"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Cynthia Lifson for many years and have been a member of several professional organizations to which we both belong. She is a leader and a tireless contributor to those organizations. I have had cases where she was the attorney on the other side where she was always professional, well organized and informed about her client's goals and advocated for those goals. She appreciates the fact that the Court system is not always the best way to resolve a dispute. As a trained and experienced mediator, she is capable of acting as a neutral and assisting in resolving conflict in a respectful way. Her experience as a lawyer and her ability to understand the law is outstanding. She would be a good choice to handle your legal matter."
