Cynthia K. Mason

I knew from the very beginning that my divorce would be contested, even hostile. There were issues with a disabled child, DSS child services, not to mention infidelity and some very real psychological issues on the part of my ex. I called the State Bar Association for a recommendation, a lawyer wit...h experience in these areas, and specifically asked for one "with teeth". They connected me with Cynthia Mason, and I was immediately impressed with her. In one of the longest, most drawn out divorces I could have imagined, she was always on top of everything, armed to the hilt with data, both procedural and personal, at every turn, to counter each new twist my ex called into play, She also saved me from myself, with advice and instruction that kept me from making some key errors through my ignorance and frustration as delay after delay from my ex's side wore me down (her tactic of choice). With Cynthia's encouragement I stayed the course, and in the end I was awarded the house, and my children, with no alimony obligations and even a monetary award for support of our autistic daughter. Looking back, I now see that no other possible path would have resulted in so good an outcome, something that Cynthia never lost sight of, and I will be forever grateful to her, and to the South Carolina Bar for leading me to her.
