Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.I hired Cindy, after being unhappy with more than one previous attorney. What I really liked and appreciated was the fact that Cindy was always on my side, through some very difficult divorce, custody and support proceedings. She was very compassionate to my circumstances and reassuring through her impressive knowledge of not only the law, but of the local legal surroundings as well. She continues to assist to this day and remains extremely professional and responsive to ongoing issues and needs
I had the fortune of working with Cindy Bernstein several years ago for divorce and custody issues. To say that my case was a difficult one, is a true understatement. Through it all, Cindy approached every situation with the utmost professionalism and ethical fortitude. She was a true beacon of hope for me and my daughter. She always focused on my daughter's best interest, her safety, and her overall well being. Today my daughter is a vibrant, happy, well-adjusted young lady, all of which would not have been possible without the hard-work, dedication, and compassion of Cindy. It is without hesitation, that I recommend Cindy Bernstein!
I highly recommend Cindy Bernstein as an Excellent attorney to represent anyone in dealing with the difficult legal issues of their Divorce. During my high conflict divorce, I called Ms. Bernstein numerous times to help with every kind of legal issue and any other challenges that can be imagined and she was outstanding in resolving them. She was absolutely the Best when it came to helping me with Child Custody. I have told family, friends, and co-workers about her vast knowledge as an attorney.
A friend of mine was going through a difficult divorce and was dissatisfied with his attorney. I recommended he schedule an appointment with Cindy Bernstein. After one meeting he was very impressed with Cindy and hired her to handle his divorce and custody case. The final agreement reached in the case was very much to his satisfaction. He said he'd highly recommend Cindy to others in need of a very competent family law attorney.
I hired Cindy Bernstein for my divorce and custody case after our initial consultation. Her ability to quickly grasp the background information related to my case was very impressive. While working with her I realized that, in addition to her abundant legal competence, she is also a caring and compassionate attorney. Cindy fought for my legal rights as a father and negotiated a very fair and equitable divorce and custody arrangement. I would highly recommend Cindy Bernstein.
I am very thankful I hired Cindy Bernstein as my family law attorney and can only speak of her in superlatives! My situation was complicated. I had an ownership interest in a professional corporation and, more importantly, I was very involved in the lives of my young children. Ms. Bernstein's analytical skills and practical approach helped neutralize the other side and favorably resolve my case. She is easy to speak with on any issue and very responsive whenever I needed guidance.
She is very compassionate and caring as well as very knowledgeable and aggressive.
