She is also a wonderful collaborative attorney as I have worked with her in this areana as well. She really listens to clients and opposing counsel and tries to find practical solutions. I recommend and endorse her."

"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Cynthia on a couple of different collaborative law cases now, and she is a brilliant attorney. Not only does she offer her clients advocacy during a time of crisis, she does it in such a manner so as to uphold and maintain the client's integrity. In a collaborative team setting, Cynthia is a true team player - I could not ask for a more worthy and qualified attorney on the other side."

"I have known Cynthia First for three years. I have worked with her on several collaborative cases, an approach to family law that seeks better resolutions than can be provided to families in transition by the court system. Cynthia's mind and legal knowledge are first rate. Her organization is superior. But most important, Cynthia cares about people--her clients, the other party in disputes, her opposing counsel (which I have much appreciated). Everyone who completes law school and passes the Bar examination has a modicum of knowledge. Not everyone who passes the Bar examination is a good human being. Cynthia First is a good human being. You will be glad you employed her, if you need legal representation."
