Posted by Jim | December 23, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

I really like this lawyer.

Cindy was my lawyer as I pursued divorce through a collaborative process or mediation. I think this approach is far better than going through an angry, adversarial fight in court, which is also also a matter of public record (rather than confidential). If it is successful, an acceptable settlement... is negotiated by both spouses with the help of their collaborative lawyers, and usually at much lower legal cost and emotional expense. I found Cindy to be an excellent lawyer and a good person. I think she is very professional, knowledgeable, reliable, and smart. I would highly recommend her to anyone in the unfortunate position of needing a divorce.

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.
