Highly Recommend

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.

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...ts and would NOT recommend her as a parent coordinator or lawyer. USE SOMEONE ELSE!

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. ...You got scared by Peter love who was never a family attorney. You did me dirty, I trusted you. Hope you are the most miserable person on this earth. Your children deserve better. Play in traffic

Child Perspective

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.
