    "The best there is in the Biz"
    Jack has been a lawyer for a long time. He values his clients and sees them as people with individual circumstances, and not just dollar bills like other attorneys. Anyone that knows anything about the law knows it’s about making and keeping good rapport with all parties involved. And for a defense attorney, being familiar with the judge to the prosecutor and being on a friendly basis with them is exceptionally important. And Jack knows everyone! He should as he’s been doing this for probably over 40 years. He’s not only a great attorney but I consider him a friend. Don’t make the mistake of choosing an unknown rookie attorney who may be a couple bucks cheaper. Choose Jack!

    "Two things define you. Your patience when you have nothing, and your attitude when you have everything."
    My experience with Mr. Cavanagh was very pleasant. I was kept informed about what was going on with my case. Phone calls were returned promptly and everything was explained to me. Knowledgeable, personable and fair - can't ask for much more than that. He was on my side. One more thing.... he's not a pushover when it comes to the opponent! Love it!

    "I would recommend Mr. Cavanagh as well as use him again in the future."
    Mr. Cavanagh was very patient in dealing with all of the difficulties of my case. He was pleasant to work with to get the child support and custody worked out in a way that was fair. He showed real concern for the welfare of my son. He was professional in guiding me with regards to counseling and getting my sons voice heard throughout the case as well. Lastly he was thorough in that he went through the original divorce decree and made sure I received what I should have gotten during the divorce. I would recommend Mr. Cavanagh as well as use him again in the future.
