Great attorney

I was lucky enough to have Cynthia represent me in a court proceeding. She explained the legal process and walked me thru the legal steps so I understood what was going on at all times. Very knowledgeable, great personality, go getter. I recommend her highly when you need the services of an attorn...ey.

Criminal Defense

I had an unfortunate scenario where I was being charged with a crime. It was my first time ever even being in court and Cynthia was extremely patient, and kind throughout the process, explained every step and detail to me, and made sure to negotiate the best terms on my behalf. She was extremely symp...athetic and gracious through the entire process and I know I would never have gotten the outcome I did without her expertise and wisdom on the manner. She also has a great relationship with the prosecutors and judges.

Criminal Defence

Cynthia Waldt really came through for me in my criminal defense case. She was able to negotiate a deal with the prosecutor that was far better than I thought I could get! She's also easy to contact and an approachable person whom I felt very comfortable with. I highly recommend!

Review of Cynthia Waldt as criminal defense attorney

Cynthia Waldt is my go-to person when I have a client who needs help in a criminal defense matter. I am an attorney practicing family law so I do not practice in the area of criminal defense. However, often my family law clients need help with a criminal defense matter. I always refer them to Cind...y first. And every client, without exception, has come back to me with high praise for Cindy's skill, her ability to get good results, her prices, and her compassion for the client. In addition, I have had family and friends who needed advice regarding a criminal matter. I can always count on Cindy to give me sound advice and guidance regarding the matter. I highly recommend Cindy as a criminal defense attorney. She is the best in the business, in my opinion.

Contract Mediation

A remodeling contractor was hired. They did not do the work required. They claimed communication was our fault. Work never started. Would not return the deposit money. With Cynthia's help all money returned, with the exception of a 10% cancellation fee. This was the best possible outcome. She helped ...make it happen.

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.
