Cinda was a God send. She was there with helpful advice. She got more for me than expected. My ex was pushy, rude and just hateful. She found his lies, if it wasn't for her I wouldn't have made it through the divorce. I will recommend her to any woman who has been wronged.

I'm still getting nickel and dimed. Thought I was done with the divorce but I'm still getting bills for excessive copies and fax and communications from her to my ex atty dealing with issues that they should have known about but are charging me for their legal shortcomings in their profession. Price sounded good in the beginning but increased drastically. Go with a flat rate guy who charges 3k. period.
