Posted by anonymous | November 07, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Will go to the mat for her clients

I hired Cynthia Herber through her firm for assistance with handling the division of property between myself and my former partner when I had a no-contact order of protection in place against my former partner. She was great at helping me to secure the order of protection in the first place, as well..., gathering a ton of evidence and building and airtight case. We were awarded the no-contact order of protection for four years under Cynthia's diligence. Cynthia was the intermediary and handled all of my ex partner's communications for me. She assisted in negotiating a settlement in order to secure a quit claim deed in my favor for the joint property my ex partner and I owned.

Immigration lawyer | Jul 17

Relationship: Other

"I interacted with Atty Cynthia Herbert, during a somewhat impromptu speakerphone teleconsultation involving and concerning a person, with limited English speaking capability, who was referred to me by a prior client for help with a criminal case (and, as I had learned upon meeting with him earlier, an immigration matter). During the teleconsultation, I was very impressed with Atty Herber's nuanced understanding of immigration law, familiarity with when and how it can intersect with Wisconsin criminal law, obvious Spanish/English fluency, ability to quickly and coolly analyze relevant background information, and willingness to formulate and commit to a reasoned course of immediate practical action, all under time pressure."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
