Clients consistently describe Cynthia Rignanese and her team as knowledgeable and efficient, with warm reception and clear explanations of complex legal matters. Staff members Elizabeth, Mandy, Marti, and Ms. Thomas earn specific praise for responsiveness and professionalism. Estate planning and probate work dominate the reviews, with repeated mentions of transparency and attention to detail. One significant complaint documents poor follow-up after initial probate completion, including communication breakdowns and delayed corrections to documents. The firm occasionally pauses new client intake.
Most reviewers highlight the personal, non-intimidating office environment and the sense of being heard during stressful legal transitions. Cynthia actively participates in community and professional affiliations. Fees are described as reasonable to good value. The practice has operated since 1991 and serves Winter Haven, Tampa, and Central Florida areas.
Five-star reviews from staff continuity after 2017 contrast sharply with one and two-star complaints spanning years: clients report being charged far more than quoted, receiving poor tax and legal advice, and then abandoned or pursued for collections. Detail is limited to scattered historical reviews.
Ms. Babers earns consistent praise for patience, knowledge, and responsiveness across years of client relationships. One recent caller found her dismissive during a phone consultation, which stands against the pattern of reviews praising her attentiveness and willingness to explain complex procedures.
Most reviewers praise the firm's professionalism and longevity with clients over decades. Older complaints cite expensive billing, poor mediation attention, and unfavorable outcomes on custody and tax issues; limited recent review text makes current service assessment difficult.
