Cindy is Fair and Efficient
When I contacted Cindy, I knew I had made the right choice. Cindy not only has a quick response time, but seeks a fair resolution for all parties involved. She is efficient, yet understanding and compassionate regarding the emotions and situations of the parties involved. In my case, there was no downtime or endless waiting, but once a decision was made, a quick turn-around in closing the case with a satisfactory agreement.

Excellent attorney
Cindy was an excellent attorney during my divorce. She helped me immensely to navigate a very difficult time with compassion, a great depth of knowledge, and efficiency. Cindy was always very responsive to all of my questions and kept me informed throughout the entire divorce process. Cindy is honest and trustworthy, and I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who should need an attorney.

Cindy is amazing. She is my "go to" for any situation. If she doesn't handle it, she knows someone who does so I am always in good hands.

Everything you want. Caring, listens, and sensitive. If your being treated unfairly she will put together an A team and conquer! Be warned - She's fair. She will fight, she will win, but will only go for whats fair. She's my secret weapon.

The right paperwork, everyone needs.
Cindy pointed out and I knew she was right that I needed my POA, DNR and Advance Directive. But who wants t think about these things? Cindy made the process easier and I am so grateful that they are done! I didn't realize how much they had been weighing on me to get them signed, but now it is done, thank you, Attorney Cartier.

Knowledgeable and Caring Attorney
Cindy Cartier is extremely talented, hard-working and caring attorney. Her approach is consultative. In many cases, she attempts to mediate the best possible resolution for all parties involved. In those cases that she represents one individual I sincerely feel empathy for the opposing attorney due to Cindy's level of competence and tenacity. I am a financial planner and feel extremely confident referring clients to Cindy and her firm.

SEASONED ELDER LAWYER
Attorney Cartier handled the medicaid application for my mother, her estate planning issues and ultimately the probate post her death. She was extremely competent and compassionate. My whole family appreciated the care she showed to my mother and we were grateful to have her in those final days. I would recommend her wholeheartedly and without reservation.

Attorney Cynthia Cartier works tirelessly to win her clients cases
Cynthia Cartier merges three " E " components as an attorney. These components are Expertise, Excellence and Empathy. Ms. Cartier has represented my interests with a high degree of integrity and professionalism. She returns all corresspondance and calls in a timely manner. She has an innate ability to gather informational details, process this information and frame the larger picture seamlessly to put together the best defense for the case. I would suggest without hesitation that she is an excellent choice in representing you and your needs. It was a pleasure to work with Attorney Cynthia Cartier and I could not be more pleased with the results.

Great Lawyer to Work With
I hired Attorney Cartier to assist with collection on a business account that was severely overdue and the arrears were in the tens of thousands of dollars. Within three days, I had the check in my hand! I would not hesitate to recommend her as she is not only savvy but a pleasure to work with as well.
