Tenacious and effective

We came to Cynthia at the recommendation of Attorney Jack Pinnix after finding that my husband’s immigration status was threatened. We had a very complicated case that had next to no precedence upon which she could rely to argue our case. She reached out to colleagues and found a few cases that could... possibly help us. The bottom line is that her tenacity and legal expertise has allowed us to remain an intact family permanently. We will forever be grateful!

Excellent attorney -- "a lawyer's lawyer"

I have known Cynthia for over 20 years and in every dealing I have had with her, she has been exceedingly professional, knowledgeable and her compassion for her clients is amazing. She is my "go to" attorney when I have a complex case and I am thankful for her assistance and counsel.

Restored my Faith in Lawyers

I am a Canadian who was married to an American; Cynthia Aziz helped me to separate the already started process of a green card through a divorce forced upon me. She was kind, caring, sensitive to my needs and was very knowledgeable. I had just come through a horrible experience with a divorce lawyer... that completely took advantage of and overcharged me, so I was presently surprised when Cynthia took the time to answer all my questions. Her response time to emails I would send was incredible, and throughout the process I never once felt out of the loop. She restored my faith in the right attorneys and was very encouraging. Everyone in the office was friendly and completed their jobs professionally. If you are in need of an immigration attorney, you will not be disappointed if you call Cynthia Aziz.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
