Reviews

Needed some simple advice to review an out of state order and have it moved to Connecticut. Victor took my money (twice), asked me to send him a document to review and act upon, but he (and his assistant) then failed to respond to several phone calls and emails when I tried to follow up. Victor seems to know his stuff, but is clearly not interested in the small stuff. (who is, I guess?) Many months later and I am no further ahead...trying to work it out on my own...

I used Vic for a custody battle in new haven and was over charged and had less them stellar results in the end I was even sued by Vic and had a lean put on my house by him this is not an attack just facts even the attorney that was hired as a Guardian at Leitem for my child was in agreement that his fees were way over priced needless to say in the end I did get my child back on my own after releasing Vic but still got sued by him and had a lean put on my house to insure that he got paid what he did not deserve

Victor knows his way around the law books. From a Non-Attorney perspective things seem to happen the long way around with a lot of extra hearings and aggravation that literally have no point. Victor is a very capable and knowledgeable Attorney fighting an up hill battle for most of us, yet I can not help feeling slighted and semi ripped off in the process. He is very busy, this however is no excuse for lack of preparation for a hearing... preparation that I have PAID for... a Hearing that I am PAYING for. Bottom line is, he has the knowledge, he has the skill, yet when confronted with these concerns will bail on you. The Potential is there Victor. You could Shine like no other. Not one person in that Court House has more knowledge of the law than you. Slow down, use it like we all know you can.

Atty. Cavallo was able to direct a difficult divorce. Patient listener when needed but agressive when representing me and my future! Was available to answer "what if" questions and had the knowlege and experience to back up his advice. Happy to have had Atty. Cavallo to represent me through process. It wasn't finished with the decree--he has been available for follow up advice needed for smooth transition.

Mr. Cavallo is the second matrimonial attorney I have engaged. My divorce was complicated and included my ex- wife's desire to move to California and take our children with her. My first counsel allowed me to fight a losing case until I had depleted my funds and had to settle - losing each point of the case. I wish counsel would have advised me to cut my losses and settle from the beginning. My child support payments were set at a level at which I could not succeed in paying all of the money. I just didn't earn enough. My ex- wife sued me from California in the Bridgeport Superior Court - accusing me of being a year behind in payments. I answered the suit pro se. When I understood the seriousness of the suit and the potential penalties which included incarceration, I knew I needed counsel. I found Attorney Cavallo through one of his advertisements. His ad stayed that he was a "father's rights" attorney. I met with him and shared my story. I was truly concerned about what could possibly happen in court. He reviewed my file and assured me that he could fix the errors committed in the first adjudication of my divorce. Mr. Cavallo was able to re-open my original judgement and show that, based on my income, not only was I NOT behind in my payments but in fact had overpaid! He was able to have my entire payment history reviewed and reset at the proper level. Also, he arranged for me to stop paying her directly and pay her through the State. I was never late or behind again and successfully supported my children until they reached adulthood. The process took about a year in total. Attorney Cavallo and his staff kept me completely informed every step of the way and led me to a successful resolution of my case. A side benefit of his work on my behalf was that my children's mother and I were able to develop a cordial relationship once these issues were settled. My children directly benefited from this. In fact, after my last payment was made, my ex- wife thanked me for never being late with child support! I can neither thank Attorney Cavallo nor recommend him highly enough for all he has done on my behalf. Working with him was a great experience of rectifying a bad situation. His Professionalism, punctuality and performance were above and beyond anything for which I could have hoped. Thank you Mr. Cavallo!!
