About

Review: "At a very hard time in my life Cynthia was not only extremely professional, she was truly caring and compassionate and did the most amazing job looking out for me and my best interests. I am thankful I had the guidance of such a wonderful person and experienced attorney." I counsel people all the time, don’t spend your money on an expensive divorce; rather, save it for your children’s college fund or for your own next chapter.  I have been telling that to clients that for over 25 years. My goal is to help you go through the divorce process as effortlessly, painlessly and cost effectively as possible.

I worked with Cindy as a mediator in my divorce. After years of battling with separate attorneys, I sought Cindy out and she was not only a mediation attorney for myself and my ex, but the environment she presented allowed us to foster a friendship. I'm truly grateful for Cindy's services!

Cynthia Lazar has been an excellent attorney for me from initial meeting to finalization of the deed to my home. I was so pleased in the initial meeting with Cynthia because I felt she truly had my best interests as concern considering my marital situation, my personal health issues at the time, and my family stress which revolved around a situation in my marriage which was the stimulus for seeking a divorce. She recommended mediation in my situation as an optimal solution to keep things as amicable as possible and to minimize stress on my emotions and my financial situation. It was absolutely the best mode possible and I cannot thank her enough for saving my sanity going through the divorce process and keeping me abreast of the next steps in the process. She recommended a wonderful mediator who started our process and she was in full control communicating with me, my husband's attorney, and keeping me informed of the progress and anticipated time frame. Her fees were clearly noted and she was very reasonable with fees, time, and communications through the divorce process. She also had contacts available for other steps in the process, such as an attorney for assistance with my QADRO to transfer monies and minimize my direct involvement in the financial issues of the divorce process. She was extremely professional, yet I believe very caring and sympathetic to my particular situation which involved my father in his terminal condition being subjected to the whole process. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

I believe certain people come into your life for a reason, and Cynthia Lazar certainly is one of my people. Divorce can be a painful and gut-wrenching process. Cynthia was there for me every step of the way. She is reliable, thorough and provided the best legal advice and service I could have asked for, while keeping both my costs and best interests in mind. Her expertise and approach are second to none! Cynthia Lazar has my highest possible recommendation!

Cynthia is friendly, easy to work with, thorough and was fair to both sides during our divorce mediation. She was able to accommodate us with a “pay as you go” payment plan, which made things easier financially during this difficult time. I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking an amicable divorce through mediation.

Cynthia is extremely professional and honest. I wanted an amicable divorce and she was there every step of the way to advise me. I couldn't believe how smoothly the process went. I highly recommend Cynthia.

Divorce is never easy, no matter how cooperative you and your spouse think you are. It is complicated and emotional, so I was incredibly fortunate to have Cynthia on my side. Cynthia is, of course, very knowledgeable about the law, but she does an excellent job of making sure YOU understand the law. She walked me through all of the implications of the decisions I had to make so I could make informed choices. I had many questions throughout and Cynthia acted with a sense of urgency when responding to me. Whether it was replying to an email over the weekend or returning a call after hours, I always felt that I was important to her and she was looking out for my best interests. Most importantly, Cynthia is a very calm and compassionate person, which was exactly what I needed during this emotional time. I hope to never need her representation again, but she is my first recommendation to anyone who does.

We lived in close proximity to numerous lawyers, but chose to drive 90 minutes round trip to work with Cynthia as we had heard about her expertise and kindness. We were not disappointed. We felt very lucky to have found Cynthia as she helped us navigate a very complex time with empathy and wisdom.

Cynthia was extremely patient, caring and interested in what was best for my daughter and myself. She worked quickly to resolve the divorce in a matter of months. She is no-nonsense and straightforward. She answers questions quickly and thoroughly. She also provided referrals when necessary, and all the referrals were knowledgeable and professional who worked again for the best interest of my daughter and myself. Highly recommend.
