I felt well cared for

I worked with Cynthia Lee for two trust adjustments over the years. She is very detailed and thoughtful in her trust design advice laying out lots of possibilities that needed to be considered, beyond what my simple ideas were. She made sure what my wishes were truly conveyed in my trust. Dav...id her front desk staff was polite, professional, and helped me save money by fact checking some details needed in my case. They were courteous and respected my time. I feel well cared for by this team.

Repeat client

Cynthia and her team helped my husband and me set up our wills to protect our kids and our assets a few years ago. She just helped me revised my plan as we had another child. She was awesome to work with - can't recommend her enough! She accepted my legal insurance with no problems.

Setting the record straight

I am an ARAG member and Cynthia is a network attorney. I first met with Cynthia in 2005 when my wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer and she helped us revised our trust. Then, I worked with her to administer the trust a few years later. Later in 2015, I amended the trust again when I got remar...ried and my kids grew up. Lastly, I administered my parents trust with her. Every single time, I am touched by how much she care about my family and the professional advice and strategy she was able to give me. She is fair and up front in explaining what was covered by ARAG and what I have to pay out of pocket. Over the years, I have referred my siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles and friends to her and they were all thrilled with her services. Furthermore, their firm do not offer maintenance plans.

Initial consult

Not interested in our business because we belong to Metlife legal plans program - too much work for too little money!! Had a condescending attitude right off the bat - had no interest in understanding what we were trying to accomplish - assumed we were trying to do something illegitimate - talked o...ver me - gave us completely wrong info re: IRS and SEC requirements - then backpedalled - had us barking up the wrong tree What a waste of time - Metlife can and should do better - find yourself a real lawyer!!

Honest Lawyer

Cynthia Lee has her client's best interests at heart. She has handled various legal issues for my parents over the years and other relative's legal and estate / trust documents as well. She has taken care of things for my family in a very ethical and professional manner. Even in the most urgent of si...tuations he has come through and charges a very fair rate, never taking advantage. She is very ethical and a true professional that my family members have been able to trust and rely on for many years. (It's probably not often one can say this about a lawyer ;) I would definitely recommend him to friends and family.
