Cynthia Toscano

Attorney Cynthia Toscano believes in the power of new beginnings. Having witnessed her own parents navigate a complex divorce in a system they struggled to understand, she knows firsthand how overwhelming family law matters can feel. This personal experience shaped her mission: to help families navigate legal transitions from a place of empowerment rather than fear.

During her first year at IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law, Cynthia discovered her calling while volunteering at the Self Help Web Center. Helping self-represented individuals with court forms opened her eyes to the profound need for compassionate family law attorneys, especially within the Spanish-speaking immigrant community. This experience, combined with her own family's journey, cemented her decision to dedicate her career to family law.

Some of Cynthia's proudest moments as an attorney came early in her career. Less than two years after becoming licensed, she successfully led her first trial against a founding partner of an established firm. In another memorable case, she helped her client secure a portion of valuable real estate holdings by successfully challenging an international prenuptial agreement. These victories reinforced her belief that thorough preparation and unwavering advocacy can level any playing field.

Her connection to the community runs deep. As a first-generation American, college graduate, and attorney, Cynthia draws inspiration from the strength and resilience she witnesses not only from the members of her community, but from all clients she has the privilege of assisting as they navigate profound life changes.

Cynthia lives in the Chicagoland area with her high school sweetheart and their three children. When she's not in court or meeting with clients, you'll find her cheering from the sidelines as a dedicated soccer mom, discovering new restaurants throughout the city, or curling up with a good book. She particularly loves Chicago's vibrant cultural diversity and access to Lake Michigan's shores, though she occasionally loves to escape to various cities throughout her native Mexico.
