While in law school, she was a volunteer attorney with the Legal Assistance to Minnesota Prisoner’s program.

Experience

As a former prosecutor, public defender, judicial law clerk and criminal investigator, Cynthia’s criminal experience is quite unique. She has handled hundreds of criminal cases, many of which involved DUI charges ranging from misdemeanors to felonies. She has, on many occasions, successfully argued for a reduction or dismissal of criminal charges.

Cynthia takes a straightforward, practical approach to handing DWI cases. Given her years of experience prosecuting crimes, she can anticipate the arguments and actions of the State for the benefit of her clients. Quite often, Cynthia will resolve cases through plea negotiations, but she is fully prepared to take your case to trial if necessary.

Volunteer Work

Beyond her exceptional work as a lawyer, Cynthia serves as the president and board member of the Amigos de Guatemala Foundation. The Foundation was started by she and her husband to help impoverished families and orphaned children in Central America. In the last three years she has made nine trips to Guatemala and takes great pride in offering assistance and resources to those in need.
