Cynthia Theresa Runge

I retained Cindy Runge to review and finalize a separation agreement that was prepared by a mediator. Cindy is a thorough, competent attorney with a keen eye for detail. She provided valuable advice and provided clear, honest direction. She always had my best interests in mind and respected my opi...nions as to desired course of action. Cindy responds promptly and readily communicates via phone or email including evenings/weekends. Highly recommend!

Cindy was referred to my now ex-wife and we hired her to mediate our divorce. She's very easy to work with; maintains strict professionalism at all times. I would describe her style as properly detached empathy. She's very knowledgeable and experienced and helped us work through all the diffic...ult issues peculiar to most of not all of these situations. She seems quite busy (a good sign!) but makes time even on weekends when necessary to keep things moving forward. She's very thorough and my only quibble with the process is that there may have been a little too much attention to detail which may not have been necessary in some cases and which led to more hours and more billing. However let me quickly point out that this was not an effort to "pad the bill" on Cindy's part. I just think that she wants to cover every conceivable base in an organized way which ultimately is not a bad thing. The original ballpark estimate was in the $5-6,000 range. We ended up spending double that not including over $3,000 in fees which Cindy ended up not billing us for at the end of the process. (which was a nice gesture on her part). The bottom line is she wrote a very thorough and comprehensive agreement that even the judge commented on as being well-written. We sailed through the hearing with no problem and were granted a divorce. I highly recommend Cindy. She did an excellent job for us.

I receive SSDI and as a result, I was unable to pay for a lawyer to represent me in my divorce. So I contacted the The Boston Volunteer Lawyers Project (VLP). They assigned Ms. Cynthia Runge to represent me PRO-BONO!! I could never have afforded Ms. Runge on my income... Ms. Runge was wonderful!!! ... The first day I met with her regarding my divorce, she immediately started working on my divorce. We went over to file the paperwork in court to get my divorce in motion!!! Every step of the way, Ms. Runge explained the legal matter/proceedings to me thoroughly so I was able to understand the entire process. Ms. Runge is extremely knowledgeable about the laws/regulations for divorces. Ms. Runge made sure I received everything I was entitled to in the divorce decree from alimony, half of my ex-spouse's 401k, continued health coverage from my ex-spouse's employment and maintaining me as the beneficiary of my ex-spouse's life insurance policy. Ms. Runge worked extremely hard to make sure legal documents were filed in a timely and efficient manner. I was very impressed with her dedication to represent me PRO-BONO!! She treated me like I was a rich paying customer!! She never made me feel like I should be appreciative that she agreed to represent me.. She was always respectful and professional to me. Wow!!! Ms. Runge is an incredible and knowledgeable attorney. I am forever grateful and thankful to her for everything she has done for me. I can not thank her enough. A divorce is an emotional and devastating ordeal but Ms. Runge was very understanding of my feelings/emotions throughout the entire process. She always had time to answer my calls and questions. She made me feel very comfortable to ask her any question. I always felt like a valuable client. Ms. Runge worked many hours making sure that everything went smoothly in divorce proceedings. She knows the law so well, she made sure I was protected legally in the divorce decree so that later on down the line I would not have any legal problems. She made sure the legal ease/terms were stipulated in my decree. I can not thank the Volunteer Lawyers Project of Boston enough for accepting my case and assigning me a wonderful and knowledgeable attorney!!! Ms. Runge surpassed my expectations!! I could not have been more pleased with how she handledy case from the beginning to The end!!! Thank you so much Boston VLP!! A super extra thank you goes to Ms. Runge for all of your tireless efforts and hours to represent me in court!! Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!!!
