Excellent Attorney

Cynthia is the attorney you want on your side. She is knowledgeable on many different levels of family law and will walk you through the steps of the process. She is quite impressive I must say! When our court date arrived, she was like a firecracker and didn’t miss a beat! Cynthia’s confidence and k...nowledge was very apparent. I highly recommend this attorney for any child custody/child support cases. Although my case was several years ago, if I were to be placed in a similar situation again, there would be no hesitation on my end to contact Cynthia Locklear immediately! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cynthia Locklear is the BEST family law attorney in the Wilmington area

Cynthia Locklear is an amazing attorney, a true professional. Cindy is smart, very knowledgable, thoughtful and is not afraid to speak the truth. Cindy provides great results, solves issues quickly and is also someone who will fight for you. Cindy listened to my story, understood where I was coming f...rom and outlined my options based on her extensive background. Cindy walked me through the process from start to finish, made me feel like I was not alone and that she would be there for me step by step. I have 1 small child and it was comforting to know that we would be taken care of and she would fight for us. I did not end up moving forward, instead we continued on with couples counseling, but if I ever find myself in need I would not hesitate to contact Cindy again. I know many others that have hired her as well and you will be extremely happy with her services- as she is the best family law attorney in the Wilmington area. I highly recommend Cynthia Locklear
