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 clients 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 not 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.

Very patient and honest
My friends and I agreed that Cynthia not only a good lawyer but a great one.
I was very emotional at the time and I keep changing my decisions. At one point I was ready to give up. But Cynthia gave me a sound advice about finances and treated me like her sister. I highly recommend her and I thank her and her staff for being patient with me.
