Posted by anonymous | May 1, 2024 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Be Aware of this attorney

This lawyer failed to communicate appropriately when she represented me. She didnt like when I expressed dissatisfaction and chose to ignore my concerns. Cindy only wants to hear positive feedback and avoids anything negative and refuses to hold herself accountable. Cindy failed to share importan...t legal documents with me during her representation. Withholding the documents caused a hardship for me. Cindy has no recent reviews from clients to confirm she is a trustworthy attorney. She allowed her paralegal to handle alot of her communication and when something went wrong, Cindy would not take accountability. Be careful with this attorney. She lacks integrity.

Outstanding lawer! Highly Recommended!

Attorney Villanella is working my divorce, custody, and support case. She is extremely knowledgeable of the law and provides, in my experience, very accurate predictions of what to expect. Very friendly and views the case in a personal manner. I have never felt that I am "just a client." Her coun...sel is very affordable and well worth the cost. If you are looking for divorce, custody, or support I highly recommend hiring Attorney Villanella to represent your case. I am a father who is fighting for visitation and she is very informative of what to expect and provided excellent advise on what to ask for.

Divorce

I used Cindy for my recent divorce. She explained exactly what would be happening when and if I ever had any additional questions she was happy to answer them. Although I was not the one who wanted to get divorced, Cindy and the staff at her office helped me through everything with ease.

Mom's Estate

My brother and I hired Cindy to take care of my mother's estate. SHe was easy to work with and handled everything smoothly.

Wonderful and compassionate!

Cindy helped me with my divorce and custody issues. She listened to everything I had to say and was honest about what she believed my chances were in getting what I wanted. Very honest and knows what she is talking about! Her paralegal, Linda, was also wonderful whenever I needed to call their off...ice.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
