Cindy and her team did a fantastic job with my case. I petitioned for an increase in residential time to bring me a little closer to 50/50; my ex responded with a notice of intent to relocate our kid hours away. Somehow, ten months later, Cindy got me to full 50/50 time (which seemed legally impossible at the start) and an effective stop on any further attempts to move my kid.
Cindy's experience, organization, skill, demeanor, and high-integrity approach were all key reasons for the success of the case. She listened very well, helped me understand the process, provided wise strategy throughout the year-long case, kept up with each development, made every deadline, and argued clearly and concisely and compellingly, both in writing and in court. She understood case law better than other attorneys. When other attorneys twisted process, misrepresented history, or became unresponsive to messages, Cindy was able to call them out or get them moving.
In court, Cindy was well prepared for every hearing. Her presentation was the same as her presentation in writing and in private discussions: she was calm and cordial, but sharp and hard to faze. She relied on substance rather than volume or tone to make her points. The contrast with other attorneys was notable to me, and I'm sure the judges noticed too.
Cindy's consistency was indicative of her high integrity. She was not a mercenary; she was obviously trying to live her values and work toward good outcomes for kids and some degree of justice. This lined up well with my own values and made Cindy easy to work with her and trust.
Also, for many months I was terrified I would lose my kid. Cindy's compassionate approach kept me calmer throughout and helped me focus on concrete actions.
I was tremendously lucky to end up with Cindy; I can't recommend her enough.

Cindy Wysocki and her team helped me with my estate planning and related documents. She was very thorough and asked the right questions to get things in order. I felt that my wishes were understood and that all contingencies had been addressed. She and her team walked me through the online notarization process, which ended up being very easy. Overall, my experience with her was exceptional, and I would recommend her highly to anyone seeking representation in her areas of expertise.

Cindy's calm voice and steady approach to everything always helped answer my questions and ease my anxiety around the whole divorce and child custody process. I feel I was very fortunate to have found Cindy and for Cindy agreeing to take me on as a client.
Thanks also to Cindy's legal team for all the work they did behind the scenes. It was a pleasure working with Wysocki Law.

I engaged with Cindy after receiving notice of a restraining order and court hearing for same from my ex-wife and co-parent. I was angry about this and other treatment I had received from my ex and it wasn’t helping my case at all. Cindy helped me understand how to more effectively direct my energy to get out from under all of this business and back to a functional parenting plan. If I had tried to represent myself, which is how I started, I would have failed miserably. Cindy lowered the temperature, got both sides talking, and moved us to resolution - exactly what I needed.

From the first conversation at the height of my distress, through a domestic violence protection order and ultimately divorce finalization, Cindy provided wise counsel, guidance and encouragement. Not only was Cindy’s expertise critical for success in court, she simplified the legal process in a way that allowed me to overcome my fears, make clear decisions and walk out of some of my darkest days into a hopeful future. I am grateful to Cindy’s impeccable professionalism and understanding of the law, she became my greatest ally and voice of reason for moving forward with grace through overwhelming conflict. She prepared a direction that lead this seemingly unrepairable situation to a peaceful settlement. Instead of propagating distrust and anger, I left feeling grounded, resolved, and fully capable of picking up my life and starting fresh.

Cindy is 100% the lawyer you want in your corner. We were referred to her after being served with a relocation notice and Cindy's logical explanations, recommendations, and guidance turned an alarming situation for us into an extremely reasonable outcome. She was consistently available to bounce questions off of, and always followed up with the other party when they were unresponsive. When the parenting plan later needed to be changed due to another situation, there was no doubt we'd use her again and she was excellent with that situation as well. She again guided us into a plan that truly put the needs of the kids and us first. We can't recommend her enough!

After my ex got a restraining order against me deliberately timed to ruin my vacation with my son, I found attorney Cindy Wysocki. Immediately upon meeting Cindy, I felt comforted. She had a sympathetic and compassionate ear and truly listened to me. My ex is very deviant and takes low road tactics. Even when I wanted to take a low road tactic to beat my ex at her own game, Cindy refused. If you want a bulldog who attacks people for no reason, she’s not the lawyer for you. Cindy is honest, clear, and direct. She has a great sense of humor. Under the most hostile circumstances, she always held her ground, stayed present, and maintained her dignity.
Cindy researches thoroughly, knows the law and argues convincingly. She is a commanding writer and very effective in court. She maintains great working relationships with mediators, GALs and others in the legal community and leverages those relationships to benefit her clients. Considering the quality of her work, Cindy was extraordinarily fair in billing. She took really good care of me and my future. Thanks to Cindy, my ex is no longer a threat.
I worked with Cindy for three years. She consistently achieved successful outcomes inside and outside of court. Prior to that, I worked with a lawyer who made me feel like the bad guy. She belittled me, made me second guess myself, and made me feel that I had to give up more than I should have. She billed aggressively and I was never convinced she was actually on my side. I thought the legal system didn’t work. Turns out my lawyer didn’t know how to work it. Now, every day is better for me because of the work Cindy did. I’m very thankful Cindy accepted me as her client.

The words given to us are not nearly enough to explain just how special, professional and caring Cindy is. She helped me with my divorce and custody battle and turned everything around for me just when I could no longer fight back. The help and guidance she provided me was truly amazing. My hope was almost gone until she came along. She went above and beyond. I've never come across a lawyer like her. Who truly works for the client and not so much the pay. She is remarkable! I will always recommend her. You will not be disappointed.

my divorce was a looong, hard, crazy and painful process which I don't even want to recall anything of it again. but I still have to say having Cindy as my lawyer was the BEST part of it and the most correct decision I have ever made. Cindy, as a person, is amazing. She values honesty, integrity, empathy and professionalism. She treats you like you are a VIP client (well, actually I was charged with a fairly reasonable fee) and cares about you with deep understanding. She always thought things ahead of me, worried about me and encouraged me when I experienced mental breakdown or difficulties with unbelievable patience. I am 100% sure without her support and help, I would never ever have survived all these and reached to the point that I finally can enjoy the freedom and peaceful life I deserve. I don't know if there is another job like Cindy is doing can tremendously change a woman's life. Thanks to Cindy for giving me second chance to live a good life.

Cindy is full of wisdom that comes from years of practice. Yet, she remains approachable and respected me as a person capable of making my own decisions that impact my life. Cindy kindly guided me through the labyrinth of legal procedure when I was overwhelmed by uncertainty and despair from seeing my children only sporadically. Thanks to her support, I have an equitable parenting plan. While other attorneys command, Cindy actively listens and supports me when I need to make critical decisions in my case. In Cindy, I found an enlightened attorney.

Cindy Wysocki was highly recommended to me by a former co-worker who had custody/parenting issues. She was a beacon of hope to my family at a time when we were frustrated, and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed impossible. Not only was she able to help us reach a reasonable and solid parenting plan; her calm, confident, and empathetic demeanor offered emotional support and strength to me and my family. We are especially impressed with her transparency, integrity, and willingness to fight for my rights as a father. I am eternally grateful for her service and I hereby recommend Ms. Wysocki without reservation.
