Testimonials

  • I highly recommend Cynthia services not only as an expert in family law but also as a good listener and informed adviser. In a very short time, after losing time and money with another attorney I finally got my case solved by an agreement with very good terms for me and my girls.
    Maria
  • "After spending tens of thousands and getting nowhere, Cindy turned it all around for me, my daughter and our family. I cannot begin to express my gratitude, even on those days she has to tell me what I don't want to hear. However, when the law is on your side, there is no stronger or ethical advocate. Bottom line - Cindy really cares. "
