This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Outstanding professionalism and excellent service

Attorney Cynthia Lauriston took the time to educate me and made sure I understood the proceedings of my case. We met several times to strategize and she was always professional, informative and patient. She provided me with several ways of communicating with her and my calls/emails were always acknow...ledged in a timely manner. I was so pleased with her service that I've referred several clients to her and they've also shared my sentiments on her outstanding understanding of law and exceptional professionalism.

So grateful!

I have always dealt with lawyers for different legal reasons, so I know how layers can come across sometimes. However, when I hired Cynthia I got more then I paid for. She always returned my calls on a timely manner and followed through on what she advised me. She also worked on my case fast. I am ve...ry grateful for all her help and expertise.

Great Attorney

I sought the services of Cynthia as a consultant to my family law case. She took the time to listen and clarify my questions instead of automatically assuming my needs and rushing me as I have experienced with other attorneys in the past. I know the laws regarding my situation rather well. Cynthia wa...s kind enough to refine that knowledge while offering a new level of insight and strategy

  • 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.
