Family law has been the focus of my law practice since I began my work as an attorney. Choosing an attorney to represent you for your divorce, custody and support, modification or enforcement matter is one of the most important decisions that you will make during those processes. Your attorney should be someone you trust, who listens to and works with you to set goals and attain them.
I tailor my representation and guidance to each client and their specific needs. No two clients' goals and situations are the same. Hearing and listening to my clients are both important. I care about my clients and their futures beyond their current situation; my clients and I form a partnership during their legal process to help them work through the issues they face.
At the time that I began practicing law, I chose family law because I enjoy working directly with people and helping them through difficult times. I strive to provide my clients with personal, one-on-one attention to their legal needs. I make myself available to my clients as they need so we can address the events that occur during the changing times in their lives. When selecting a family law attorney, it is vital to choose someone with focused experience and skill who can handle the complicated legal issues involved. It is also important to select an attorney with whom you are comfortable sharing the personal details of your history and who gives your legal matter the attention it deserves. I have extensive experience litigating complex custody, support and property matters. I also have experience representing clients in cooperative and "Collaborative" cases where the parties work together to reach a settlement that works for them and their family. In addition to represent clients individually, in my practice I also serve as a mediator to parties wanting to resolve their divorces, custody and support cases and modifications. In mediation, I work with both parties to settle their cases.

Long-term client
I have been a client of Cynthia's for 10 plus years. She is experienced and knowledgeable and has always answered my questions in a timely manner. As is typical, my ex is difficult to deal with and Cynthia has worked diligently to manage him/his attorney in a way that is respectful and productive. ...

Great attorney
Cynthia was excellent. She was there when I needed her and answered any question I had. She made a difficult time in my life go as smoothly as possible. Very glad I hired her and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in need of an attorney.

Biased against Fathers
If she is assigned to your custody case and you are a father, you will be screwed. My ex lied the entirety of our case and was never reprimanded. Ms Albin cared very little about seeing a dad’s side and instead ruled for my ex every time. Run if she is appointed to your case!!!!

Poor services, Communication and is NOT friendly at ALL
If you use Cynthia do not expect a call or any communications back for weeks. She also doesn't provide a detailed bill for her clients. I would not recommend her to anyone as she failed our family and made decisions solely based on emails. We spoke to her once. She also can meditate between paren...

Mmmm pissed off mom
You were recommended by a friend, who you failed. Then you took all my money-I had nothing. I personally believe you could redeem yourself if you actually meant business for your clients. 6 years I’ve been beatin down. I’m a good mother you got scared by power. I hate you for how you treated me. ...
"I have had many cases with Cynthia and I find her to be diligent, hard working, ethical, and compassionate in her role as opposing counsel and as a guardian ad litem. She has almost 20 years of experience and she is well respected in the St. Louis and St. Charles legal communities and before their judges. She is a zealous advocate when needed and a resourceful problem solver if a case can be settled in lieu of trial. She is part of a prestigious family law and volunteers in the legal community actively. I would highly recommend you consider Cynthia as your attorney."
