About Cindy
Biography
There is no substitute for experience. Cindy S. Vova has practiced law in South Florida since 1984. She possesses the knowledge and front-line know how to make a difference in your case.
She founded her firm, the Law Office of Cindy S. Vova, P.A., in 1992 on a heritage rooted in ethics, integrity and honor. As the principal of the firm, Cindy strives to smoothly and skillfully resolve all types of family conflicts with the least possible level of animosity and the highest degree of professionalism, particularly when there are children involved.
Attorney Cindy S. Vova founded the firm in Fort Lauderdale, Florida after eight years of working with some of South Florida’s most prestigious law firms, and after becoming a parent herself. As a boutique firm, concentrating on all aspects of family law, we pride ourselves on the genuine care, concern and commitment that we apply to every family law problem.
Understanding that frequently traditional and customary methods in resolving family law disputes are adversarial, and therefore often inadequate, our firm devote significant time and employ creative methods in exploring alternative approaches for resolving family law disputes including mediation and collaborative law.

Honest
I worked with Ms. Vova in 2016 in my divorce case and she was so kind and caring throughout the process. She was so patient with me every step of the way and she truly protected me. Highly recommend.

Caring, compassionate, knowledgeable and honest!
Cindy Vova was recommended to me by the husband of her former client. He said he wished he'd hired her..and not because she was a shark, but because she was always on top of the case and really cared about their kids. When I hired her this was all true in my case. She fairly assessed the situation...

Replied last September 14, 2020I always strive to treat each of my clients with the utmost compassion, which stems from having passion for family law. Going through a divorce, paternity action or any matter involving children is not easy. Our goal is to look beyond when our job ends and try to come up with a solution that will serve our client and the children in the future as well. Thank you so much for your kind words.

Great Divorce Lawyer !!
There isn't enough space to write how grateful I am to Mrs. Vova. I came to her for help (upon the recommendation of a former client) at one of the lowest points in my life, the end of my marriage. Her genuine compassion, honesty, and vast knowledge of the law took the burden and worry off of me an...

Replied last September 14, 2020One of our top goals is to help our clients stop worrying during the divorce process and leave the burdens to us. We understand that being involved in any type of court proceeding is a strange and different world, and especially when it involves your family. I will always have time for my clients, past and present, to help them through the tunnel to the light on the other side!
