Efficient and friendly

Cynthia helped us on very short notice and got the job done very much to our satisfaction. She and her office are professional and friendly and I would only use her for my family needs. She knows the law and has great experience.

Skilled, competent, efficient

I have known Cynthia for six years. I moved my firm into the same office building in 2010 and observed the operations of her staff. In 2011, I retained her to represent my interests in a divorce. She did an excellent job dealing with a very difficult opposing counsel and party. She serves her cli...ents well.

Divorce Attorney

I hired Cynthia for my divorce. She helped me sort through the issues so I can choose my battles instead of fighting on all the issues, which would make it a very expensive war. Emotions make it hard to see everything clearly so it was important that the lawyer can show you outside of yourself.

Retain this attorney

I retained Ms. Cho for the creation of my Living Trust. She was always available to answer my questions and explain the parts of my trust I didn't understand so I would be assured that my wishes would be followed once I needed my trust, my will, and my Advance health care directive. Although I am n...ot married, I hope I will never need to retain her for a divorce, but I do intend to use her for my prenup if I ever do get married.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
