Skilled Expert in Family Law

Cynthia is an excellent attorney that is well respected, personable, extremely intelligent, and has an impeccable understanding of family law. She has represented me for several years with a series of complex family law matters including a protective order, divorce, custody, and visitation. I came to... Cynthia distraught and needing representation in a very short time frame. I was previously represented by a separate established law firm but with inadequate results. Cynthia was booked out for nearly a month but both she and her staff were compassionate as I pleaded for a consult. She provided a consult within days and even though her schedule was booked she agreed to take my case with less than two weeks of my initial court date. My situation was complex and when another well respected attorney declined my case due to fears for their safety, Cynthia did not back down. Instead, she listened, gathered facts, and assessed my situation. This is one trait, of many, that I love about her. She is fierce both in and out of the court room, representing her clients armed with tenacity and case law. She is straight forward and does not fluff possible outcomes but instead diligently prepares you for what may lie ahead. Each time we have stepped in court (and there have been many) we’ve had success. The moment she stepped into the lives of my children and I, our quality of life significantly improved. We have been safe and incredibly happy and for this I am forever grateful. Because she’s represented me for so long, I can assure you she represents both her female and male clients equally advocating for their rights and their children’s well being. She’s an experienced GAL and even dedicates time to help disadvantaged persons needing family law assistance. I share this because in my opinion, this speaks multitudes about her as a person as well as her skillset which undoubtedly is formed by her ability to see cases from a wide range of aspects. There is no other attorney I would have preferred to represent me. Her paralegal, Tammy, is as diligent and has excellent communication skills and attention to detail. In sum, Cynthia Chaing is an excellent attorney that you can confidently walk alongside in a courtroom knowing she will deliver and do so both fiercely and eloquently. My advice for anyone reading this, be prepared and organized so Cynthia can focus on representing you. And if it requires saving or shifting money to pay a retainer, what else is a more important investment than your children?

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.
