also known as Law Office of Cynthia A. Mills, LLP
My focus is on family law matters. I have over 25 years of experience handling family law issues of every kind, complexity and nature. I am a zealous litigator when it becomes necessary. I take pride in being able to fight fiercely for my clients while providing them highly competent, compassionate representation.
My areas of practice include Child Custody, Financial Support, Equitable Distribution, Separation and Divorce, Alienation of Affection, Adoption and Termination of Parental Rights.
During my 25 years as a family law attorney, I have represented clients in cases ranging from multimillion dollar asset distribution to hotly contested custody matters. I enjoy having a reputation as one of the most aggressive and effective family law attorneys in Eastern North Carolina.
I have represented numerous clients in third party claims known as Alienation of Affection and Criminal Conversation actions. In July 2010, I obtained the second highest verdict at that time in North Carolina for an alienation of affection case in the amount of 5.9 million dollars.
In addition to my membership in numerous professional organizations, I am a supporter of the Wounded Warriors Project, Women Against Alzheimer's, St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, The Humane Society of Eastern North Carolina and The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).
When I am not in my office or in the courtroom, I enjoy gardening, traveling, fishing, skeet shooting, listening to music and spending time with my family and friends.
