"I can't thank Angela Cavanaugh enough for the incredible job she did in my case. She was professional, honest, and confident—qualities that immediately gave me peace of mind during a very stressful time. Throughout the process, Attorney Cavanaugh kept me informed, answered all my questions promptly, and helped build a strong defense that ultimately led to a not guilty verdict. Her courtroom presence was impressive—fierce, focused, and persuasive. It was clear that she was well-prepared and deeply knowledgeable about the law and how to present my case effectively. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, my future is back on track. I highly recommend Angela Cavanaugh to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate defense attorney. Bill M."

"This review is for Maureen Carroll. She represented me in a child support modification case. Being a father that wasn't knowledgeable about the laws of child support some 14yrs after it began, I was relieved to find Maureen. She was incredibly knowledgeable and professional through this whole process. She resolved this case quickly and waisted no time with the Court. She was very honest and upfront with any information and recommendations. Highly recommended! Thank you again Maureen!"

"worked on an ongoing case with Widad Bakkal for over a year straight (from start to finish). My encounters were friendly, professional, and she was attentive every time. Have always recommended her, and will continue to do so."
