Great results, professional and personable!

Cynthia helped me with a collections problem in my small service business. For over a year I had no success collecting payments. Within a week of involving Cynthia, the first payment arrived. I couldn't be more satisfied.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
