"I have been in the real estate development field for over 30 years and have had many attorneys in many matters over the years. Cynthia Smith has been my attorney for over 10 years and has handled many matters from the simple to complex. The service that I receive from her always makes me feel I am her only client and a special person. Matters are always handled in an expeditious manner and with the utmost professionalism. It is not often that any of my former attorneys have taken the time to call me from time to time just to see how my businesses and I are doing. Cynthia's knowledge and expertise has always and continues to impress me, which is why I have been her client for so many years. If someone asks me for a recommendation for an attorney in any legal matter, Cynthia is number one on the list."
