Highly recommend!

Cynthia was professional, patient, understanding, and successful in advocating for me throughout the process of my divorce. She knows the law well and what the judge considers in court. I appreciated her efficiency, quality of work, and consideration of my time and finances. Cynthia was recommended t...o me by a friend, and I would have no qualms to do the same for someone looking for a high-value, high-quality lawyer.

SHE BEAT ILLINOIS CHILD SUPPORT

I hired Cindy as the State of Illinois (and my ex-wife) said I was delinquent on Child Support. Cindy took on the State of Illinois and presented them with all of my receipts and check stubs and The Judge not only sided with me, I actually received a credit! If I did not hire Cindy, the State o...f Illinois would have garnished everything, that's why you need a good Attorney like Cynthia Briscoe! Thanks Cindy, David

Unprofessional

Cynthia does not get back to me with answers to my questions. When she did get back to me with an answer the next time we would talk she would have a completely different answer. She was always rushed and prior to my court appearance she had maybe five minutes to speak with me so I went into court co...mpletely clueless as to what was going on and why. The outcome was horrible and I felt like she did not represent me well at all. I also didn’t appreciate the fact that the fee I was quoted was twice as much at the end and it ended badly. All the things she said would never happen happened. I could have represented myself and would have been better off. I hired a professional because I don’t understand all the procedures like a lawyer would therefore I expect complete honesty about the process and the total it will cost me. I would never recommend this lawyer.

Highly recommend!

I hired Cynthia to handle my divorce case. She was extremely professional and helped me tremendously. I emailed and called her a lot and she always took the time to help me understand. She was more than reasonably priced and even now a year after my case was settled she continues to help me when I... need it. I highly recommend her.

If you’re considering Cynthia J. Briscoe, she is the attorney that you are looking for.

I retained Cynthia J. Briscoe practically at the last minute for a custody case that was already scheduled for trial. I provided Cynthia with a ton of information for the case and she really stepped up to the plate and took immediate action. I was astonished with the fact that she reviewed and retain...ed all the information I gave her to prepare for trial so quickly. Cynthia promptly kept me updated on the status of things without making me wait for answers. The office staff is super friendly; one person even told me that I could talk about things I needed to get off my chest without even being charged money. I felt like I was treated more like a friend then a client, and that’s what I needed during such a difficult time. If you know that your case is going to trial, I urge you to retain Cynthia, unless you’re divorcing me because I want to use her. Seriously though, Cynthia’s exceptional skills as a trial lawyer prevailed in the court room with her confidence and her ability to plan and concisely relay her points to the court. I’m writing this review before I know the outcome of my case because even if things don’t work out in my favor, I know Cynthia did the best she could for me and I will not have any regrets using her services. If you want an attorney that you can trust, one who has you the client as their best interest I recommend Cynthia J. Briscoe.
