Hands down the best family law attorney in Houston

I highly recommend Cindy Hide for any family law issue you may be dealing with. Not only does Cindy have over 20 years of experience in family law, but she is quite unique from any other family law attorney I had spoken with. In addition to being detail oriented, diligent, well spoken, and providing ...me with a clear understanding of the various moving parts of family law, Cindy is also well versed in mediation, which was attractive to me in the event that I wished to come to a resolution without extreme litigation, contention, and expense. Not only does Cindy serve has a lawyer, knowledgeable about the court system, and an incredibly zealous advocate, but also as a compassionate, kind, and caring life coach, which I’ve found to be rare in other attorneys I’ve consulted with. Her straight forward and compassionate approach was exactly what I needed. She took the time to listen to my needs and check in with me every step of the way, both asking my thoughts on any next step as well as explaining the pros and cons of each potential move to me. I felt comfortable and as though she was truly assisting me in my desired outcome. It quickly became apparent to me that Cindy does this work because she truly has a passion for individuals and assisting them through tough times in our lives, and she does it with honesty and empathy. I have been incredibly impressed by her, and would trust her opinion and expertise with any legal matter that may come up for me in the future. I highly recommend Cindy if you are looking to come out of a divorce healthy and successful, as well as if you need assistance with mediation, pre nuptial agreements, post nuptial agreements or child custody and support.

We got it all!

It is doable to have a very deeply respectful and successful "conscious uncoupling", especially when you have an attorney like Cindy Hide who holds the highest standards for what is possible. I am so grateful for Cindy and her prodigious professional expertise as well as her genuine care and respect,... along with her ability to hold the big picture for everyone. We had been having a hard time finding just the right family law attorney, who was also a mediator, to handle our divorce. This was before "conscious uncoupling" became popular and no one seemed to want to deal with an uncontested divorce that required some delicate negotiations regarding the final settlement. From the moment I met Cindy Hyde, I knew she could provide the perfect solution. She understood and believed in our concept, she had all the qualifications I was looking for, and most of all she had exactly the win-win attitude that I knew would be necessary to facilitate a successful process for both myself and my soon to be former husband. She took her time with each of us so that everyone was comfortable and she enabled both of us to relax into the whole legal process as well. It is emotionally intense enough to go through a divorce, but with the added financial and legal implications it can be very scary. Cindy was able to put each of us at ease, even when we had vastly different concerns during the process, because she knew we both desired the same functional outcome. This clearly became a team effort and we got it all - the divorce, the platform for an ongoing positive familial social relationship, and the financial trust and respect by/for both parties - all thanks to Cindy Hyde.

Excellent Choice

If you are looking for calm, competent, caring, empathetic yet tenacious representation - Cindy is a great choice. She is such an expert in family law and takes her time to understand and respect your needs as a client. I have known her for some time now and feel quite happy with the services she has... rendered to me as a client. - MJ

Bad choice for a Divorce

I hired Cindy Hide to represent me in my divorce in May 2017. I expected her to guide me during my divorce proceedings. She failed to provide me with any information, guidance nor financial worksheets to help me prepare for the arduous task of preparing an Inventory and appraisement. After 10 usel...ess months of representation, Cindy Hide folded my hand. She did not order forensic analysis of the accounting my spouse provided which was manipulated. She is a weak lawyer and not capable of defending against tricky lawyers. Cindy Hide said she could not work with me if I did not agree to move out of our marital property which she mediated with the opposing counsel against my wishes. I warn you to not trust your future with this lawyer. After almost a year, I hired another divorce lawyer who provided Inventory and Appraisement worksheets and found information about businesses owned by my spouse from Texas Secretary of State. A one person law firm like Cindy Hide does not have the ability to provide expertise against a law firm with several attorneys that specialize in family law.

Family law is one of the most underestimated, complex areas of legal practice. It’s why I’ve intentionally chosen to have a boutique law firm so that I can work closely with each client to personally explain timelines and agree on litigation strategies, instead of heavily relying on paralegals or other support staff to manage critical issues. Frequently, I’ve seen that stress and uncertainty can trigger many unresolved emotions, particularly when a vision of the future has totally collapsed. I treat every case as if it were my own because I’ve been through divorce and I understand that it’s not fun. I’m sorry you feel like you had a bad experience with my firm. I always strive for the utmost client satisfaction in every case. Please contact me directly to address your specific concerns.
