Thoughtful, prudent, and clear advice
I hired Spence Legal Services to assist me with a my role as temporary conservator and a contested guardian/conservator hearing for my grandmother. Cindi specifically assisted with giving advice on several occasions regarding my responsibilities, corresponding with other counsel, and negotiating difficult situations, especially during the time immediately before and after my grandmother's passing. Additionally, Cindi was exceptionally prompt, which was very much appreciated. I would highly recommend Spence Legal Services.

Cindi Spence
Navigating a divorce can be frustrating on many fronts. Cindi was patient, and professional, and extremely helpful in explaining the whole thing to me. She was my attorney and I never doubted her loyalty, but I also appreciated the fact that she was never combative or overly confrontational with my ex or her attorney. It helped keep the process civil and productive and both sides came out of it feeling like we have a future.

Amazing. Efficient. Kind.
I needed guardianship for my mother who had rapidly advancing demetia. Cindi guided me through the process and made it as painless as possible. Cindi helped me with the sale of my mother's home and the court related forms and permissions involved, as well as performing the required annual financial reporting to the court. Cindi knows what she's doing. Follow her instructions and you'll have no trouble getting through a very tough time. Cindi also related to me with a kind and professional "bedside manner" not often found with attorneys. Her sensitivity made it easier for me.

Cynthis Spence
She helped me a great deal in getting out of a Guardianship that was not working well with the client I had. Also she was a really great help in my getting paid for my services. I could not have done any of the work on my own.
Response from Cynthia Spence April 11, 2018
Guardianships can be challenging and emotional. I'm happy that we were able to resolve this situation to your satisfaction.

Outstanding Attorney
Ms. Spence served an important role as a Court-Appointed Attorney for a minor child in a highly litigated case. She was steadfast in her duties and advocacy of the child. The Court praised her services. As a litigator, she is one of the best.
Response from Cynthia Spence April 11, 2018
Thank you, Amanda!

She anticipated every potential problem and was 110% prepared.
Cyndi was so wonderful in getting us through a guardianship for our son. We had some potential roadblocks that Cyndi handled quickly and was prepared for anything that could have happened. I strongly recommend anyone that is looking for an attorney: Contact Cyndi. We are so happy that she was our attorney.
Response from Cynthia Spence April 11, 2018
Thank you Peggy. It was my pleasure to help you with the guardianship issues surrounding your son's case.

Absolutely Amazing
Cindi was amazing from start to finish. I interviewed a couple lawyers prior to my first ever use of one. She was professional, yet personable through my toughest times. She was able to guide me through the whole process with knowledge and understanding. I would recommend her to everyone and anyone. I cannot imagine not having her on my side! Many thanks to her from myself and my youngest child!

a good choice for a divorce attorney
Cindi fully explanied the papers i received from my ex-wife's lawyer and what she would need from me to proceed. Cindi told me what kinds of supporting documents and records she would need to represent me. Her advice and responding quickly to my questions kept my stress level very low.

Keeping the process smooth and amicable
I'm very grateful for the help and expertise of Cynthia. I was very worried about how my divorce would progress, hearing all the horror stories and being intimidated by the legal language behind them. If I had approached it on my own things probably would have gotten contentious fast. Cindi told me a lot of things I didn't want to hear, but in the end I have to admit she was right and those were things I needed to hear. My wife and I were able to process everything amicably and our divorce was completed in less than two months--this greatly reduced stress on our young child.

Professional and Compassionate Lawyer
Ms. Spence represented me in a guardianship case for my son. I was thoroughly impressed by her level of professionalism that she maintained while also being compassionate at the same time. She is very thorough and very effective as an attorney. She has been excellent in maintaining constant communication with me and keeping me updated on my case. She is honest and straightforward with her advice, and her experience and knowledge of guardianship matters is clearly evident. I appreciate her level of professionalism and highly recommend her.

Review Cynthia Anne Spence
Ms. Spence was my attorney. She represented me in the attempt to remove a family member that was my mother's guardian. We were successful. The court reversed its original decision and appointed an outside independent guardian. Ms. Spence demonstrated the highest level of competence preparing the case, kept me involved in the process from start to finish, and her court room presence was outstanding. Her presentation was on point, no non sense, and flawless. I would, without reservation, recommend Ms. Spence.

Great laywer I would highly recommend
Cindi and her staff were wonderful to work with! They are all very competent, timely with their responses, and kind. I never felt intimidated talking to anyone in their office and they were always very approachable. Cindi took the stress out of the situation and gave us peace-of-mind during the process. I was nervous when calling around to find a lawyer to help with my handicap sister's guardianship case because I do not know the legal system well. A few lawyers/law offices I talked to were very short on the phone and intimidating to talk to. Cindi never made me feel like that when talking to her. She listens to what you are saying and never makes you feel dumb or inadequate for not understanding the legal system, what the process is or what is required. I would highly recommend Cindi and her team to anyone and would definitely use them again if I had to do everything over.

My Divorce
Cindi made teh legal process of my divorce undersandable and easy to move through- She ALWAYS got back to me the same day I would contact her with any questions or need for action. Cindi really pays attention to detail and shows she cares about the case.
Response from Cynthia Spence April 11, 2018
Thank you Rusty! I do try to get back to clients promptly, as I know how stressful legal situations are and being kept waiting only compounds the stress.
