My wife and I have known Cynthia Ribas for many years. She’s been our family attorney for over two decades, and over that time we’ve entrusted her with our most complex and consequential legal business, including reviewing contracts, setting up our loan-out corporation and putting our family trust in place. These are complicated pieces of business for lay people, and we didn’t only bring them to Cynthia because she’s superbly well versed in the relevant law. Just as important to us, I think it’s fair to say, has been her patience and good cheer in explaining the intricacies of legal practice to us. She has a gift for explaining legal concepts in a way that’s clear and comprehensive. She also — and this has come through in every conversation we’ve ever had with her about legal business — loves, loves, loves the law. We trust Cynthia; we respect her judgment, which is always sound and prudent; and we’ve learned so much from her about how the law works in people’s lives. We can’t imagine having navigated our legal affairs of the last 20 years without her.

Ms. Ribas is an extremely experienced, studied and expert in her craft as an attorney. She helped me during one of the most difficult times of my life with such care, knowledge, dedication and exceptional wisdom. Ms. Ribas wrote declarations and represented me at hearings. She is a truly gifted and talented writer and pays keen attention to detail. I was accurately and completely represented by her and I felt deeply heard. All of my hearings resulted in positive outcomes for me under her representation. Her dedication and commitment to fairness, justice and her moral oath to uphold the Law are unparalleled. I couldn't have been in better hands with Ms. Cynthia Ribas.

Cynthia helped me with a complex issue I had been dealing with for years. I had attorneys before her but I never felt like they truly had my best interests in mind. With Cynthia, I felt I was in good hands from start to finish. She thoroughly researched my case and every time she filed a motion or sent an email to opposing counsel, I knew she was representing me with everything she had. She is professional, unbelievably knowledgeable, and very dedicated to her practice. I honestly felt that she underbilled her time because I certainly was not charged the full rate for all the calls and emails we exchanged. I recommend her to all my friends and family members and I will continue to use her services any time I need representation.

I went to Ms.Ribas to assist with a landlord tenant issue she always made conversations long, did unnecessary research and her emails were too lengthy. I requested on several occasions for her to shorten her responses however that never happened. I was charged $5,000 and received nothing in return. Her invoicing is non specific and when I requested itemized breakdowns my requests were ignored. She became extremely emotional at various times, I as the client was emotional I felt it was the job of the attorney to reassure me the client not be emotional along with me. Be cautious when working with her and definitely demand itemized billing.

My start-up company worked with Cynthia Ribas and her firm a few years ago. Excellent experience. She is very pro-active and pro-client. Exceptional service and professionalism.
