Do Not Hire

Cynthia was by far the worst experience i have ever had with a lawyer. She not only told me that she had everything filed( which she did not). The communication was horrible i would call and email and would not receive anything back for days. She charged me for stuff she did not do and refuses to cal...l me back to discuss what she billed me for. Its been an absolutely horrible experience and i would never recommend her to anyone for that matter. I would give her 0 stars if it allowed me to.

Thank you Cynthia! Your knowledge and professionalism paid off for me.

I hired Cynthia to take over my child support case from another attorney that was wasting time and money for me. My first meeting with Cynthia was very impressive. She right away found out that my previous attorney failed to summit an important document to the court to suspend my child support. Af...ter one week, Cynthia had my child support suspended! I would highly recommend this attorney, she's very professional, and very knowledgeable to the laws, she gets it done!!

She was fantastic and we would definitely use her again!

Ms. Briscoe was our attorney in a very entangled guardianship case, and we feel she was not only extremely knowledgeable in this field, but also went way above and beyond in helping us, keeping us informed, and responding to our inquiries. She explained all the options and reasons behind each decisio...n's choices. She genuinely cared about our issues, concerns, and the welfare of our family in general. I hope we don't have to use an attorney again, but if we do, we will certainly hire Ms. Briscoe's services with confidence. We give her our highest recommendation, and we are extremely grateful for her help.

Beware!

Do not retain Cynthia if you care about your case. 6 months, and almost $3000 later and STILL nothing filed except petition for dissolution. She does not communicate with you, answer calls, or respond to emails. Her secretary will tell you, every time, "I'll call you back with an answer"...never to b...e heard from again. Biggest mistake of my life... Have retained someone else, who is fighting for me and getting things accomplished. BUYER BEWARE

DO NOT USE!

Cynthia NEVER responded back to phone calls.. every time I would call and leave a message, I was charged. She was always late for court, and never took what I had to say in mind. She TOTALLY screwed up my case for child custody, and I lost.. needless to say, she was FIRED!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • 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.
