Cynthia L. Ciancio

Cynthia L. Ciancio is a founding shareholder of Ciancio Ciancio Brown, P.C. and she manages the firm’s Family Law Group currently consisting of 19 lawyers and 8 paralegals.

Ms. Ciancio’s practice focuses on high profile divorce, high asset divorce, high conflict divorce, divorce involving businesses and business valuation issues, divorce involving challenging assets, divorce involving pre-nuptial or post-nuptial agreements, and divorce for retirees (“gray divorce”).

She occasionally handles complex or high conflict child custody disputes for high income individuals. Ms. Ciancio is a certified mediator who also conducts mediations and arbitrations for parties with or without lawyers. Ms. Ciancio has also served on several occasions as an expert in court on various family law related issues.

Now in her 25th year of practice exclusively in the area of family law, and 28 years as a licensed attorney, having served as a Deputy District Attorney in Adams County for the first 4 years, Ms. Ciancio has extensive experience as a litigator and even more experience negotiating agreements for people with extensive or complex conflict.

The feedback Ms. Ciancio has received from her peers, clients, and judicial officers, is: That her focus and attention to detail is unmatched, her dedication and commitment to her clients is extraordinary, and that her ability to produce creative solutions to solve the most difficult problems is her talent.

She’s said to always be there for all her clients and their varied needs, and that she truly lives for seeing her clients get from point A to point Z in a divorce or custody proceeding.

Ms. Ciancio’s extensive experience and presence in the community over the years has enabled her to have outstanding and extensive relationships with experts in the field, as well as knowing and being respected by many of the serving judicial officers.

Ms. Ciancio stands out among her peers as a highly skilled negotiator and litigator who is able to reach favorable results for her clients both in and out of the courtroom.

She’s known among many judicial officers as being one of the best at resolving cases for her clients, and if she cannot, it must mean there is an important (or impossible) issue to litigate…if she does come to court, we can count on her being professional and well-prepared.

Ms. Ciancio has represented hundreds of people with a wide range of issues. She is a vigorous advocate for her clients’ interests, staying highly involved with every aspect of their case. She prides herself in knowing how to move a family law matter forward, and she only results to “being aggressive” if that is what is necessary.

Ms. Ciancio works in all of the Denver Metro Courts and several outlying counties such as Boulder, Weld, Summit, Eagle, Lincoln, Larimer, Grand, Mesa, and Archuleta counties.

Ms. Ciancio is dedicated to the practice of family law and she works tirelessly as a volunteer to better the practice and to educate other lawyers and judicial officers on the subject of family law.

She takes pride in her work over the years as one of the authors, and the editor-in-chief, for the Domestic Relations Bench Bar Book – the most used domestic relations handbook by lawyers and judicial officers.

Ms. Ciancio serves on the Executive Counsel of the Colorado Bar Association’s Family Law Section and is a Fellow of the Colorado Chapter of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (and she served in all officer roles on both boards over the years).

She is a member of the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts, the Colorado Bar Association, the Adams-Broomfield Bar Association, and the Boulder Inter-Disciplinary Committee.

Ms. Ciancio has twelve times been selected by her peers as a Super Lawyer and for over a decade has been honored as one of Colorado’s Top 50 Women Attorneys and one of Colorado’s Top 100 Attorneys. Ms. Ciancio is certainly top of her field, but she is also very approachable and easily gets along with other counsel, judicial officers, experts and of course her clients.
