About Cynthia
Biography
I have over 24 years of experience in negotiating and litigating divorces, representing buyers and sellers in residential real estate transactions and helping people divide their retirement plans in divorce. I love drafting and enter QDROs, QILDROs and orders to divide Railroad Retirement Plan and military pension benefits. I have been qualified as an expert witness in the area of retirement plan division in divorce and would love to help you with your legal needs!
I can help with the following:
Selling or buying a home, basic Will, Power of Attorney or Health Care Power of Attorney, drafting/negotiating pre-nuptial agreements and of course, division of retirement plans in divorce as well as retirement plan division litigation.

Amazinf
She did amazing work for my boyfriend post divorce. She is fair and absolutely has her clients back. She fought for him and did an amazing job. I don’t think I can say amazing enough and HIGHLY recommend her. She knows her stuff and fights for her client.
