why cindi

When vulnerable individuals are not able to make their own good, responsible medical, personal and financial decisions, Cindi Spence helps by getting a substitute decision maker appointed through the courts, or developing a less restrictive strategy that will make sure they are safe and protected. Examples of people who need guardianship assistance range from a child who is turning 18 and has challenges such as ADHD, learning disabilities or other cognitive or behavioral disabilities; an elderly individual suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease; or individuals with mental illnesses or other debilitating illnesses.

Testimonials

A good choice for a divorce attorney
Cindi fully explained the papers I received from my ex-wife’s lawyer and what she would need from me to proceed. Cindi told me what kinds of supporting documents and records she would need to represent me. Her advice and responding quickly to my questions kept my stress level very low.
- Anonymous (divorce client)(5 star review)
Absolutely Amazing
Cindi was amazing from start to finish. I interviewed a couple lawyers prior to my first ever use of one. She was professional, yet personable through my toughest times. She was able to guide me through the whole process with knowledge and understanding. I would recommend her to everyone and anyone. I cannot imagine not having her on my side! Many thanks to her from myself and my youngest child!
- Scott(5 star review)
Amazing. Efficient. Kind.
I needed guardianship for my mother who had rapidly advancing dementia. Cindi guided me through the process and made it as painless as possible. Cindi helped me with the sale of my mother's home and the court related forms and permissions involved, as well as performing the required annual financial reporting to the court. Cindi knows what she's doing. Follow her instructions and you'll have no trouble getting through a very tough time. Cindi also related to me with a kind and professional "bedside manner" not often found with attorneys. Her sensitivity made it easier for me.
- Sonya(5 star review)
Cindi and her staff were wonderful to work with!
They are all very competent, timely with their responses, and kind. I never felt intimidated talking to anyone in their office and they were always very approachable. Cindi took the stress out of the situation and gave us peace-of-mind during the process.
- Jody, guardianship client (5 star review)

- Kerri, divorce client (5 star review)
Cindi made the legal process of my divorce understandable and easy to move through.
She ALWAYS got back to me the same day I would contact her with any questions or need for action. Cindi really pays attention to detail and shows she cares about the case.
- Rusty, divorce client(5 star review)
On Point, No Nonsense and Flawless
Ms. Spence was my attorney. She represented me in the attempt to remove a family member that was my mother’s guardian. We were successful. The court reversed its original decision and appointed an outside independent guardian. Ms. Spence demonstrated the highest level of competence preparing the case, kept me involved in the process from start to finish, and her court room presence was outstanding. Her presentation was on point, no non sense, and flawless. I would, without reservation, recommend Ms. Spence.
- Steve, guardianship client (5 star review)
Outstanding Attorney
Ms. Spence served an important role as a Court-Appointed Attorney for a minor child in a highly litigated case. She was steadfast in her duties and advocacy of the child. The Court praised her services. As a litigator, she is one of the best.
- Opposing Counsel (guardianship litigation) (5 star review)
Professional and Compassionate Lawyer
Ms. Spence represented me in a guardianship case for my son. I was thoroughly impressed by her level of professionalism that she maintained while also being compassionate at the same time. She is very thorough and very effective as an attorney. She has been excellent in maintaining constant communication with me and keeping me updated on my case. She is honest and straightforward with her advice, and her experience and knowledge of guardianship matters is clearly evident. I appreciate her level of professionalism and highly recommend her.
- Anonymous (guardianship client)  (5 star review)
She anticipated every potential problem and was 110% prepared.
Cindi was so wonderful in getting us through a guardianship for our son. We had some potential roadblocks that Cindi handled quickly and was prepared for anything that could have happened. I strongly recommend anyone that is looking for an attorney: Contact Cindi. We are so happy that she was our attorney.
- Peggy (guardianship client)(5 star review)
She does a very good job!!
Cindi has been our attorney for about 6 years. She has done an excellent job with Guardianship / Conservatorship Issues and Real Estate Transactions. We have a very good client/ attorney relationship. I can call her anytime with questions and she will always get back to me quickly.
- Cynthia, guardianship client(5 star review)
She Helped Me a Great Deal
She helped me a great deal in getting out of a Guardianship that was not working well with the client I had. Also she was a really great help in my getting paid for my services. I could not have done any of the work on my own.
- Sue (guardianship client)(5 star review)
Thank you Cindi!
Cindi provided legal services to my family in 2009 and 2010. The most impressive thing about Cindi is that she was able to balance the ability to professionally approach and respond to my file as well as provide high touch personal attention. This is a lost art in the legal field and Cindi does it with grace. I would recommend Cindi to anyone who is looking for an attorney to be honest, upfront, professional and personable.
