Cynthia Lajean White

My ex took my Son to Illinois on an order written by a Commissioner in Bakersfield. She wanted a $50 consult fee. I paid $25 in cash, and wrote a check for the other $25. After getting paid and putting out her cigarette, she told me, "I can't help you, take it up in Illinois." That was twenty years a...go, without a visitation order, I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM SINCE. I PUT A STOP PAYMENT ON THE CHECK. JUSTICE?

Cynthia yelled at me while explaining a visitation order. I could not for the life of me understand the judges order and during a phone call she yelled at me while explaining it. She l apologized after - said she had a long day, but the experience rubbed me the wrong way. Her staff was great and alwa...ys gave our family updated through email and phone calls.

Considering hiring this attorney , but her prices are doubled compared to a few other local offices…so do some research beforehand. Her personality was great and I found some helpfulness in the advice I was given. After my consult I spoke with a friend who hired her as her attorney to gain insight on... what it’ll be like working with her. she said lots things would always pop up because of personal events happening in Cynthias life. Which caused delay with her case. She also mentioned her office manager just wasn’t the best to work with and always made her feel stupid for asking about her case or having any questions at all. She ended up hiring someone different.. I will mention.. I didn’t like how her office manager spoke with me when I scheduled my consult either. So extremely rude with snide comments. When I called back to see how I could pay, I was greeted with a different office staff who seemed more polite and helpful to my concerns for payment! I spoke with this lady for about 10 minutes. If I remember correctly her name was Marlene! If you call this attorneys office just make sure to speak with her! Extremely helpful!! Thought I’d leave a more recent review since I struggled to find one. Still debating hiring Cynthia. Will leave an updated review when I have decided.

Cindy is my Family Law Attorney. She exceeded my expectation and has done an amazing job on my case. After she was on my case, I felt that my matter was in good hands and I was right. Every person I have referred to her called me back and thanked me. Cindy tells it like it is and doesn’t make fal...se promises to get your money. She really cares about her clients and puts them first. She is the real deal!

I have to say that this was a hard review to write, because I really enjoyed working with Ms. White. She was spot on as a lawyer and handled my case very well. However he staff is completely incompetent, forgetful and disrespectful. Any time I would have to deal with her staff I dreaded it, they lost... paperwork, failed to send notices, failed to give messages to Ms. White and anytime I would question them I would get a very rude nasty response. They truly acted as if you should be glad that they were being paid to handle your case. Also their office could use some updating as well as cleaning, you will reek of cigarette smoke upon leaving. Again Ms. White is a great lawyer, I would feel completely comfortable using her again if she could improve the quality of work her staff produces.
