Cynthia Renz First

I’m a criminal defense lawyer with 45 years of experience, so when it came to my own difficult, complicated divorce, I knew I needed the best lawyer possible. My first lawyer was, at best, mediocre. Then, during a court zoom hearing a couple of months into my divorce, I watched and listened to Cynt...hia First representing another petitioner. It took me five minutes to make the decision to see if she would represent me. I know lawyers and the quality of what they do, having worked with or opposite as many as 400 of them. There are three at the top of the list, lawyers who are brilliant, caring, dedicated. Ms First is one of those three. She’s super smart and knowledgeable not only about the law but also about people and situations. Her skills in representation go beyond that: She cares about her clients. My emails were answered immediately, even during off hours. Superlative representation. Class act. Terrific person, terrific lawyer.

From my initial consultation I could tell that I was in good hands. Ms. First is clear, direct, approachable, a great listener, and efficient. Beyond that Ms. First is highly effective and GETS THE JOB DONE! This includes how she managed me, as I was clearly and emotional wreck and extremely stre...ssed throughout the divorce process but more importantly, it was how she took charge and managed the mediation and closing procedures. What I had expected to be as one of the most painful days turned out to be quite tolerable if not almost pleasant. Overall I was quite pleased with how justice prevailed for BOTH parties. Typically divorce is a lose lose for all parties and I would not wish it on anyone but at times in the end it is a necessary event for both partners to move on so they can continue growing, and eventually heal. Ms. First's decades of experience, professionalism, and insightfulness affords clients the opportunity for these processes to begin almost immediately. I found that her fees were indeed fair but I found what I got for those funds was well worth the investment. This was for an uncontested divorce, no children, one party asking for the moon and the other initially shaking in their boots but finishing feeling like there was a great weight lifted. Thank you again, Ms. First. I hope I never need your services again but should that need arise you will absolutely be the first lawyer I call or refer. Sincerely, Very Grateful and Satisfied Client

Cynthia is a seasoned family lawyer. Her wealth of experience proved invaluable to our case. We had a difficult divorce. Cynthia even monitored our case while she was on.vacation, including actively communicating with opposing counsel on.multiple occasions. She was fully.engaged on.our behalf... over a 16-month period, offering well thought out options on how to proceed. I can't think.of anything more Cynthia could have done to better represent us, and recommend her without hesitation.

Cynthia works hard to support you through the extremely hard and emotional process of divorce. She has a good balance of being supportive, emotionally connected to you and your case while being direct and fighting for you. I had another attorney for the first part of my divorce and didn't feel like I... was heard. Cynthia really listens to what you care about you while at the same time giving you great legal advice. I highly recommend her.
