Empathetic and Trustworthy

For my dui case, Cynthia had the knowledge and the empathy for an excellent defense attorney. Cynthia is very attentive and had a non-aggressive yet confident manner in leading my family and I to correct choices. My family and I always felt like we were given very informed choices.

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.
