Quality Serivce, Friendly, and Dedicated Professional

Obtaining a lawyer can be a very scary time in one’s life. When these times occur, it good to have someone on your side. Barbara Cini is a lawyer who will stick by your side from start to finish. Even though she took my case under short notice, her advice, knowledge, and guidance was why my case ende...d successfully. Barbara provides a high level of quality service, she’s friendly, and a dedicated professional. The circumstances of my case was not idle. When Barbara took over my case, it had been in the system for over a decade, unbeknownst to me. From day one, she included me in every step and procedure that I would face throughout the litigation process. She was available via email, phone, and text, even after normal business hours. No matter how unorthodox my questions were Barbara would try to answer them. If she did not know the answer, she would work very hard to find one for me. Also, any documents that she received or any conversation we had with the court system, I was informed immediately. She would brief me extensively on the current state of the case and my options going forward. When the trial was schedule I had all faith in her as a quality attorney. My original court date was set prior to obtaining Barbara’s services, she still was prepared for the court appearance. The plaintiff was unable to attend the first court date, so Barbara took action and spoke with the court officials and had it changed. On the day of the trial, Barbara was courteous and on time. In addition, her services in the court room was second to none. Although she had never appeared in this particular court district, she seemed right at home. After conferring with the Plaintiff’s attorney, Barbara made no decision without talking with me privately. I felt like this matter would actually get resolved, even after all this time. Once the judge hit the gavel, I knew I had made the right decision in choosing Cordell & Cordell. Barbara Cini is worth every penny. She was a consummate professional, while still being friendly and open. She gave my case the time and attention it desired. She walked me through every step of the process. I know the outcome of this case would have been significantly different if she was not my attorney. I highly recommend her to anyone who need an expert attorney. I will also recommend her to my family and friends. Do yourself a favor, trust Barbara, she’s the lawyer you need. Thank you again, Barbara.

VERY PROFESSIONAL AND CARING

We hired Ms. Cini almost 2 years ago. She is extremely professional and has gone above and beyond for my husband and I. Ms. Cini continues to show her professionalism in how she presents herself and her vast knowledge of the law. I am most impressed with her genuine caring nature, being a very diffic...ult time, our family has needed that in dealing with this legal issue. She puts business in a whole new light and is a wonderful addition to the Dummit Law Firm. I am very pleased with how she communicates and how well she able to explain the details of our case. I would strongly recommend Ms. Cini for representation on any legal issue as I believe her bold approach is what is needed in this line of business. Although we are still in the court process, I have full faith in her approach with our case.

Barbara was great for our needs

She did well for us on a case which presented a lot of non-traditional issues and last minute changes/developments. Our case was transferred to another county, so unfortunately we were unable to use her services through to the end. However, she did everything she could to make the transition to our... next attorney easier and continued to help us even though she was no longer billing us for her time. If we have any other legal issues in Forsyth County, I wouldn't hesitate to use Barbara.

Solid Legal Representation

Barbara Cini is an exceedingly professional attorney who was expert in her legal analysis and caring and personable in her client relationship. From my initial contact with the Dummit Law Firm, the staff and Ms. Cini followed through w ith everything they said they would, communicated in a timely fas...hion and answered any and all of my questions. During an obviously difficult time, Ms. Cini provided a solid and steady representation, and negotiated on my behalf with confidence and firm legal standing. She has a great understanding of previous case law, and her manner allows her to be frank and cooperative with the attorney on the other side of the case.
