Legal Career
Cindy knew early on that she wanted to help families in the legal arena. After graduation, Cindy joined a busy Brooklyn law firm taking over the matrimonial and family law practice. There she helped her clients navigate their family, estate, and related criminal matters. She also taught Family law to paralegals at Berkeley College in Manhattan. Thereafter, she opened her own general practice with a focus on family matters in New York City. After starting a family of her own, Cindy and her husband decided to return to her Hudson Valley roots and Cindy joined Steve’s practice first as of counsel, then as an associate, and now partner. Her years of practice have sharpened both her litigation and negotiation skills, and her clients trust that she will advise them on the best course for their families in the now and moving forward once the courts are no longer in their lives.
Community Work
Cindy is a founding member of the Southern Ulster Kiwanis Club and sits on the Board of Directors. She is an active participant in her daughter’s PTA and other community endeavors.
