Terrible
Absolutely awful. Do not hire under any circumstance. Cares more about her personal score card than your case.

Replied last August 27, 2025We strive to give clients clear and honest advice so they can make informed decisions. In this case, while represented, the individual chose to file a motion on their own that we had specifically advised against because it would harm their case. Unfortunately, that independent action led directly to the unfavorable outcome just as warned. We understand the disappointment, but it is important to recognize that following legal advice is critical to achieving the best possible result.

not so great
Cynthia was not such a great lawyer, she is not very good with having sympathy for her clients and is very rude when it comes to her clients having questions about their case.

Cynthia Kay McNeff's Lawyer Endorsements
"I practice exclusively in the area of immigration law, and when my clients need assistance with a family law matter I do not hesitate to refer them to Cynthia. From what I have seen she works diligently to help her clients get the best results and for a reasonable fee. I have seen other lawyers waste client's money by creating conflict with the opposing side and therefore generate more work for themselves. My experience with Cynthia is that she is pragmatic and works for results and not to generate more fees for herself. I know my clients appreciate her straightforward approach. I highly recommend Cynthia."

Experience
Professional misconduct
This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2004.
Suspension issued in HI, 2004
updated on 07/18/2016This sanction means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.
Cynthia’s comment:
“The incident happened in 2000, not 2003. This was reciprocal to the Oregon suspension. It was not another event, I was suspended in Hawaii because I was suspended in Oregon.”
Suspension - Disciplinary issued in OR, 2003
updated on 07/18/2016This sanction means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.
Cynthia’s comment:
“The incident happened in 2000, not 2004. It was my first case I litigated and I made a mistake. No client or person was harmed or disadvantaged because of this. I stipulated because my attorney at the time told me that because I was a woman and in my own firm that the Bar would not be lenient.”
