About Cynthia

For years, I represented corporations in products liability, pharmaceutical liability and medical negligence cases, but after a decade of working on the defense-side, I opened my own firm where I use my knowledge, skills, and training to help people.  My firm practices family law (divorce, custody disputes, child support, adoptions, premarital agreements) and plaintiff's personal injury litigation.  My firm is a 100% minority and women-owned law firm.   In the legal arena, the first step towards success is hiring the right lawyer!

Amazing lawyer

Posted by

Cindy went above and beyond for me. I had filed online and brought Cindy the papers to review. Cindy was very thorough in her review of my documents and really helped guide me through the process. Cindy took time out of her busy schedule to ensure I was taken care of. I couldn’t be more thankful for the work and guidance that Cindy provided me.

Great Divorce Lawyer

Posted by

After a long marriage that ultimately failed, I started the legal filings on my own for a divorce. I got to a point where I didn't know what to do. I searched for lawyers in my city and found Cindy. She had great reviews and my experience was also great. She navigated the paperwork for me and made sure all the paperwork was completed properly. She gave expert legal advice on how to work my situation. It was relief not having to worry about the paperwork being right, but the real value (worth the price) is her knowledge. This is not just knowledge about what to expect through the process, how to counter, but also how to work key parts like child support and visitation rights. I thought I understood these well when I started. But I really did not, and Cindy's help was much needed. I would definitely hire Cindy again.

Genuine, Competitive Spirit, Thorough

Posted by

So glad I found Cindy! My case involved a lot of assets and I was an emotional wreck and went to see her thinking the absolute worst. She was honest and analytical and told me what my worst day in court would be. With all her expertise and perseverance she came through for me (we won). She never gave in and never gave up, keeping my wants and needs at the forefront. She is understanding and patient—I had so many questions and concerns and worries that I constantly emailed her and texted her-she always responded timely and she was so compassionate and understanding. She is extremely effective and has a very competitive spirit which is a great asset for an attorney. She is truly a gem. I am forever in debt to her for all that she has done for me, and she will always have my business in the future.

Calming and Reliable

Posted by

After 20 years of marriage and 3 beautiful children, I needed to file for divorce. Thank goodness I was referred to Cindy Rendon. While our property separation and custody were already agreed upon, there were legal issues on his side that kept putting a hiccup in the finalization of our divorce. Cindy navigated these issues without causing me to stress about anything. She kept up with the legal proceedings and kept me informed of what actions needed to be taken next. Cindy was able to finalize our divorce even with all the outside legal complications. I was able to walk away without having to deal with these outside legal issues anymore. I can't thank her enough for keeping me informed and calm throughout the whole process!

Exceeds Expectations

Posted by

I highly recommend Cindy for any divorce related matter. The knowledge, compassion and negotiating skills she brings to the table facilitates what can be a very overwhelming and emotional process. She has always been willing to help, listen, and advise me whenever an issue arose. She stays focused on the issues at hand and provides tremendous guidance to reach options that best fit the situation. I feel confident with Cindy by my side, and would definitely provide her contact information to anybody requesting an attorney.

Divorce simplified.

Thanks to Cindy this process was more simple than I had imagined. She was thorough, patient & able to explain all details in terms I could grasp & understand. She kept on top of where the proceedings where from start to finish & kept me updated at every turn. Absolutely fantastic & I would refer her to anyone going through a similar situation.

Brilliant and Personable Attorney

Posted by

I hired Ms. Rendon to help me with a complicated international divorce, with a child. Ms. Rendon, not only was brilliant, capable and tough, but extremely personable and caring as well. She truly cared for the situation I and my son were in, and ensured that a justice was served and errors made by the court were corrected. I highly recommend Ms. Rendon to anybody going through a difficult international or domestic divorce. She will handle it with professionalism, knowledge, integrity and most of all caring for those who need her expertise. Thank you, again, dear Ms. Rendon!

A true blessing to have met this attorney

Posted by

I hired Cynthia Rendon after she was referred to me for a business/insurance situation. She brought her skill, compassion, intelligence and integrity to a truly frustrating long standing situation which overwhelmed me by its sheer unfairness. Cynthia counseled me through the rough spots, listened when my emotions caused me to react, cautioned me when I needed it, and supported me in eventually securing a positive outcome. I would recommend her to anyone who needs someone who is intelligent about the legal facts and for those who absolutely need someone to walk them to the end goal. My admiration and thank you's many times over.

Melanie Rubinsky, Medical malpractice Attorney on Feb 25, 2013
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. Cynthia specializes in Business Litigation. I have known Cynthia for approximately 8-9 years and previously worked with her at the same law firm. I have always known Cynthia to be well versed in the law, extremely devoted to her clients, and one of the most intelligent lawyers I have had the pleasure of working with. Cynthia stays on top of current case law and statutory provisions in the fields of practice she concentrates in. She is a very dedicated attorney who practices with the utmost professionalism. I do not hesitate to refer clients to Cynthia who are in need of an attoreny who specializes in Business LItigation. Everyone I have referred to her has been extremely pleased with teh services she has provided. For these reasons, I wholeheartedly endorse Cynthia Rendon.

Teresa Peterson, Family Attorney on Feb 21, 2013
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I endorse this lawyer. It has been my privilege to have known Cynthia Rendon as an attorney since 2003. Over this time I have observed a creative, intelligent attorney who has empathy for all her clients. Her clients have ranged from corporate CEOs to individuals with grade school education, and she relates equally effectively with either group. Additionally, her knowledge of the law is in my opinion without parallel. In the few occasions where she doesn’t have an immediate knowledge of the law, she has the ability to research and find the answers more quickly than anyone I have ever known. I also have had the privilege of working with her as a partner for 2 years while in Houston. In fact, even though we are no longer partners, we frequently collaborate on matters as colleagues. I recommend her highly as an attorney who knows the law and uses it to act as a fierce advocate for her clients.
