About Cynthia
Biography
I practice exclusively in the area of immigration law and I am the head of the Immigration Department at Hanis Irvine Prothero, PLLC. I am also a founding partner of my law firm. My immigration practice assists individuals with family reunification and citizenship matters and supports the business immigration needs of local, national, and international corporations and non-profit organizations. I regularly defends the rights of immigrants and their families and frequently handles complex immigration cases in areas of deportation defense, waiver applications, administrative and federal court appeals, and consular processing matters.
I am married and have two beautiful daughters and an aging cocker spaniel. I enjoy playing tennis and soccer and spending time with my family.

Cynthia A. Irvine's Lawyer Endorsements
"Cynthia is the only attorney I refer immigration clients to and for good reason. She's the top immigration attorney I know."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer, and I refer people with immigration issues with confidence. Cynthia is superb."
"I endorse this lawyer's work."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. She is committed to representing those with immigration needs and works hard for the benefit of her clients."
"I have worked with Cynthia since May of 2004. In my view, she's got the right idea: work hard to help her clients get the best results possible. Immigration law is complex and a very specific expertise is necessary. Cynthia clearly has that expertise. She has been able to educate me with regards to immigration consequences in other areas of the law. We frequently work together to help our clients through the courts and legal system. Another great feature of Cynthia is that she will be honest with you. Sometimes it can be very hard to tell clients (or law partners) things they don't want to hear but it's absolutely necessary. That's how Cynthia provides excellent legal advice and counsel. But even when chances may be slim, Cynthia is very knowledgeable and creative. She's been able to find very good resolutions for her clients against great odds. Hard working. Intelligent. Honest. Creative. An excellent attorney."
