Testimonials

Attorney Eva Cantarella will never know to what extent she has helped so many families. Her tireless efforts on our behalf are appreciated from the bottom of my heart. Although emotions and uncertainty was understandably high, she knew this and kept us all informed the best you could. I for one became excited and relieved whenever I would see "Eva Cantarella" in my inbox. She truly is a remarkable person and a great lawyer. But more than that, she was always willing to listen and explain things in layman's terms for those of us law jargon challenged. I just want to thank you for all you have done and for all you have yet to do. 
Bill Batkins (aka Merle Batkins)
Couldn't be happier with the results of all attorney Eva Cantarella's hard work and expertise, it brings some hope in these tense times.
