Mario Cava, "An Excellent Attorney" doesn't do him Justice- He Rocks! The Best Defense Attorney I have ever Met!

As I stated in the Title of this review...Mari Cava, "An Excellent Attorney" doesnt do him Justice- He Rocks! The Best Defense Attorney I have ever Met!, If Only there were more attorneys who took as much time with his clients, and I know it wasnt just me, he had a very full plate , and had many cli...ents as it seems the system is overwhelmed with people who need a Public Defenser . And I am sure there are those who use the cities tax dollars of hard working people of King County to pay for some people who are so ungreatful, If they actually had to pay for a law firm attorney and be billed $500/hr. Some abuse the system and try to get away with it because they are being supported by the tax payers dollars.Anyways Mario is extremely honest and genuine and down to earth and I think who every is lucky enough to have him as their attorney should feel very greatful as they are in the best legal hands you will find,, I highly recommend Mario, He makes sure all his clients get a fair shake.

Super Mario

It is difficult to find words to describe Mario Cava. I cannot say enough about how fantastic he is. "Brilliant" would be the first description that comes to mind. I could not have hoped for a better defense attorney. With his help, I was able to finally hear two wonderful words. "Not Guilty". The ...whole way I felt that Mario was truely defending me. He looked after my best interests. Mario Cava is simply outstanding. He handled my case with great care and attention and made me feel very confortable while keeping me thinking realistically, throughout the whole trial process. He informed me of what would happen throughout the trial step by step, paying attention to every detail. With all the other cases that he has to deal with on a daily basis, he kept on TOP of everything. I was extremely impressed and grateful to have such competent representation. How he handled and presented himself and my position in the courtroom seemed nothing short of masterful. The way I could see him taking down so many notes and covering all the important and relevant points while omitting others was the work of true expert. A skilled legal stategist and tactician with a realistic professional attitude, who is very ethical, personable and extremely likable, who will defend your position with powerful and persuasive passion. This is Mario Cava, my attorney, who I was so proud and fortunate to have had represent me. "Super Mario", Thank you.

Client Review

Mario is a very trustworthy and professional lawyer. He is very thorough and seems to take pride in the work he does. He made the process of being in a trial setting as comfortable and seemless as a situation like that could be. I would definately recommend Mario to anyone in need of a very good lawy...er.

Mario Cava is a dedicated, educated, committed, professional Lawyer

I have had multiple opportunities to be represented by Mr. Mario Cava. Of course, none of us want to be there. But more importantly, when we get there, none us want to be left "hanging". This I can tell you never, ever happened to me working with Mr. Mario Cava. I had the luxury of going to trial wit...h Mr. Mario Cava as my defense attorney working for the county as a court appointed lawyer. I felt, at many times, there was limited hope for me to avoid charges that may be detrimental to my future. He could always tell when certain things would get to me. His savvy and confidence allowed him to re instill in me the faith that I needed to to wake up every day and move forward. Those moments allowed me to believe that Mr. Mario Cava would give all of his efforts if we went to trial. Well, needless to say, that same savvy and confidence provided the jury with enough doubt to find me not guilty, which I was! I hold him to high standards knowing that if, as a client, you put in the same effort and passion that Mr. Mario Cava can provide, you will never be disappointed. Thank you for the opportunity to praise, not only a wonderful person, but an unbelievable lawyer. Non partial critic!!!!
