Law Office of Cynthia P. Smith - Lafayette, Indiana

Cindy helped me through a difficult divorce. The last thing I ever thought I'd need an attorney for was a divorce and custody case. Cindy made the process easier. She and her staff responded to my questions in a prompt fashion. She can recall the statutes off the top of her head. She listened to what I wanted and fought hard to get me that and more. I appreciated that she told me the truth and her honest opinion even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear. I will never choose anyone else for my future legal needs.

I interviewed several attorneys and received several recommendations. Cindy was highly recommended and once we met and I expressed what my needs were, I knew she would the best to represent me. She made a terrible situation better and always had my best interest in mind.

I recently had the misfortune of hiring a lawyer who left me deeply disappointed and frustrated. To put it bluntly, my experience with this attorney has been nothing short of terrible. From the very beginning, her complete lack of communication made it nearly impossible to get updates on my case or even ask simple questions. It was not only unprofessional but also extremely frustrating.

Additionally, the lawyer's demeanor and attitude were nothing short of rude and impersonal. It felt as though she had no interest in listening to my concerns or providing any kind of empathetic support. She acts like you are an inconvenience to her. Furthermore, it was nearly impossible to have a meaningful conversation with her.

Cindy Smith is the best lawyer I have ever met. She is my family’s lawyer. She will fight for your rights and go beyond that. I would recommend that you get her as fast as possible if you need a family attorney.

Personal A.

Her rudeness extended beyond just demeanor. Cynthia frequently interrupted me during discussions, making it challenging to fully articulate my situation. One time she yelled at me for asking her a question. It was disheartening to have such impatience and disregard lawyer. She lacks any kind of respect and courtesy to the client. She is incredibly rude and takes months to respond or do anything related to your case. Do not waste your time and money.

I recently had the unfortunate experience of working with Cynthia Smith and I must say it was far from pleasant. From the very beginning, it was evident that professionalism and courtesy were not at the top of their priority list.
Communication was a major issue throughout our interactions. She is rude and always annoyed when you ask questions. HORRIBLE!

My life changed over a very short period of time when I was suddenly faced with divorce proceedings. The man I was with for 35 years had betrayed my trust, so I found it hard to trust anyone anymore. I reached out to Attorney Smith at the advice of some associates. She had a very good reputation in word of mouth terms. At my most downtrodden, Smith fought for me harder than I had ever experienced. She was professional, earnest, and deeply caring. During divorce proceedings, my husband's attorney chose to personally attack my character. In contrast, Smith never made a personal attack, and instead used her knowledge and understanding of the law to help me. I was able to leave that court, feeling that I was properly represented by a serious lawyer. She never used theatrics or misinformation to get ahead.When dealing with something as emotional as the end of a marriage, it is easy to become afraid and make choices based on emotion. Smith let me make my decisions, but she gave me enough information and time so that those decisions were never made in fear. The court system is massively complex and it is easy to become overwhelmed by that. At times, I was emotional and afraid, but Smith always helped me feel safe and secure that my case was being handled. She is known to be very busy lawyer, but she gives all her clients her full attention. Her integrity, kindness, professionalism, and honesty have been a great example on how to deal with an aggressive and difficult situation that was forced on my by the opposing side. I received a settlement that will allow me to live a good, dignified life. On the final day of proceedings I looked at her and told her, "you believed in me." She responded that she always will. All things considered, Cindy is one of the people who have had the most influence on the way I lived my life. She will always remain an answered prayer during my one of my weakest times.

Just walked out of the final hearing on a multiple day divorce proceeding; and wanted to give a true and accurate review of Mrs. Smith's performance. When I began searching for a divorce attorney, I read many Google reviews and noticed that so many reviews were biased by there settlement in the divorce (whether favorable or unfavorable).
Therefore I am making my review prior to the judge's decision in order to show no bias and give Mrs. Smith the proper credit she is due. She is an excellent experienced attorney; and I would highly recommend her.
I could not be more pleased with her performance in the courtroom and knowledge of the law. Her cross examination was excellent and really displayed her experience in divorce proceedings. In comparison between both attorneys; it was obvious Mrs. Smith was much more skilled at how to properly question a witness. In truth I feel that if my wife and I had gone to Mrs. Smith for divorce mediation in the beginning; it would have prevented a lot of wasted money on the divorce proceedings as a whole. She is highly skilled in her trade and does not suffer fools. The only negative I would say at this point is that she is not easy to get on the phone with. However, that speaks more to her level of business and demand. I would rather have a busy attorney (like her) than an attorney who answers the office phone personally, remembers every case detail weeks later, and pretends they are a shoulder to cry on. Her office staff did a very impressive job as well. Although I don't remember all their names (one was Mary Fraser:) they remembered mine every time. Every document and courtroom scheduling time were e-mailed quickly and completely; so that I was never wondering what next (or when I was needed to be present in court). Divorces are expensive, attorneys are expensive, but I am. thankful I chose her to represent me.
