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.

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

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.
