One star rating is too high. If you are a Father or a lawyer who represents a Father, stay away from this Ad Litem. No matter what my children’s Mother did, Ms. Albin ruled for her for over 2 years on the mothers behalf while I did absolutely nothing that would cause her to rule against me. I’m the ...one who requested an Ad Litem. At one point I was told that if I ring the doorbell when I pick my children up at thier mother’s residence, this action would improve my chances of having the Mother follow court orders and turn the children over to me on my appointed time. Shockingly, that solution didn’t improve me getting my children. On the other hand, if you are a Mother, I would give her a 5 star plus rating.

Cynthia spent very little time with my children nor explored their needs in regards to co-parenting. She never examined the contempt facts outlined through court records nor did she look to assist in resolving the issues or make recommendations as to how to safeguard against future violations. I wo...uld not recommend her in any capacity when it comes to cases involving children.

I do not recommend Cynthia Albin if children are involved. She did not listen to me or my child. My poor child is having horrible problems now, is very depressed and is mentally abused. It was the worst choice of my life to allow her to work on my kids case. Please do not hire this lawyer if you want... something done, or if you want to be heard.

I retained Ms. Albin to file for an adjustment on my child support payments. A very straightforward process. When we met, she said that the guidelines for child support had been drastically reduced, and I expected this to be a fairly easy process. After I turned in my initial papers, I received... an email from her that said "I see you got all your papers in. Does that mean that you and your wife have reconciled?" I was confused, and wrote back saying so. Her response was "Oh, I'm so embarrassed. I confused your name with someone else." This made me apprehensive, but I thought it was one mistake, let it go. Then, after my ex-wife got her papers into Ms. Albin, I receive an email saying "this doesn't look good. Your ex and you are not on the same page. I don't know how you are going to pay for the children's college education." After reading this, I was totally flabbergasted and confused. She said I could call her the next day at noon to discuss. I did, she was unavailable. I wrote her two emails, she didn't respond. Whether my ex and I are "on the same page" has nothing to do with the amount dictated by the state that I should be paying. And college expenses? We did not even discuss this. Very unorganized and unprofessional attorney.
