Best lawyer ever!!

Cynthia Berman helped me so much. She is and was my lawyer. She helped me with my ex. She achieved what I thought to be impossible. She was very clear and specific and I respect her so much. I would recommend her to anyone.

Thank you Cynthia!!!!!!

Looking for a family lawyer was not fun. My fiancé was not happy with so many of them. But Cynthia was highly recommended by another attorney who was very busy, so we decided to call her. It was the right call. This is one woman who does not let the grass grow under her feet. She was on top of everyt...hing, with daily calls to us, spelling out every single thing we needed to do to get our custody papers and her assistant Pamela was the best too. Between the two of them, we both felt like we were ahead of it all and could not feel like we were in better hands. I cannot wait to refer her in the future as we could not feel any better with our decision to hire her. Today, about an hour ago, we got our custody papers signed by the judge from Cynthia and it is celebration night for us! Cynthia told us she would get us what we so wished for... and we got it all! We cannot thank you enough for so much hard work and your incredible tenacity. You delivered on what you promised and we love that! thank you for every single thing! S & H

Highly recommended. Responsive, knowledgable,organized.

Cynthia Berman represented me in issues of separation, divorce, custody, child and spousal support. My case was a difficult, and she handled all with honesty, integrity, superior knowledge, and preparedness. She kept me informed on all issues. My ex retained a series of five different attorneys, ...affording me the opportunity to see that Cynthia was able to work smoothly with each of them. She is the consummate professional at all times. At trial she is prepared, confidant, and can handle any situation that arises. In addition to her trial skills, she is a first rate and willing negotiator, when the opportunity presents itself, and always works to achieve a fair settlement for her client. She is a rare gem in the family law world, who cares deeply for families and their children's welfare. In my case, post divorce issues were handled by her with equal skill, care, and attention to detail. I am pleased to have the opportunity to provide my review of Cynthia Berman. I hope it provides sound guidance to others searching for a great family law attorney to represent them. Put your case in her hands, you will be happy with your decision

  • 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.
