Rude lady, waste of money and time

Clean record, got a traffic citation, they got me to plead guilty to do defensive driving. Waste of money and time.

Unorganized

Cynthia failed to show up to court, and blames me, even though I was following the same process I went through the first time she represented me. I believe that she forgot, but the real insult is in not taking responsibility for actions and trying to blame her client. Very unprofessional.

I am sorry about any miscommunication. However I was not hired by you on this case and no money was exchanged. I would appreciate it if you would take out the part that I was hired or retained. I understand that your partner was able to get his case dismissed on his own at the 1st setting which I think he handled his own case well.

Amazing

Cynthia is an amazing lawyer and has a great staff on hand. I have a CDL and Cynthia was able to get all my cases dismiss. Her staff kept me info about my court date and are very respectful. Thank you Cynthia and staff for all you're hard work.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
