Cynthia Suzanne Barry

It's amazing that people said she is rude... She is simply straight forward and she won't beat around the bushes. Unfortunately, some people don't understand the law and don't want to follow rules or law! Only then, does Cindy becomes forceful and more direct. She works for the best interest of the... child and she does not care about the parents agendas. She makes sure that rules are followed and both parties (parents) are complying with what is requested or required. Cindy is understanding, compassionate, HONEST, and very knowledgeable about the law. I would recommend her any time. Cindy’s billing was never an issue for me. I kept my own notes regarding the entire process which included phone calls, emails, visits, etc. and never had any discrepancies in her billing. It was always on the money! Cindy’s communication with me was excellent! Every email, or phone call, she answered the same day or within 24 hours. I didn't have a single problem with anything Cindy did! Excellent job! Excellent person! Excellent to work with! She was appointed for 2 years by the court…and I can call her my child’s guardian angel!

Attorney Cynthia Barry has helped me immensely on my child custody case. She is intelligent, up to date on the law, quick thinking, and, most importantly, compassionate. In custody disputes, her chief concern is that of the children, rather than serving a parents agenda. Ms. Barry does not give up ...even in cases that seem hopeless. I am aware of other many other cases that were mediated successfully by Attorney Barry, saving much heartache and money. If you are serious about the welfare of a loved one, I would recommend Ms Barry without reservation.

For those in need of a good, helpful Parent Coordinator DO NOT GO to Cynthia Barry! Ms. Barry was very rude and unprofessional in her emails to me, and the only things she cared about was getting her retainer fee of $1000. She is another "professional" (however I would not call her such) in a field w...here she seems to take advantage of her position and thinks somehow it is acceptable to be rude to her clients, I guess because she is a lawyer. If you call her out on her unprofessional manner she will decide not to take your case on, even if you worked for months to get a court ordered PC like I did in my case. There are so many "professionals" in Manatee County who should not be allowed to practice in the family law fields they reside in, and she is one of them. Taking advantage of a family that needs a mediator is not o.k, and being rude and short to clients just on the basis that you know the family is in need is unacceptable. So if you are a parent in need of a good parent coordinator, best of luck finding one in this County, and do not go to Cynthia Barry!
