The Best Divorce Attorney

Without a doubt you'd be getting the top attorney with Cynthia. Attorneys can make or break a case and in my complex divorce she achieved a result every other attorney (including opposing counsels) said was impossible. But she knew more than them, was better prepared and prevailed. I will be forev...er grateful for her work. If you have the opportunity to hire her, you are lucky. Her knowledge and professionalism puts her way above the others. Since divorces often have life changing consequences, you need the best and that is her. She cares about her client which is rare among divorce lawyers. 5 stars don't do justice to her quality.

Giving back Control

I highly recommend Cynthia services not only as an expert in family law but also as a good listener and informed adviser. In a very short time, after loosing time and money with another attorney I finally got my case solved by an agreement with very good terms for me and my girls.

Amaizing Lawyer!

I have no words to describe the amazing job Cindy has done in my case. After expending thousands with others attorneys that just tell you want you want to hear, a very good friend of mine recommended me Cynthia and all I could say is that if is it wasn't for her I could probably be on supervised visi...ts with both of my children and lost all hopes of family reunification . She will never give up and will push the other side until justice is serve. She will never make promises she cant deliver like other lawyers do, some times she will give you the advice that you don't want to hear, but if you follow her intuition you will get the best results. Very professional, very smart and years of expertise that makes her one of the best family attorneys in south Florida.

Divorce

Cynthia has been excellent in the way she has been handling my divorce & the ongoing battle. I would be the 1st to recommend her to any one I know.

Excellent Attorney

Dear Cynthia I would like to take this opportunity to share with potential clients my experiences with your over a 3 year period and 3 divorces. Cindi knowledge and expertise of family law, and has been outstanding. Cindi can easily become a judge herself. Winning ethics awards and being r...espected and admired by judges is understood when you have her defending you. She demonstrates the rare combination of competency and honesty. When you receive an invoice you can rest assured that there is not 1 minute of extra billing, yes her rate is not cheap but either is her service. She has advised me to do trivial things myself rather than working up hours as many other top notch lawyers do. I highly recommend, especially a man with assets and children to use Cindi for their defense. She doesn't back down, and she meets opposing counsel's challenges head on. On a scale of 1-10, she gets a 12 from me. Sincerely David G
