Do NOT hire Cynthia Ribas !

Ms. Ribas is not a good or ethical lawyer. She mostly only talked about being paid and not the strategy of the case. Her invoices are really messy with paragraphs of unrelated tasks combined with a total number of hours instead line items of each task and how long the task took to complete. She doub...led billed us for an entire month and when we asked her to correct it so it didn’t look like we owed her more than we actually did, she became angry with us . Every time we questioned anything about the case, strategy or the law, she became angry. She writes long repetitive emails repeating the exact same information over and over again. She charged us for all of these email too. When it came time to have depositions, we told her that one person would be best to get him on the stand and not bother deposing him. She didn’t listen to us and she got nothing from the deposition just like we had warned her. She just wanted to run up our bill. In another deposition, she failed to subpoena the witness and then couldn’t ask him any questions during the deposition. We had to pay for that major mistake too. She doesn’t seem to event know the simple process of a deposition must less complicated law. Do not hire this lawyer unless you want to be sure to lose your case.

Expert Excellence!

Ms. Ribas is an extremely experienced, studied and expert in her craft as an attorney. She helped me during one of the most difficult times of my life with such care, knowledge, dedication and exceptional wisdom. Ms. Ribas wrote declarations and represented me at hearings. She is a truly gifted and t...alented writer and pays keen attention to detail. I was accurately and completely represented by her and I felt deeply heard. All of my hearings resulted in positive outcomes for me under her representation. Her dedication and commitment to fairness, justice and her moral oath to uphold the Law are unparalleled. I couldn't have been in better hands with Ms. Cynthia Ribas.

Mismanagement of case

I went to Ms.Ribas to assist with a landlord tenant issue she always made conversations long, did unnecessary research and her emails were too lengthy. I requested on several occasions for her to shorten her responses however that never happened. I was charged $5,000 and received nothing in return.... Her invoicing is non specific and when I requested itemized breakdowns my requests were ignored. She became extremely emotional at various times, I as the client was emotional I felt it was the job of the attorney to reassure me the client not be emotional along with me. Be cautious when working with her and definitely demand itemized billing.

We're sorry you had a bad experience with our firm. This matter does not sound familiar as we have not charged $5,000 for any LL/T matter, and in the most recent LL/T case we handled (total properly itemized billings just over $4K ) the client not only side-stepped an Unlawful Detainer action, the family also received over a month's additional time to find a new home, free rent for a month and a half, and the security deposit returned. We strive for the utmost client satisfaction in every case. Please contact me directly to discuss your specific concerns."
