First off - I have never wrote a review... in my life... about anything. I had a pretty "sticky" ex that could not stop trying to take me to court for something new every time over the past few years. I was referred to Cynthia who swiftly finalized our matter within 5 months, after litigating ...with the other party for almost 3 years. Due to her expansive experience, she knew just how to put me at ease, and to shut down the other party and his big wig team of attorneys. I had lost hope in most lawyers after the first year of litigating this matter. Most family law attorneys, in my experience, take no pride in the overall outcome of a case and easily will risk the emotional and financial health of their client, the opposing party and the children involved. CYNTHIA is most certainly not most family law attorneys. She answered my questions remarkably fast (always same day) and picked up her phone every time (I got her voicemail once and she called back same day). Overall, I could not recommend her enough. Hands down, she is the queen of Family Law matters and I trust her experience and instincts involving personal/legal matters. Cynthia, thank you! I am grateful to have found you and appreciate all you do for your clients!

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. I am still dealing with a divorce and she just made more of a mess of it than it already was and sided with the other party i...nstead of listening to what I wanted. I am still cleaning up the mess that she left.

I met Cynthia at a time in my life when I had completely lost hope. My former husband had pulled a rash of legal maneuvers designed to destroy my psyche, my bank account and my relationship with my children - and it would have worked had Cynthia not stepped in, got precise and concise about what happ...ened previously, and quickly set to work making a case for competent parenting with results much quicker than I could have ever possibly expected based on my experience with "the system" up until that point. When she phoned my ex's attorney, she was told "That crazy b***h will never see her children again." And that's when I learned what an amazing person, attorney and advocate Cynthia is. In nearly three years of knowing her and utilizing her services for all manner of legal matters, she has never once failed to deliver solid, practical advice that has served me well, manage my expectations (often overdelivering on what was promised), keeping my bill reasonable by having me do easy legwork that would cost me more than I could have afforded, and advocate on behalf of myself and my children in a way that I could not have expected. She compassionate, but practical. She keeps me focused on the issue at hand, not allowing my abundant emotions to run off with my mind. She's kind but firm. Efficient, but takes the time required to get the job done. I've known a lot of domestic attorneys (it took me three years to find someone as compassionate and competent as Cynthia - and my very own mother is a domestic attorney in another state - sigh). I can't say enough good things about Cynthia. She saved my life, my heart and my sanity. She's simply THE BEST.

Cynthia had acted as my corporate attorney for several years, when in 2011 my wife and I ran into a problem with a contractor on an extensive house remodel. I initially called Cynthia to ask her assistance in terminating our contract with the contractor. As we dug into the situation, it became cl...ear the issues my wife and I had perceived extended far beyond that which would be solved by a simple contract termination. Working with Cynthia was easy and enjoyable considering the circumstances. We were quickly able to review our contract, timeline, and all written and verbal correspondence we had had with our contractor. In parallel, Cynthia quickly assembled a team of construction professionals to review remodel progress-to-date and to cross reference progress with time and materials billed. The result of the initial analysis confirmed significant issues related to both quality of construction and contract / construction law. It became clear the end-result of non-action would be bankruptcy for my wife and I and the loss of our home. Cynthia took immediate action by filing a lawsuit against our contractor and moving us through the process of discovery, depositions, and eventually to mediation. Cynthia was a pleasure to work with through the entire process. She was very empathetic and caring toward my wife and I considering the situation we were in with our two very young boys (a three year old and a new-born at the time). Throughout the process, Cynthia presented herself not only as our attorney, but also very much as a team-member, willingly accepting and enlisting my help in analysis of discovery material and in preparation for depositions and mediation. I had no previous experience with civil law, yet I felt engaged, prepared, and very aware of the legal process. In the end, I felt like I was able to significantly contribute to a successful outcome. The end result was that my wife and I were made entirely whole through the process. My family moved into a newly remodeled home within blocks of the house which was the subject of our lawsuit. Timing of the outcome could not have been more perfect as the new home we purchased was under construction when we went into escrow, allowing my wife the opportunity to engage in some of the design and selection of finishes. From my perspective, the civil system worked exactly as designed, and Cynthia made it very easy to understand and to navigate. Overall, I know Cynthia to be thorough, professional, trustworthy, responsive and tenacious; all the qualities you would want in an attorney. Her local knowledge and experience were invaluable in our case. Her communication with us and the team she assembled was excellent. She worked hard and provided professional yet personalized service that yielded incredible results. I highly recommend her.
