Law Office of Cynthia Bashore

All I can say is Ms. Bashore has been a lifesaver. After our experience with five (5) other attorneys who all did us wrong, Ms. Bashore has represented us in a most professional, proficient manner. She’s always on top of things and keeps us well informed as we go along. She’s been great at helping us understand the legal jargon of all aspects of our case.
She’s an expert in family law, child custody and litigation among other areas of the law. Her approach is straight forward, no nonsense and, yet, with the utmost respect for her clients and the courtroom. We feel relieved knowing she’s in our corner and fighting for us.
I wouldn’t hesitate to refer Ms. Bashore to anyone in need of legal representation. I’ve referred several clients and they’re very happy with her; more than satisfied! She always goes above and beyond.
Five stars for sure! A rare find these days to find such a caring, competent attorney.

After being sexually harassed in my apartment, I was put in touch with Ms. Bashore through a family member. We met one time on a Monday. I paid her $ 1000 retainer and was given the impression that that amount would be sufficient to handle the situation. She accompanied me to the police station to file a report although she told me several times she did not ‘do’ criminal law. I gave both her and the police he sexual harassment complaint letter I had sent to the owners of the apartment. During her visit, she interrogated me about my living arrangements with my husband (we live separately, but are not divorcing; he lives in the house we own while repairs are made so that it can be sold). Ms. Bashore asked repeated questions often in a hostile, «just the facts» way about the house, putting up for sale, why we didn’t do this or that — nothing that had to do with the sexual harassment complaint. After the police report, she disappeared until Friday. During that time I had received a call from the apartment complex attorney in response to my letter. He expressed that the issue was taken seriously and that he wanted to talk to me and/​or my husband about the events. He said ‘we can handle this any way want.” He wasn’t being litigious or threatening. I asked Ms. Bashore to contact him. After waiting for three days for Ms. Bashore to respond in any way, I called the attorney myself but he would not speak to me as I had an attorney. Ms Bashore did finally talk to him and told me some BUT NOT ALL the information. Her focus was on breaking the lease, having me move then suing for damages. The reality was that the investigation into the incident was still ongoing and nothing had been determined. She only told me that after a two-​day administrative leave he was allowed back on the grounds and had asked the attorney whether I would be okay if I broke the lease because I was afraid. My first and foremost and well-​articulated, over and over again goal to everyone was that I DID NOT WANT TO MOVE. When I got the actual letter from the attorney it indicated the situation was not yet resolved and was still being investigated, something Ms. Bashore failed to tell me. I asked Ms. Bashore to give this attorney all the information I had compiled detailing everything that had happened before, during and after the complaint including names of witnesses and messages sent contemporaneously to the event. She did not want to do this, said «you don’t show opposing counsel your hand’. There wasn’t/isn’t any ‘opposing counsel’; there is no lawsuit– just an employer investigating a sexual harassment complaint and WANTING information. She told me if I didn’t like her advice I could fire her and she’d send a bill. I spoke to another attorney who had options other than me moving to try to get this man away from me. I told this to Ms. Bashore. She told me to get a lawyer that specializes in sexual harassment — which she should have told me before taking my money and she had neither the time or experience in this area to be an effective advocate. For a visit to the police station, calling the attorney once, returning my emails (which, because she was never around, I had to contact her this way and I had to repeat information as she does not listen or read), and one phone call she billed me an extra $ 910.00. Her bill included ‘reading’ the lease which I did not ask her to do but she wanted to look at to see if she could get her fees reimbursed. Reading ‘a story’ I had written about a previous harassment incident that I told her about verbally on the phone and in person and wasn’t even aware she had this until i was billed for it. $ 600 was for texts/​responding to emails — indicating she spend 3 hours doing that. Not remotely possible unless she is a very slow reader, typist. Nothing was accomplished. I feel as victimized by Ms. Bashore as I do by the man who harassed me.-Edit Review

Cynthia is helping me get through a difficult time. I really appreciate her compassionate approach and her attention to detail.
Anyone unfortunate enough to be faced with a divorce and child custody issues should give her a call.
