Jerry is an outstanding attorney that knows family law inside and out. I had a very difficult divorce and child custody case that started out with only 25% custody of my son. He had all of the key contacts for every issue that arose which enabled us to efficiently navigate the process. Through Jerry's guidance and perseverance I was able to save my 401k, home, and most importantly I have over 50% parenting time with my son! If you want results, call Jerry!
I was fortunate to have found Jerry Cavellier to represent me when I went through my divorce. He did an outstanding job representing me and advocating for my interests (both custodial and financial). He took the time to understand my case and the issues at hand. He was always very responsive to all of my inquiries. In addition to his legal expertise and negotiating skill, Jerry provided some needed compassion and perspective during that difficult anxious laden time. I would recommend Jerry to anyone going through a divorce and looking for a highly skilled and loyal advocate.
Gerald (Jerry) helped me through a tough time while I was going through my divorce. He was always available, respectful of my wishes and above all empathetic to everything I was going through and dealing with, which was plenty. I've heard from others going through similar situations as me that their lawyers would forget about them in the process and leave them hanging for days at a time without contact. Never happened with Jerry. He always kept me well informed of the process, what came next and never, never left me wondering. I can't speak highly enough about him.
Gerald, is an excellent attorney, he has been able to advise me on any and all issues dealing with my divorce and custody case. I would highly recommend him to anyone. I only feel comfortable with Gerald representing me in court. He is honest, professional and trust worthy.
Very Knowledgeable in a wide range of areas. Compassionate and understanding to clients situation. Works quickly and diligently to achieve his clients best outcome. I am very satisfied with Mr. Cavellier's work and services he preformed for me. I have used Mr. Cavellier on more than one occasion. I highly recommend Mr. Cavellier.
Interviewing and choosing a law firm/attorney is a difficult process and none more so than when choosing the right "family law" attorney. For me, this meant finding someone with whom I could entrust not only a difficult case, but more importantly a difficult defendant, the mother of my child. As unmarried parents, I was denied by the defendant/mother right as legal father to my son and although she would claim otherwise, the demand for legal counsel was unavoidable. Jerry Cavellier has proven on every occasion to be that right choice. Where the defendant/mother is now with her 4th attorney, Jerry has remained focused for me since this began almost 2 years ago. To further illustrate her difficult behavior since the beginning, this particular defendant made reference to Jerry in a previous review, inferring that he (in some way) represented her. In short, Jerry is and remains her opposing counsel and has never represented her. Of course she would write a poor review, because Jerry has preformed professionally and exceptionally well for his client, me (the plaintiff) and that of my son. It goes without saying, with her inability to co-parent and more importantly, her refusal to adhere to the parenting order of the Oakland Co. court, in MI., of course she would be unhappy with my attorney who has advocated very well for me and my child. The defendant is clearly looking to mar Jerry's outstanding reputation by lying. The record shows that she has been the defendant in this case with no less that 6 show cause motions. In closing, if anyone is the cause for racking up the attorney fees in this case, it would be she, the defendant/mother.
Jerry did a great job assisting me and giving me the professional advise I needed. We had very similar approaches to my divorce which worked out very well.
