About:

For over 25 years I have focused my practice in family law, with a particular emphasis on matters relating to the dissolution of marriage: divorce representation and mediation, child custody and child support. I am a native St. Louisan and a graduate of the Washington University School of Law, Class of '73. I am a divorce lawyer who has been where you are now and I understand the pain, stress and uncertainty you are experiencing. Several years ago I went through a difficult and contentious divorce and child custody battle with my ex-husband, and I have traveled this same path with clients hundreds of times. These experiences have led me to reshape my approach to the practice of divorce law, which I call The ConstructiveDivorce®. The intended result is that my clients are able to move onto the next stage of their lives feeling whole, with their financial and emotional resources intact, and their family relationships preserved. So, whether you are just starting to think about the possibility of ending your marriage, have already decided to seek a divorce (or your spouse has made that decision), or you want to revisit issues from a prior divorce, such as child custody or child support, please don't hesitate to contact me, by telephone or email, to set up an appointment so that we can discuss your situation in person.

"Cynthia was a mediator between my ex-husband and I when we divorced. This was a simple divorce, and amicable as far as these things go. Both my ex-husband and I found her to be not very competent. I went into exhaustive detail during the financial discovery, which was expected because doing the work yourself is one of the ways you save money. However, she didn't seem to be able to understand the financial overview document, annotated with the number, and then the attachment showing proof of where the info came from, which had the same number. She also didn't seem to be very proficient in using computers. I had to instruct her on how to use certain programs. She didn't give me a discount for that. When we finally got before the judge, they were taken aback by her sloppy work. She actually listed our pet in the list of assets, with a value of "priceless". In the end, after spending several thousand dollars, we fired her and finished the divorce using the Court's own pro se people. While I would not recommend going pro se with the court in something as important as a divorce, I would also not recommend using Cynthia for your divorce. She was either "phoning it in" or, worse, that was actually the best she can do."

"Not many people 'like' attorneys. To be fair, it's usually based on the need of one & not the attorney. However, there are the attorneys that take advantage of people in need. Just like many people, you have the good & not so good. There are many attorneys to consider in those times. And there are some you need to run from. I doubt seriously Cynthia recalls my case. But if she were to be honest about some matters, she might give herself 1 star as well. I wish you well & I hope your integrity isn't what is used to be."
