Excellent counsel

Cindy represented me on my custody matter with my son. She was incredibly thorough and guided me through what as a very difficult time. Now I have the time I always wanted with my son. She is a great attorney.

My ex girlfriend she put so many false allegations on me like forcefully sex and all bad stuff so she can put me in trouble but she’s not successful in that because of Ms Cindy brown She give hard time to my ex girlfriend... on my 3rd hearing and today is trial and she didn’t show up in the court and her lawyer admit that she wanna withdraw the case.Ms Cindy Brown is a professional at her work. I am glad I found her. She was always reachable by telephone or a fast response to an email. On a professional note she helped me to relax and breathe while she did her work on this case. I would recommend her again, and again to the highest of highest.THANX TO MS CINDY ONCE AGAIN.SHE CHARGE ME SO LESS AND I WENT TO MANY LAWYERS THEY ALL ARE EXPENSIVE AND EVEN THEY DON’T WANNA LISTEN YOUR STORY UNTILL YOU PAY THEM BUT MS CINDY LISTEN MY ALL STORY AND AFTER THAT SHE GIVE ME RESOLUTION THEN AFTER SHE TELL ME HER FEES SO SHE’S THE BEAST AND THE BEST.

Hired Attorney for a very difficult case from the Supreme Court

I had found my attorney Ms Cindy Brown through prayers.My case was complicated. The senators of Queens and the media were all involved with my case and it was presented in the State Supreme court. My case was so complicated that no other lawyer would represent me, but Ms Brown was so compassiona...te and understanding that she decided to take on my case. She fought tenaciously for me.The opposition party had employed a law firm from Wall Street and they were described as Sharks in the review that I read about them, they have won all their cases.I had confidence in Ms Brown because she has character, and she is a woman of integrity as Proverb 31, she kept her promises , she kept me posted as she had continue working on my case at a minimum cost because of my financial difficulties. She was flexible with me with my appointments . She continued fighting for me until we were able to reach a settlement.

Confident, courteous, attentive and professional... God sent

Cindy Brown answered my call from day one. She listened to my concerns without haste and went over what she and her company would do for my case regarding my minor son. Her calmness and assurance in tone kept me sane during one of the worst challenges I've had to face. Cindy was very involved, c...ertain in her stance and understanding, and precise in her response. She is very thoughtful and open minded in her approach to adolescents. In addition to Cindy, there were also members of the firm who were knowledgeable of my case and concerns. That said, their collaboration and follow up is awesome. When you hire one, you truly get the entire practice. The teamwork is excellent! I highly recommend Cindy Brown and Tilem & Associates, PC where it concerns you and your loved ones. God bless them.

Well Cindy Brown is all about work and some, she was there to support me 100...% of the way and was patient with me throughout the entire process! The day I hired cindy we were able to put a case Together and vacate a income execution the same week it was put into motion! Cindy is a big shark in these waters and highly recommend her services if you need the business done in a timely manner… SHE IS THE ONE!!!
