah Cavassa. Ms. Cavassa handled my contentious divorce and provided excellent counsel throughout the negotiations. Ms. Cavassa was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive to all of the issues raised during my divorce proceedings. She took the time to understa...nd what mattered most for my children and me. Based on this, she provided me with practical advice and options. She always responded to my inquires within 24 hours, minimizing the stress of dealing with weighty issues such as complicated child care issues, division of spousal assets, and the allocation of future financial obligations. Her support and communication provided me with substantial peace of mind throughout this stressful ordeal. As a strong, experienced advocate with my interest at heart, Ms. Cavassa was able to engineer a fair and reasonable resolution, avoiding the need for costly, painful litigation. I am very satisfied with the results and outcome. I am very grateful.

Background: I hired Sarah Cavassa of the Granberg Law Firm to represent me in a legal action involving my brother, the other party. My brother was unnecessarily delaying in selling a property we both owned at 50 percent each. Sarah's representation resulted in immediate action by my brother in gettin...g him to come to terms with selling the property so we can both move on with our lives. Sarah represented me for approximately 8 months from April 2009 through November 2009. The services Sarah provided were: phone conferences, draft legal documents in preparation for court (in case we had to go), other legal documentation, court filings, emails from client, emails to client, phone calls to the other party's attorney, in-person meetings, legal review of real estate documents. Comments: Before I first met Sarah I spoke to her over the phone and she asked me to provide background documentation before our first meeting, which I did. At the first meeting Sarah was thoroughly familiar with all the case details having reviewed everything beforehand. Sarah gave me an excellent legal summary of my options and her recommendations, and she apprised me of any legal exceptions which were important for me to know about. Throughout her representation of me I was extremely impressed by Sarah's thoroughness, clarity, follow-up, articulate and expert legal knowledge, as well as her professionalism. In the meeting with my brother and his attorney she handled all the interactions with deftness and intelligence. From the beginning to the completion of the case Sarah listened to all my concerns and always took action as necessary to protect my interests. The case was resolved by an out of court documented agreement between my brother and I and our attorneys, and we never had to go to court. I was extremely satisfied with the outcome of the case. Before the final legal bill was paid the house was sold in November 2009 at a satisfactory price and to the right buyer. Everything turned out perfectly in the end and Sarah's representation was key.
