For the last 18 years, Cindy has dedicated her career to empowering clients to regain a sense of control and navigating through highly emotional situations.

Cindy recognizes that her actions have a direct and lasting impact on her clients, their financial futures, and their children. Cindy prides herself on earning her clients’ trust to guide them through what can be a very overwhelming process.
Cindy was previously a partner at a prestigious Am Law 200 national law firm where she litigated high-stakes and complex marital and family law matters. Cindy recently chose to leave “big law” to establish her own firm so that she could deliver a high level of personalized “boutique” services to her clients. Prior to devoting her career to marital and family law, Cindy was a felony prosecutor for the Office of the State Attorney, 15th Judicial Circuit, where she gained extensive courtroom experience and litigated over 75 jury and non-jury trials, including several highly-publicized cases.
Cindy has personally been through the difficult journey of divorce. With the ability to relate, firsthand, to the tumultuous process, she uses her real-life experience and empathy to provide the highest level of service to her clients.
Cindy resides in Palm Beach Gardens with her two sons and her yellow lab, “Pickles.”
“I bring over 15 years of marital and family law experience, and my own personal journey through divorce, to provide you the support you need.”
