Testimonials

Retaining Cynthia for my civil case was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Before finding her, I had unfortunately hired another attorney who did little more than collect a check. The moment Cynthia stepped in, everything changed. She entered the middle of an ongoing lawsuit and handled it with absolute professionalism, confidence, and precision—never missing a beat.

In a situation as stressful as a civil lawsuit, you want to know your attorney has crossed every “T” and dotted every “I.” Cynthia not only did that, she went above and beyond. Her deep expertise and command of her field immediately put me at ease, and I quickly grew confident that my case would soon be resolved—and it was.

Throughout the process, Cynthia and I built a strong rapport rooted in trust and communication. She treated my case with the same dedication and care you’d expect from family, not just legal counsel. I always felt heard, supported, and fully confident in her guidance.

Cynthia exceeded every expectation I had of an attorney. I would recommend her to friends, family, or anyone in need of exceptional legal representation without a moment’s hesitation. She is not only an outstanding attorney, but someone I’m grateful to now call a friend.

This firm was very amazing! I rate five stars. Michael Huber handled my case,he was incredible, always kept me informed on every step of the way. I was very grateful and happy with the outcome. If you are ever in need,I highly recommend their firm. I want to say thank you for everything! My family and I are very grateful for their assistance highly appreciated.

Dear Cindy and Team HS,

Our elderly aunt who has lived with us for over 20 years and is like a second mother to us had a terrible car accident that was not her fault. A Semi Truck almost killed her, thankfully she is alive and well today, but that whole ordeal took a big toll on her and us. Her car was a complete loss and she will likely never drive on the freeway again because of her fear for semi-trucks. A year long process of getting her help, doctor care, and your endless support and advice along the way allowed her to successfully receive a settlement that was over three times the amount the insurance company originally wanted to settle for– it was wonderful to see that you never gave up on her case or getting her justice for that senseless accident. She picked up her settlement check this morning and it was the first time I saw her truly feel happy knowing justice was served. Thank you for all of your expertise and attention to details– you made the whole process painless and more importantly, you made our aunt feel valued, cared for, and believed. You and your law team are amazing!

Cynthia and Michael resolved my personal property claim with a high level of professionalism and expediency. They also provide guidance and advice for my construction business, and have been a wonderful addition to the team! Thanks for all the help.

Cynthia and the Hafif Law Group provide excellent client care and legal counseling. They continue to aid me and my family, even after our cases have ended. They are client-first and extremely knowledgeable in every aspect. If you need a support system, they will provide that and more.

Cynthia at Hafif Stonehouse Law Group resolved a contract dispute between a large chain hotel and a small association I am part of. We couldn't have done it without her. Saved time, money and most of all, it provided us peace of mind. Thank you, Cynthia!

I met with Cynthia to see if there was a case after my son passed away in a motorcycle accident. She and her team determined that there wasn't, which is what I was hoping to hear. It was refreshing to meet an attorney who was concerned about not putting our family through unnecessary stress. I appreciated her kindness, thoroughness, and honesty. She is a true professional.

I have been dealing with attorneys for over sixty years. Cynthia is by far the best. Cynthia is honest, conscientious, knowledgeable, kindhearted and best of all Cynthia returns your calls and Emails ASAP. I would and will recommend Cynthia to my friends and family.

Finding the right attorney isn’t always an easy task. Not all attorneys are same. When I give this recommendation for Cynthia Stonehouse I can wholeheartedly say choosing the right attorney means everything to winning a case! Cynthia is a trial attorney with over 30 years of experience. She truly takes an interest in her clients needs and will fight fiercely for them. When Cynthia accepts a lawsuit she works very hard to explore every angle of the situation in order to construct a winning argument. Her strategy techniques result in lucrative settlements. I know you won’t find a better attorney

My minor son and I were in a car accident the week of Christmas in 2021. I contacted my brother and he knew exactly who to call: Cynthia! Cynthia was immediately on the case, helpful, and attentive. Her emails are personable and make you feel as though a friend or family member is handling the hard stuff for you so that you can focus on recovering from the accident. Cynthia and her team are caring, honest, hard working, and knowledgeable. The claim was not only resolved, but for the maximum. Even after the case was closed, I got a birthday wish from the team and Cynthia – they go above and beyond and the relationship does not end when the case does. Our entire family recommends Hafif Stonehouse Law Group!

First of all: we were left drifting in a sea of emotional hell without a star to guide us that is until you appeared on a distant horizon. Cynthia you became that star and your compass of love and compassion held our hands until we could see the shoreline. Your connection to my son Justin wasn’t just coincidental and all the dots you connected about his life were sent to you by Justin’s Heavenly Father.

It’s not the law books and the credentials that have made you successful, your heartfelt efforts to cast a line to us and begin the process of pulling our raft to a safer location will never be forgotten. You are far beyond a brilliant attorney you are a beautiful loving woman who carries her skills like a bolt of lighting that strikes the fear of God in those who dare to question your word.

Concerning the settlement check I would gladly give it all back for an hour with Justin. No amount can ever make the pain of the loss subside. I will remain a broken man and the living proof that two men died in that intersection the morning of Dec. 17 TH 2021. I send you my prayers that your beautiful son will be beside you throughout your life. He is truly blessed with you as his mother and his best friend. I’m honored that you were there to represent us as parents of our lost child.

Cynthia and Michael have been a godsend to my family. I was in an automobile accident 4 years ago and since have been through numerous therapies and 2 back surgeries. They are not only extremely professional but honest, empathetic and genuinely cared for the well-being of my and my family. I highly recommend them. They helped me through the most challenging time in my life and I cannot express the level of my appreciation.

Once again you have saved us! WE can not THANK YOU enough, you are the kindest person I know, you have always gone above and beyond. It renews my faith in the human race when I get to interact with someone who truly cares about other people. As I am writing this I can’t stop crying.

In May 2015, I was T-boned by a distracted driver. I had to be cut out of my car and taken to a trauma hospital. I had a fractured pelvis and a huge laceration on the top of my right foot. After just a few frustrating weeks dealing with my insurance company, I retained Cindy Hafif as my lawyer. She dealt with nonsense from the insurance companies. The first settlement they offered was $8,000. It was insulting. I had to walk with a walker for weeks and had a year of physical therapy.

Cindy made me feel like my case was the most important case she was working on. She kept me updated on a regular basis and gave her advice, which was most appreciated. Because of the frequent communication and how well she explained the process, I felt very comfortable deferring to her judgment. Cindy ended up getting me a significant settlement (policy limits) that would cover any future medical costs. She is very knowledgeable and highly thought of in the field. I have no reservation in giving my highest recommendation for Cynthia Hafif for your legal needs.

Cynthia and her team are great, wonderful customer service and always available to talk and discuss options. Cynthia is extremely passionate about what she does. We are in the construction industry and have utilized her for both personal and business related items and have always been satisfied with her effectiveness and attention.

Cynthia’s professionalism, prompt attention to detail and patience, helped ease my trepidation through the whole process and I just want you to know how much I appreciate all you did for me. Thank you!

I retained Cynthia Hafif to represent my business. She has so much respect in the community it is unbelievable! I went to a Riverside Chamber of Commerce meeting where the media was involved on frivolous lawsuits that were being filed by a lawyer against all the local businesses. When I mentioned Cynthia Hafif as being my lawyer, I felt like the red carpet rolled out. Everyone started talking over one another saying: Cynthia? Oh wow she is your lawyer? She is good. She has a great reputation.” It made me so proud. Even the Civil Rights Advocate for the Chamber joined in on the compliments. I felt like royalty having her as my lawyer. And she is nice and cares too!

I have worked with many excellent attorneys and large legal firms but the service provided to me by Ms. Hafif is without peer. For legal issues that require razor-sharp focus and representation, Cynthia Hafif is my first attorney of choice and I would give her my highest recommendation without reservation.

I was involved in a tubing accident out-of-state when I was flipped off the tube and hit the shore. I broke my jaw and was in a lot of pain. I spent nearly a year fighting State Farm, the insurer of the boat, to try and get them to pay for my medical bills. State Farm paid me $1,000.00 and said: “no more,” claiming that I “Assumed the Risk” and I was responsible for my own accident. Everyone had been drinking which did not make the facts any better. At my wit’s end, I retained Cynthia Hafif and within 3 months, she settled my case for over 95 times the amount I was offered! She turned the whole case around, did a massive investigation, got witness statements and ultimately had the money in my pocket without having to incur the costs of filing a lawsuit. I would never hesitate to recommend her for any case. She is a fighter who cares!

I own a construction company with nearly 175 employees. I would have been unable to make payroll and continue with the high overhead had it not been for Hafif’s expertise, in combination with their strong litigation skills in obtaining quick settlements and payoffs of the monies owed on certain projects. They are quite feared in the construction industry and I am just glad they are on my side!

Cynthia Hafif represented my granddaughter as a result of a tragic motorcycle accident where I lost my only son. Through her skill and assertiveness, she ended up turning the case around to where the truth was uncovered, and she obtained a significant settlement where my grandaughter will be taken care of for life. In Cynthia, I found not only a person of character and integrity but a friend for life.

After being involved in a somewhat serious accident, I thought I could go it alone and the insurance company of the car that hit me would take responsibility for my damage and pay. I fought the insurance company for over 15 months and got nowhere. Cynthia Hafif came highly recommended and within months after I retained her, she not only settled my case but got me a favorable result. I could not have asked for anything better.

What sets Cindy apart from other lawyers is that she really listens to your story, she is not just interested in your money, but she gets to the bottom of what you have lost, she cares about your loss. Cindy takes your case personally and pours all her strengths into getting you the best result possible.

I’ve referred several clients to her and that’s the ultimate compliment. She’s a fierce litigator.

Cindy is an amazing, intelligent lawyer with a beautiful, giving soul. She not only practices and knows the law flawlessly, she truly personally cares about the people she is helping. It was as though Cindy was an angel sent from heaven, who came to give me hope and win my case. I’m a positive my case wouldn’t have been built and wouldn’t have been won without her.

I’m a senior level entertainment and hospitality executive who has been fortunate to develop some of the best brand name properties around the globe and here in the United States. I contracted Cindy Hafif and her firm for general counsel, licensing, and contraction negotiation services, and I must say, that I was beyond impressed. Cindy is the “Jerry Maguire” (sports agent film starring Tom Cruise – 1996) of attorneys. Her attention to detail, care and commitment to her clients, personal and professional ethics, and pursuit of excellence is second to none. I have worked with larger reputable firms, but the same energy and commitment doesn’t exist. I would highly recommend Cindy Hafif to anyone who is in the market for the highest quality attorney services. She’s the best in the business!

I met Cindy Hafif several years ago when we jointly represented a client in a wrongful death motor vehicle accident. Throughout the case, we worked extremely well together toward a favorable resolution. Since that time, we have worked together on other matters and we have referred clients to each other. Her legal skills are top notch and she is an ethical advocate for her clients.

Cynthia is a dedicated, professional and knowledgeable. She works diligently on your case and keeps you informed on all the progress. She is not fee driven and is very fair in her billing. She cares about you and fights for your rights!

Thank you for all your help! You afforded a new opportunity in life, amongst all my adversaries in my life! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I was having trouble collecting on a personal loan that I had given out and thought that I was going to be out of luck collecting. Not only did Cindy and Mike over at H&A help me to understand the law and the court process but they got me back even more than expected! They are great people and made my life a whole lot easier. I practically sat back while they took care of my case. VERY happy with my experience.
