Cynthia L. Lazar

Cynthia Lazar was great to work with for my divorce. Divorce is obviously a bitter sweet situation and I was not sure what to expect when going through the process. Cynthia took the time to explain the process and my options. She understood that my ex-wife and I wanted to complete the divorce fast ...and she did all in her power to complete the divorce fast, but she did not rush and was conscious to not overlook any small detail. She advised me of decisions and what was in best interest. She also took the time to sit down with ex-wife and I and explain things regarding the parenting agreement and divorce degree. She avoided conflict and disagreement between my ex-wife and I, while always keeping my best interest in mind. After hearing about other divorces and attorneys, I was beyond cautious and skeptical of working with any attorney. Cynthia Lazar made an unpleasant experience a very pleasant and smooth experience. She is no nonsense, to the point and very passionate about what she does. She respects her client's wishes and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Cynthia Lazar as a divorce attorney.

Ms. Lazar handled my divorce 2 years ago. She was empathetic and genuinely listened to what I had to say and what my expectations were as to what I wanted from a divorce settlement. She provided expert consul on what was doable and what was going to wind up in the courtroom if pursued. It is hard to... hear when you have your mind made up as to what you think is fair and just to you, but if you wind up in the courts you have no idea as to what will result, not to mention the cost. The horror stories I have heard would take your breath away. The choices were always mine and alternatives and compromises resulted in an amicable, equitable decree. She always promptly returned my phone calls and emails, expedited the process and always kept me in the loop. Her billing is meticulously detailed and fair. She has no gender bias and is aggressive and client focused. When you are with her you would think she has no other cases but yours. Her dealings with the opposing attorney helped smooth the process and resulted in compromises from the other party that I thought were not possible. An excellent choice for support, encouragement and wisdom when your world is crashing down around you.

The renowned mediator that handled our divorce highly recommended Ms. Cynthia Lazar when I inquired about possible divorce attorneys. Immediately drawn to Ms. Lazar’s professionalism in the consultation, I hired her on the spot, and a short and easy six weeks later, she finalized my divorce. If you ...are looking for a top-notch attorney, look no further. Ms. Lazar has all the attributes of an outstanding attorney. First, Ms. Lazar’s responsiveness is exemplary. She is always accessible by both telephone and email, responding usually within hours and certainly well within 24 hours. She remained on top of my case at all times; she had documents prepared before I had a chance to ask about them, and she even contacted me via email on a Sunday as she was preparing for my court date that following week. Second, Ms. Lazar’s billing is reasonable and fair. Her commendable efficiency and attention to the client’s financial situation also help to keep the cost to a minimum. During appointments, she avoided adding more billable time to my account by directly entering important changes to documents on the computer as I sat there, instead of merely taking notes and making the changes later. Third, Ms. Lazar remains objective and candid about her cases. She accessed my situation and with honesty pointed out not only the positive, but also the negative, hard-to- face facts. Her experience and expertise enabled her to catch and address every minute, important detail. She gave me sound advice that enabled me to move forward with confidence. Fourth, and most helpful to me at such a stressful time, Ms. Lazar conducted herself like an excellent, empathetic teacher. She walked me through every detail of the case in order to make the process less intimidating. I never felt uneasy because I always knew what to expect, especially on the day of my court appearance. Her unique style made me feel safe from the minute I met her. Ms. Lazar is a terrific attorney, as well as a nice person. Since I am a firm believer that the “apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, “ I plan to use her husband Jerrold A. Lazar as my real estate attorney for the next hurdle that follows a divorce—the sale of the house!

Cynthia handled my divorce in 2005 & is now handling some post-decree work for me. She has always been very straightforward and knowledgeable in every area and puts everything in "layman's terms" so you feel very comfortable. Cynthia is very responsive to calls & e-mails and truly makes you feel at... all times that she is in your corner and working hard for you. Her results bear that out! She may be soft-spoken, but I never doubt her veracity in fighting for her client. Cynthia is definitely someone I would want in my corner. Glad she was, and is, in mine!
