Cynthia Barela Graham

In my divorce I made the mistake of picking a lawyer that would not FIGHT for me. A friend recommended Cindi as the best in our city. It has been the difference between night and day. I have NEVER met an attorney who was as motivated to FIGHT. Backing that up, she knows 1000% more about family la...w than any lawyer I've talked to. FINALLY, with Cindi's help, I'm seeing results. I highly recommend her and her staff if you need help!

CBG is very bright and confident, and upon our initial meetings I felt very encouraged with the work she would be helping me with. I have never had a long relationship with an atty, but learned a lot along the way. Read the contract carefully. Every phone call, txt, or email is billed to the .25... of an hour, so take that into consideration as you communicate with any atty you use. With that in mind I would not contact your atty, I would wait for face-to-face meetings, as the expense is the same. Cindy is very busy, she tries to be flexible, but if you work full time your time to meet with her is very limited and sometimes took two weeks to get an appointment. Cindi was also recommended by a friend who had not used her for legal work, but knew her outside of legal practice. I think as you choose an atty it would be more valuable to retain an atty that was recommended by someone who was very satisfied with the work that was done for them. I cannot comment on the work accomplished during the time I employed Cindi, I think it was pretty textbook, but I had hoped for more. If I did a value to cost comparison, it would be leaning more toward cost, and less toward value. She withdrew from my case for lack of payment.

Cindi represented me in getting parental rights and visitation with my daughter. She helped me through the process, which included mediation. She fought for me harder than I would fire myself. She did not let me give in to what the other attorney wanted fire his client. She and her staff realized how... important it was for me to have a relationship with my daughter. The cost of her services were well worth the outcome.

Cynthia was unprofessional in dealing with my case. After 9 months of work I am no better off then when I started. Correction, I am worst and 3k poorer. It's okay to lose but to have an attorney that didn't even fight for you is dumbfounding. PLEASE don't not use her you will regret it and be the ne...xt one writing a review. When speaking with her about my case she had no idea. I understand they are busy. She let the other attorney just take it to us in every aspect of the case. She took money money and asked for more but didn't represent me at all. Single father fighting for his kids now I am just busted.

She seems too preoccupied and too busy to be practicing law. It took me almost two years to get a divorce. Complete nonsense. Do not hire her. She is knowledgeable, but does not have enough time for her clients. So many mistakes. Because of the sloppy work, I am now needing to hire another lawyer to ...clarify something that was agreed upon in mediation.
