I had very little time to find a lawyer to cover my custody case. Cynthia was one of three lawyers I spoke to and I knew she would be the right fit for me. My case was pending for almost a year and a half. It was extremely long and Cynthia was there every step of the way. As an advisor, she always re...commended taking the higher road and I respected her for that. She thinks about the big picture, even when you're unable to do so in the moment. She genuinely cared about the outcome for my child. She'd write or call even if it wasn't convenient for her and even if it was "I just saw your email, I will get back to you". She was upfront and honest about how legal procedures work so that I could make the best choices on creating a plan for our future. I was not an easy client, pretty demanding actually and she handled it extremely well. I am so grateful for her hard work.

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. ... She always shares her opinion and gives a general idea of the costs involved with a particular strategy. She listens to what I have to say and has always respected my decisions, even if they differed from her advice. Having a good relationship with your divorce attorney is extremely important, and I am grateful for the relationship that I have with Cynthia.

When selecting an attorney to represent me in my divorce, it was critical for me to find one who would be conscious of the cost associated with this process, listen, understand and make the most of the facts I was presenting. I knew my case was not typical and a cookie cutter approach was not going ...to benefit me in the long run. I interviewed 3 attorneys during my selection process. My divorce is now final and looking back, Cynthia Albin not only met my needs but far exceeded them. Like most of you reading this recommendation, this process was a road untraveled for me. From my first meeting with Cynthia, I was impressed with her professionalism but, at the same time made me feel extremely comfortable. Over 18 months, she guided me through the process step by step, providing me with options to make the most of my funds. There were many evenings and weekends where she made herself available to me by phone or e-mail while being very prudent in her billing. Unfortunately, due to the uncooperativeness and the games the opposition was playing, my divorce went to full trial. Cynthia used every fact I had presented and built a solid case. While being the upmost professional, she was fierce when needed. I truly felt she was representing me and always kept my interests in mind during the process. Cynthia and her paralegal, Ann, also provided guidance as I transitioned into single life. There is much to do post-divorce and so many of those small things can be overlooked. I cannot thank Cynthia Albin and her paralegal, Ann Grimm enough for their responsiveness, compassion, knowledge and dedication. I would highly recommend Cynthia Albin.

Many of these reviews appear to be parents, but i am writing from a child's point of view. Cynthia is apart of the "Kids For Cash" scheme sprouting all throughout St. Louis family court. This scheme can be vaguely described as GALs across the St. Louis areas, are placing children in toxic homes, in o...rder to prolong the court case, to get more money. There is so much more to that, though I started researching this when i had my own experience with Mrs. Albin. I was put into an extremely toxic environment and had to endure extreme amounts of mental and physical abuse. As much as I would try and voice my opinions to her, my words would get twisted to make me appear as if i was insane. Later, I found out that Cynthia was being paid under the table by my abusive father, which is very illegal, to sway the case. Cynthia has forever put damage in my life, so that she could pad her pockets. I often wonder how a mother could do this to another child. Do not consider Cynthia if you want your kids to be placed in a loving, safe environment.

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.
