Motivation and Law

Cynthia devoted over twenty-five years building a successful law practice by observing the needs, thoughts, actions, and habits of those who possess true success in all areas of their lives. Over two decades as an Entrepreneur, she built a successful law practice serving thousands of clients throughout her career. Her passion has always been public speaking and she has addressed hundreds of organizations both nationally and locally on the topics of estate planning and elder law. In 2005, the Institute for Continuing Legal Education in New Jersey asked her to develop a presentation on the hospice program since she had depended upon their services during her mother's terminal illness. This speech was much different from her previous topics since it was designed to be inspirational rather than to deliver legal information. Due to the overwhelming response, she decided to shift careers and devote herself to helping people through motivational teaching and inspirational speaking.

Cynthia has expanded by becoming a Certified LifeSuccess Consultant and is in partnership with Bob Proctor through this organization. She has further cemented her commitment to excellence by becoming a Member of Peak Potential's Quantum Leap Program and has been Certified as a Trainer.
