Reviews

Mr. Cavanaugh is an incredibly nice & thoughtful attorney that helped me get my estate planning in order. What I particularly liked is that he, in a way that I could easily understand, talked me through each of the documents, explained the purpose of each, answered all of my questions and detailed the considerations I should think about as I make my decisions on various aspects. That was a huge help as it enabled me to make informed decisions about these very important matters. He’s the best attorney that I’ve worked with over the years, and I highly recommend him!
I selected Stephen Cavanaugh because of the positive Google reviews and I was very happy with our initial discussion. He seemed very helpful. But, on my second call with him, I asked a few questions about whether it was feasible to draft our wills with a few placeholders (name of executor and gift dollar amounts). He said NO, that he could not draft a will with some placeholders. I said OK, that's fine.... I can live with that, but I asked a few questions about WHY no placeholders since I would have to review the legal text anyway before I sign it. But he said NO, that's not how it is done (but no specifics on why). I said OK, we can do it his official way and that I was just asking questions in order to understand the process. Then he essentially hung up the phone on me (to get to a meeting) while telling me to go find another lawyer, even though I repeatedly said that I am OK doing it his way and I am just asking questions. I think he took my questions as an insult to his profession. A lawyer that is so sensitive to basic process questions from clients is not very helpful.
Excellent family attorney for wills, trusts, etc. without putting too much of my personal business put there, I can tell you that Stephen is informative, patient and efficient. Also he charges a fair price and doesnt look at his customers as a quick buck. He understands this is pretty emotional for people and is really very understanding for an attorney.
The very best lawyer ever! I lost my son tragically and he was so kind and took care of his Probate immediately and made this horrible journey much easier for me with compassion and respect! I highly recommend him!
My experience with Steve was nothing short of excellent. He took his time & explained everything so clearly to us. I highly recommend him!
