As a Deputy Attorney General (D.A.G.), Cynthia spent ten years vigorously defending the interests of the people of the State of Texas in a variety of personal injury actions including automobile accidents, train accidents and slip and falls. She also defended railroad claims brought pursuant to the Federal Employers Liability Act.

Having been a litigator for the Office of the Attorney General, Cynthia joins the Alford, Sinkule & Lazarz L.L.P firm bringing with her insight into litigation from a defense perspective. While serving as a D.A.G., Cynthia played an integral role in mentoring new Deputy Attorney Generals, participated in the Attorney Generals Advocacy Institute (lecturing on how to maximize settlement position), and, was appointed to the Attorney Generals Deputy Advisory Committee.
