Lawyer/ Mediator

Cindy Barry was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and personable with our case. We connected with her immediately and felt we could trust her with everything.

Best Parenting Coordinator

I had Cindy Barry as our Parenting Coordinator . Being a Parenting Coordinator is a very hard job, especially when the other parent refuses to abide by the agreement, won't do basic parenting, and simply acts in a selfish manner that's the best for herself. Cindy was tough but fair with everyone in...volved. She's the best there is .

Excellent parenting coordinator

Cynthia Barry is an excellent parenting coordinator who is extremely knowledgeable and unbiased. Handles matters with compassion and professionalism. I recommend her as a parenting coordinator and mediator. You could not hire a better one!

An outstanding supervisor

Ms. Barry provided excellent services for a family member's supervised visitation. She made the visits happy and comfortable for the parent and the child. She did not take sides in the dispute. She was a neutral, impartial and very positive person to have supervising these visitations. I cannot ...say anything bad about her.

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!

I can't even express how amazing Cindy Barry is. Cindy is one of the most kind hearted, loving, non-judge mental person I ever came across. I just finished up a 4 yr long custody a battle with 7 year old son. If it wasn't for Mrs. Barry and her hospitality I don't know if my recent victory in court ...would have happened. My son loved her, as did I. Her supervisors are amazing as well. She welcomed my son and I into her home with open arms. They are very approachable, loving, warm, and attentive. Mrs. Barry and her staff always went above and beyond for us. Although supervised visitations aren't always fun(meaning it's usually court ordered) I highly highly highly recommend Cindy. My son and I are finally reunited after a 4 year battle and Cindy was one of the reasons why! We love you!!!! -"T" and "E"

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I highly endorse this lawyer. I have used Cindy for multiple mediations over the past 12 years. She is a very effective mediator and has a high success rate in getting family law cases settled. She is very knowledgeable about family law. She also knows how the local judges and magistrates will most likely apply that law to your particular situation. She goes above and beyond to make the parties involved in the mediation feel comfortable. In conclusion, she is an excellent family law mediator."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Cynthia (Cindy) is a highly effective attorney for whom I have great respect. She is intelligent, personable, and cares very deeply about her clients, children and her work. I have worked together with her on numerous cases, consulted on cases, and referred numerous clients to her in the past, and would not hesitate to refer more in the future. In giving Cynthia an excellent rating, it's not high enough for her professionalism and how she represented my clients!! She is up front with her opinion and being realistic in what you might expect and in her dealings with children and parents. I have used several other parenting coordinators and mediators over the years since I have been practicing, but will look no further. I cannot recommend Cynthia highly enough, I have given her office permission to release my contact information for my law office if you'd like to verify this review, please refer to Allan B."
