Testimonials

  • As an attorney in family law, I know that finding an expert witness for difficult cases is challenging. Working with Ms. Cavuto was very easy. She was always reliable, always prepared, and has excellent written and oral communication skills. I was impressed with her ability to clearly articulate sensitive concepts in a concise and persuasive manner. She absolutely was of benefit to my client, and I would not hesitate to use her in the future.

  • Kristin was the expert witness in my custody trial. She provided well researched written statements, and was always available to meet with my lawyer and I, even on short notice. She used her expertise in infant attachment to help me settle my case in my favor. I am very happy that we hired her!

  • My wife and I were being harassed by our conservative pediatrician because we were a two mom family. I hired Kristin to advocate for us. She provided a well written statement that was professional, easy to understand, and well researched. I felt supported throughout the process of working with her, and, most importantly, it worked! The doctor stopped threatening us when he realized that we knew both our rights and the facts about LGBT parenting. I would absolutely recommend Kristin to anyone needing an advocate.
