About

I have been practicing entirely family law for over 26 years. Family law became my focus early on just because there were a lot of people who came to my office with those kind of matters. I learned that I liked this area law because I was not afraid of the emotions that go along with it. As a business owner, a mother and a wife, I understand the things parents have to juggle on a daily basis. Adding a legal proceeding to the mix can feel overwhelming. The most important thing I can do for my clients is to protect their interests in a legal proceeding so they can continue to focus on their children and their jobs.I litigate divorce cases from the simple to the complex. I have handled countless motions hearings and trials all over the metro area. Determining income and cash-flow, tax consequences and valuing of real estate, personal property and businesses are a regular part of my practice. Child custody and parenting time disputes can be ongoing. I represent many new and returning clients in modifying parenting time and child support. I partner with CPAs, therapists and other professionals to get the best results for my clients.I have active licenses in Minnesota and Colorado. Our two offices allow me to handle a steady stream of interstate divorce and family cases.I received my bachelor’s degree from UCLA and my law degree from Hamline University School of Law (now Mitchell-Hamline School of Law). I was a law clerk in the 3rd judicial district in Minnesota for a year right after law school. After my clerkship, I was an associate for small and medium law firms in Minnesota and California. I completed advanced training in Family Law Trial Advocacy through (NITA) and I have 40 hours of training in family law mediation.I like to volunteer. You can find me at the military veterans legal clinic and domestic relations self-help clinics around the metro area. I am a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) helping kids in the foster care system. My husband and I are former foster parents.I am a member of:• Minnesota Bar Association -family law section• Colorado Bar Associations-family law section• W.O.L.F. (Women Owned Law Firms) a fantastic group of lawyers in Colorado• Board of Directors of ChannelMom-a Christian nonprofit dedicated to encouraging moms coming out of prison and homelessness.

Cindy is outstanding! She is very professional, fast at responding and is always clear with guidance. Cindy is extremely knowledgeable in her work and she resolved my issue so quick. Her care and determination gave me hope again and there were absolutely no doubts in the process. I would definitely recommend her to others!

Cindy helped me with my divorce this past year and helped prevent me from being railroaded by my ex' lawyer. Dedicated and intelligent all the way down to the details. 10/10 recommend.

Cindy was fantastic throughout the divorce proceedings. She understands the stress that these things can cause and worked diligently to get a resolution in a timely manner. She is a deal maker is is not in it to stretch things out for more fees. I would recommend her to anyone looking for fair, quality representation.

Cindy represented me in my divorce. I was not the best client as I was angry and headstrong. Cindy was thorough and no nonsense the entire time. I received a great outcome due to Cindy's efforts. She is definitely trustworthy and fair.

Cindy did a fabulous job handling my case. It was pretty straight forward, not a lot of complex issues. When there were a couple of issues that had to be updated, prior to resolution, she provided all the necessary legal support and information. The process took a little longer than originally anticipated, but she counseled me every step of the way.

Cindy Perusse was the perfect person to work with during one of the most challenging times of my life. I knew from the moment I started working with her that I would not need to worry about being taken advantage of by my ex-husband and his lawyer. Cindy's clear and direct communication style is powerful and effective. Her interactions with my ex-husband's lawyer were professional, yet I always knew she was my biggest advocate. She will not put up with nonsense and knows how and when to turn the pressure up to get things resolved. Cindy helped alleviate the immense amounts of stress and fear I felt while facing such uncertain times. She gets the job done while demonstrating empathy and compassion for her clients. Cindy was my rock when I felt like most areas of my life were falling apart. I couldn't have been happier with how things turned out.

This is in regard to Ms. Cindy Perusse. I am a disabled veteran and seeked her out for her divorce court knowledge as well as military laws pertaining to civilian divorce courts. She helped me out immensely. She worked with myself and my ex to ensure a smooth custody change. I highly recommend her to all divorcees, but primarily to disabled military divorcees...

After 18 plus years of marriage, going through a divorce was tough. Cindy Perusse worked hard to protect my interests while continually advocating for my children and my future. Perusse remained committed to my case, was accessible and understanding during the entire process. Perusse made sure to include me in all decisions and worked hard to make sure I was protected in and out of court. I would highly recommend Perusse, she is smart, professional and knowledgable.
