Cindy M Wysocki

I engaged with Cindy after receiving notice of a restraining order and court hearing for same from my ex-wife and co-parent. I was angry about this and other treatment I had received from my ex and it wasn’t helping my case at all. Cindy helped me understand how to more effectively direct my energy t...o get out from under all of this business and back to a functional parenting plan. If I had tried to represent myself, which is how I started, I would have failed miserably. Cindy lowered the temperature, got both sides talking, and moved us to resolution - exactly what I needed.

From the first conversation at the height of my distress, through a domestic violence protection order and ultimately divorce finalization, Cindy provided wise counsel, guidance and encouragement. Not only was Cindy’s expertise critical for success in court, she simplified the legal process in a way ...that allowed me to overcome my fears, make clear decisions and walk out of some of my darkest days into a hopeful future. I am grateful to Cindy’s impeccable professionalism and understanding of the law, she became my greatest ally and voice of reason for moving forward with grace through overwhelming conflict. She prepared a direction that lead this seemingly unrepairable situation to a peaceful settlement. Instead of propagating distrust and anger, I left feeling grounded, resolved, and fully capable of picking up my life and starting fresh.

After my ex got a restraining order against me deliberately timed to ruin my vacation with my son, I found attorney Cindy Wysocki. Immediately upon meeting Cindy, I felt comforted. She had a sympathetic and compassionate ear and truly listened to me. My ex is very deviant and takes low road tact...ics. Even when I wanted to take a low road tactic to beat my ex at her own game, Cindy refused. If you want a bulldog who attacks people for no reason, she’s not the lawyer for you. Cindy is honest, clear, and direct. She has a great sense of humor. Under the most hostile circumstances, she always held her ground, stayed present, and maintained her dignity. Cindy researches thoroughly, knows the law and argues convincingly. She is a commanding writer and very effective in court. She maintains great working relationships with mediators, GALs and others in the legal community and leverages those relationships to benefit her clients. Considering the quality of her work, Cindy was extraordinarily fair in billing. She took really good care of me and my future. Thanks to Cindy, my ex is no longer a threat. I worked with Cindy for three years. She consistently achieved successful outcomes inside and outside of court. Prior to that, I worked with a lawyer who made me feel like the bad guy. She belittled me, made me second guess myself, and made me feel that I had to give up more than I should have. She billed aggressively and I was never convinced she was actually on my side. I thought the legal system didn’t work. Turns out my lawyer didn’t know how to work it. Now, every day is better for me because of the work Cindy did. I’m very thankful Cindy accepted me as her client.

I had almost given up on legal representation after bad experiences with a large, well known family law firm as well as with an independent attorney. Then I was referred to Cindy. I was in Seattle and she was in Tacoma but the distance wasn't an issue at all; she was great to work with and very ef...fective. Cindy quickly got up to speed on our complicated, contentious child custody case, complete with DV accusations. I found her to be sharp, caring, and an excellent communicator with a solid mix of compassion, expertise, and ethics. She has an incredible ability to very quickly get to the heart of the matter. She was a trusted guide outside the courtroom during the most challenging time of my life and extremely good at representing inside the courtroom. When the judge steered both lawyers a different direction, Cindy was quick on her feet and able to adapt her response. I appreciated that she stayed calm and reasonable even when my ex's attorney was not. Somehow, she made an incredibly hard situation as manageable and empowering as possible. I am incredibly grateful for Cindy's help during a most challenging time in my life. My my son's life and my own are so much better as a result of Cindy. My only wish is that I had found her at the very beginning of this journey in family law. I highly, highly recommend her!
