I recently had the pleasure to work with Cassandra of the Gaines Law Group. Her sound advice along with good reasoning makes her an invaluable asset to my company. Her expertise in all aspects of transportation law is second to none. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a skilled and and knowledgeable attorney.

Russel Leo, President & CEO, Transportation Group, RLS Logistics

As an attorney who now runs a freight brokerage, I’m very picky about who I select to do our legal work. An attorney who has excellent technical skills but isn’t proactive and strategic isn’t enough. Cassandra has the ability to combine thoughtful strategy with amazing technical skill. She’s a valuable addition to any freight broker looking for outside counsel.

Casey Adams, President at Visible Supply Chain Management (VSCM)

I had the great fortune of working with Cassandra during her tenure with Schneider. She had a great influence and impact in several areas including but not limited to carrier/customer contracting, fraud protection, carrier strategy, claims management, etc. Cassandra excelled in helping not only protect the business but finding ways to ensure our strong compliance and fraud protection could be commercialized to help accelerate our commercial efforts. Cassandra is a rock star in the logistics and transportation world!

Cassandra is not only а remarkable and very talented lawyer, but also a proven business owner, who has successfully adopted the philosophy that the client needs are above everything else. I strongly recommend Cassandra as she really cares about her clients and approaches everyone she meets in a very warm and friendly manner. Energetic Doer with charming personality, Cassandra keeps a clear head and the overview even in difficult situations - True problem solver. Her ability of being able to absorb and process information is phenomenal. Cassandra has not only a strong knowledge in legal formalities and significant experience in the transportation industry, but also a detailed understanding in the underlying transactions. What impresses me the most is that no matter how challenging the case is, she always has the ability to immediately spot the real issue in it, which makes all the difference in the world as it changes your perception of how to approach the problem.

Mike Mihaylov, Founder, Ship Cars USA

Cassandra's arrival at Echo was transformational. Her decisive leadership and deep freight and legal expertise almost immediately removed a bottleneck from the nexus of more than fifteen diverse sales divisions, this while navigating what was at the time a Gordian knot of hierarchical and bureaucratic chaos. I personally came to rely on Cassandra for her dexterous and often blindingly fast decisiveness and ability to triage multifaceted and frequently partially obscured situations. She is an absolute delight to work with, I sincerely hope I have the opportunity to do so again, and I always know the advantage lies in my favor when Cassandra is in my corner.

I attended the TIA conference for the first time this year. Cassandra was the lead presenter on a seminar involving contracts. I would have to say it was one of my favorite seminars that I attended while there. I learned some trends in the industry as well as gained additional knowledge to assist me in my role today regarding contracts. Cassandra’s energy and passion for sharing her knowledge and overall finding ways to move the transportation industry forward was refreshing and I look forward to attending her seminars in the future and / or talking with her again soon.
