Adoption 17%

Adoption can be one of the most fulfilling events in an individual's life. It takes a close bond one individual has with another and gives it legal status. While there are several types of adoption, our Fort Pierce adoption attorney at the Cunzo Law Firm is prepared to help you understand your legal options and establish the most beneficial type of adoption tailored to your circumstances.

Divorce and Separation 14%

At the Cunzo Law Firm, we recognize that divorce is often a very sensitive subject for our clients and their families. Often, spouses may agree on issues in the beginning and end up in a deadlock halfway through the process.

Family 14%

If you are involved in a family matter that concerns timesharing (custody or visitation), you want someone who fully understands the law and the process, and one who has successfully protected the rights of other parents in timesharing disputes. Hiring the right attorney as early as possible is essential in your timesharing case; otherwise, you may not only be throwing away your money, but you may also be losing precious time with your children.

Excellent, caring attorney! Highly recommended.

When you're going through an emotional custody case, you most certainly want an attorney who is knowledgeable, but also one who cares and is willing to fight for you. It's that simple. With all of the uncertainty that makes you feel so vulnerable and with stakes at their highest, you can not afford t...o hire an attorney who gives 50%, or even 80%, which is what we had done before finding Kim. You want the peace of knowing that your attorney is covering all bases to get you the best outcome. Kim Cunzo gave us that assurance. What a blessing she was to us! After our very first consultation, we left with a huge weight off of our shoulders confident that she was going to handle everything for us, and she did. Kim is not only very sharp but she is thorough in answering any questions you may have, promptly returning your calls and emails. She also has an amazing staff of friendly, hardworking girls which we appreciated so much. Thank you, Kim, Betsy & Melissa for helping us find peace in a difficult situation. You will certainly hear from us again should the need arise. God bless.

Very tricky divorce handled by Ms Kim A Cunzo

Very attentive and knowledgeable in her field! When I left my now ex,I was penniless and she worked with me on the up front fees.(She did make me pay her in full of course!!!!) Great follow thru and personal touches made for a successful divorce.This case was very difficult and complicated and she ha...ndled it beautifully. I would highly recommend her to anyone in search of a competent ,aggressive family law attorney! Thank you Kim

Outstanding Service

After consulting with other lawyers I decided that Kim offered the best service. She is very knowledgable in her field bust most of all she was prompt and always answered my questions no matter how busy she was. Even after my divorce I would reach out to her for suggestions and Kim always pointed m...e into the right direction as far as me getting the correct information.

Excellent Experience!

Kim is a knowledgable, professional and thorough attorney. She made sure we understood the process, kept us informed of the status of our adoption and followed up as necessary. I highly recommend her firm for all your family law needs.

Solid Recommendation - Kim Cunzo

I want to take this opportunity to offer my solid recommendation for the services of Kim Cyndi. She has and continues to represent me in my separation/divorce proceeding. Her knowledge of the law and respect she has gained for gerself within the legal community is above reproach. She has a keen mind ...coupled with straight-forward recommendations that places a client very much at ease during trying and difficult circumstances. If you are seeking a totally well-qualified and competent attorney then I strongly recommend Kim Cunzo.
