Compassionate And Knowledgeable

I retained Mrs. Cumbo for a custody matter involving my ex and our 2 children. The case was a bit complicated because it involved not only the courts here in buffalo, but also the courts in Brooklyn NY. Mrs. Cumbo kept in contact with me and always kept me updated on procedures and how proceedings wo...uld commence. What makes her a very unique attorney is her litigation style, some attorneys are what is termed "barracuda" attorneys, and they will do their best to viciously attack the other party, however Mrs. Cumbo is not this style of attorney. She considers both parties in the case, and is willing to work towards a compromise which serves as an asset as this tends to be viewed favorably in the family court system. I am very glad I retained her services and as a result of her diligence, I was awarded sole residential custody of the children. Furthermore, as I held no animosity towards my ex, I was very pleased with how she handled the trial. I would definitely recommend Mrs. Cumbo for anyone facing a family court related matter.

Custody/Visitation

Megan handled my custody/visitation case. She was very kind, compassionate and professional. She is very knowledgeable with the law and court system. Megan explained every option available to me clearly and advised in a way that shows that she genuinely seems to care not only about me (her client) bu...t my child. Megan is also the type that will fight for you and seems very well respected not only by the people in the firm she works but other attorneys and court officials that she has worked around/with. She responded to any question I may have had in a very timely manner and made time regardless of how busy she may have been. I would recommend Megan to anyone who has to deal with the family court system for any reason.

Divorce / Custody / Post Nup Issues

Megan was an excellent attorney with a unique combination of compassion, knowledge of the law, strategy, and detail orientation. She has small stature and can be somewhat quiet vocally, but do not let either or those fool you. She is the one you want to represent you whether are taking a difficult... case or one with ease. I found her professional, calm manner very relaxing in such a trying experience of my life. I found choosing an attorney to be one of the most difficult choices in life as it is possible the lawyer could be representing my kids and I in family court, as well as deciding our financial future. As a mother herself, Megan seems able to put herself in your shoes and fight as hard as possible for the best outcome. Though she is also able to work well with the court system and opposing counsel. Megan used my time wisely, always discussing the advantages and disadvantages of every decision. The products / documents she provided were spot on - no need to completely rework or be concerned about typos and spelling errors. Megan provided the exact outcome I expected for my case in a limited period of time. If I have other family law matters, she would certainly be my counsel and I strongly recommend you retain her as well.
