The current reviews are certainly not my experience. The older reviews are. The current reviews have the style of the same writer and look like reviews to boost the rating. She is extremely slow, plows through the retainer charging for her to read correspondence and then you are charged again for her assistant to read it. There is no value for you as the customer. Expect to pay triple the normal cost for anything.

During a very difficult time, Cindy Scharff helped to make the experience a little easier. She was very personable, understanding and helped me to understand my legal options.She was quick to start working on my case with appropriately timed follow-ups. Hours were also good. Communication was always timely, and follow-through via phone call or email was quite exceptional. I was very pleased with the service that I received from Cindy. I have since referred Cindy.

Cindy Scharff provided confidential professional and sound guidance to me regarding a highly emotional family (divorce and children) situation dating back several years. I would highly recommend Cindy to anyone who is looking for honest - not always easy to hear but proper legal advice and representation. Thank you so very much Cindy.

Cindy Scharff was very patient and professional while providing me options and advice in a manner that I could understand during an obviously stressful and difficult time. She was knowledgeable and professional and was able to get the case closed and to my satisfaction. I would not hesitate to use Cindy again or to recommend her to others in need.

Cindy is kind and caring and sincerely cares about me as her client. She is effective in handling her cases using an academic style vs an aggressive style. At times when I have doubts about the approach taken, she proves to be bang on. Good lawyers are not cheap and no lawyer is going to give you a one-hour turnaround so expecting these things is unreasonable. Unfortunately, this is the reality. And in this reality, I feel fortunate to have a lawyer like Cindy. Cindy has been tracked down while on vacation for me and she has provided me with direction even in her absence from the office. These are the things that are appreciated.

Cindy Scharff was my divorce lawyer for 24 months. She was committed to achieving the best outcome she could for me based on my situation, which was a high conflict case. She acted quickly when situations called for speed and she was impressively calm and controlled in her style of communication with me and during her court presentations. I found Cindy Scharff to be patient and honest and I would highly recommend meeting with her to assess her suitability for your case.

Completely surprised by the other reviews. This attorney is intelligent, articulate and warm. It was easy to schedule meetings and she worked through a timeline during our first visit. There were absolutely no issues with time and, in fact, she worked to keep costs down. She made a difficult process manageable and I would highly recommend her.

Wish I had read the reviews here first -- she talks a good game, but as other posters here have said: slow to respond, constantly running the clock and asking for more money, doesn't fight for you just "we'll try this and see if they take it". Seemed to be away on vacation every time I needed her. Over $4000 for three letters to opposing counsel that got us nowhere before I dropped her.

***DO NOT HIRE THIS LAWYER!!!*** I hired this lawyer for my matter, BAD decision!!! She DOESN'T care about your case. All she did was ask me for more money. She charged me for asking her a question which was never answered. Bills are unclear, just a number that is charged to me without much explanation. Also charge me for something I didn't get. She even charged me for emailing her a 1 liner of saying "thanks" or "see you then". When asked, she said it's the system that made the mistake, and she returned $50 to me... Totally unprofessional!! Never ensure me the mistakes won't happen again. She had no knowledge of my case whatsoever. I understand lawyers make living and they are not cheap. But at least give me what I pay for! Never provide any advice to me. She is at most my type writer! $5000 to help me type out my financial disclosure. Unreal! I wonder how she got her license!! Waste of time and money.
