Cinela Aziz

Litigation Attorney

My greatest strengths as a personal injury attorney are legal research and writing, oral
argument, negotiation, depositions, customer service, and case management, including
developing organizational systems and training and supervising other employees.
I am fluent in English, Farsi, and Assyrian. I have taken Spanish classes in high school
and recently as an adult. While I do not yet speak Spanish, my goal is to become fluent
someday.
I enjoy learning about other cultures by traveling and experiencing new cuisines and
styles of dancing. I also enjoy attending concerts, indoor and outdoor cycling, Pilates,
weightlifting, hiking, spending time with my dog, and being my Nana’s favorite
grandchild.

Honest, responsive and sensitive to my needs

“I asked to meet with Miguel and Vineet to see if I had a case. They gladly met with me to go over my case. From the beginning, they were honest, responsive, and sensitive to my needs. They represented me against a big company and did so aggressively. Their quick and decisive strategy proved to be successful. They were able to achieve a great result for me.”

– John B.

All their staff will treat you as family

“First and formal I would like to thank Custodio & Dubey for being very helpful, communicating, and being straightforward with my case. They solved my case with no issues. Second I want to thank Daniel for being very helpful. He kept me updated every time as the case was moving forward. In terms of my therapy, MRI, X-ray, and how I was feeling as I was progressing physically. He [Daniel] was always informing me in regards to my insurance and any documentation he [Daniel] needed for the case to move on and be settled little by little. Overall I highly recommend Custodio & Dubey as your trusted attorneys for any case you have. They will definitely take care of you. All their staff will treat you like family. Thank you Custodio & Dubey/ Daniel.”

I definitely recommend this team for anyone in need of a personal injury attorney.

“My mother and I had the utmost pleasure of working closely with Rosa. Rosa’s work ethic and professionalism are beyond admirable. She never failed to communicate with us regarding the progress of the case, nor did she ever hesitate to answer any legal questions we had. Custodio & Dubey was recommended to us by a friend, and we are glad we took the recommendation. It is unbelievably difficult to find a team that is really going to work with you, and we were fortunate to have worked with such a highly respected and well-organized firm. I definitely recommend this team for anyone in need of a personal injury.”
