My focus is on family law, collaborative law, divorce mediation, and care and protection matters. I believe that family law is the most important and rewarding area of law in which a lawyer can practice. It is also an area of law in which clients need experienced, skilled, and compassionate representation to help them navigate the process.
I have practiced law for over 24 years and I am admitted to the bar in both Massachusetts and New York. In addition to family law, my background includes experience in landlord/tenant, real estate and intellectual property matters (focus on artists, museums and non-profits). In 2001, I was formally trained as a mediator.
I am on the Board of Directors of the Massachusetts Council for Family Mediation, a member of the Massachusetts Collaborative Law Council, the Massachusetts Bar Association, the Massachusetts Guardianship Association, the Massachusetts Juvenile Bar Association and the New England Association for Conflict Resolution. I graduated from Whittier College School of Law (J.D.) and Boston University (B.S.).
I help my clients transition through divorce with confidence.

Cindy will make you feel like you are her only client!
I hired Cindy to help with drafting a separation agreement for my divorce. She was referred to me from another attorney that I worked with. She was highly recommended by Attorney Chris Saccardi ( housing attorney). He was spot on with his recommendation! She is spectacular! Whatever time I emailed o...

Great collaborative divorce lawyer
Cindy is empathetic and informed. I credit her with helping me navigate the divorce smoothly. We had a collaborative divorce which requires meetings that include a coach, an attorney for each party, me and my former wife. Cindy helped those five way meetings stay on target & I’m happy with the ou...

Cynthia Runge
Cindy and team did a great job of getting me through the scary, emotional and extremally stressful process of divorce.

Cynthia was very helpful, she made sure that I understood my options and ensured that I was satisfied and comfortable with the final agreement. She made sure my voice and opinions were heard throughout the whole process. I would absolutely recommend her.

Excellent lawyer!
I can't recommend Cynthia enough. I came to her with a very high conflict divorce case. I was extremely nervous and scared of how the process would go. Cynthia worked with me step-by-step throughout the entire case, always responding to my emails, texts and calls. Cynthia is incredibly organized...
"I highly endorse this lawyer. Attorney Runge is a dedicated, extremely dedicated advocate. She is compassionate and works hard to achieve the best result for her client. In the 10 years or so that I have known Attorney Runge, I have been impressed by her professionalism and her skill as a lawyer. Clients who I referred to her who were satisfied by her representation."
"Cynthia Runge has all of the qualities a client wants and needs in a family law attorney. She's caring, strategic, hard-working, knowledgeable, thorough, and a good communicator. And also, a "lawyer's lawyer.""
"Because Cindy and I have co-mediated together, I have had a chance to observe first-hand her ability to guide clients through both difficult financial topics and challenging emotional exchanges. She has all the hallmarks of a skilled and experienced mediator, and I endorse her wholeheartedly."
"I'm happy to recommend Cynthia as a first rate, experienced mediator. I first met her when she mediated cases in which I represented clients. Subsequently I co-mediated cases with her. Cynthia skillfully helps the parties identify the key issues in their dispute and assists them in generating options for resolving them. Using her intelligence, experience and compassion for people trying to resolve difficult issues, she creates an atmosphere in which dispute resolution is possible."
"Cindy Runge is a very experienced and effective mediator. She is patient, persistent and smart, and on top of that knows the law. In a couple of particularly raw, high conflict situations that she and I have co-mediated, she has been terrific at keeping the room calm enough that the parties could move past their sticking points. I highly recommend her."
