Tenacious, Steady and Strong

Cinthia was assigned to me by my O&E provider when I was named in a suit resulting from a real estate transaction. She was thorough, tough and kept pressure on the other parties to achieve an acceptable outcome. It's important to have the best, most prepared and most respected counsel when you've b...een called out legally. Cinthia and the entire Frascona firm epitomize those qualities. She saw me through one of the most difficult experiences of my career and I am eternally grateful for her guidance.

Timely on a Saturday Legal Advice

Cinthia Maria Manzano provided exception and timely legal advice on a Saturday for my clients. I am a Realtor in Boulder, Co. Representing home buyers, we were in a competitive bidding war for a house. Scenario: multiple offers, all above list price. My clients are also Realtors (from out of sta...te) and we needed to ensure our transaction was above board and ethical. Cinthia provided excellent advice. I gave her 4 stars on knowledge - because she double checked an item with a senior partner in her office. And that EXTRA AAB - Above and Beyond - effort protected my clients very significant earnest money deposit. It directly assisted the buyers to win the bidding war with the BEST but NOT the Highest priced offer. And all of this during the middle of the afternoon on a Saturday. Cinthia Manzano is responsive, passionate about what she does and an all around great lawyer. I highly recommend her, have used her in the past. She is the FIRST and only person I think of when it comes to solid real estate legal advice in Colorado.

Cindy has consistently understood the big picture behind our requests and provided the exact help we need, e...ven beyond just our specific requests. She has taken time to get to know our firm and is pleasant and easy to work with. She seems to have extensive experience in our area. She has a solid grasp on dispute resolution and litigation and how to avoid them. Cindy's help has provided a level of confidence in our company's processes and contracts that has made business secure and enjoyable. We recommend her service without reservation.

  • 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.
