How Could This Happen?

I have been an educator for over 30 years and never had a grievance filed against me by anyone. My evaluations have always been positive. I felt I was being targeted and thrown under the bus when I was reassigned with no specific reason before an investigation was done. I thought this only happened... when you were a threat to and/or injured a child (which was not the case). Cynthia contacted me in a timely manner and patiently listened to my story. Almost before I got started, she knew exactly what happened. Her advice was on target and greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Cynthia did an excellent job! A+

Cynthia was quick to respond to our calls/messages and gave us very helpful advice to our legal situation. She guided us and was very knowledgable about the educational system. We wouldn't have known what our options were if we hadn't spoken with Cynthia. I highly recommend her! Thanks Cynthia!

Elementary school assault

My daughter was assaulted while on campus at a Dallas elementary school I contacted Cynthia,she immediately jumped into action, by the days end she had the educator put on administrative leave and offered an abundance of support to my daughter and I. Cynthia is well informed in many areas of law. I f...eel at ease with her handling this matter for us , she has an amazing passion for her profession as well as an unsurpassed compassion for her clients. I highly recommend Ms. Figueroa for your legal needs ,shes far from timid in her approach I seen her go full force within the first hour of retaining her services she's a lioness of law! My family couldn't be happier with her services!!!

Education Situation

Simply amazing. She’s extremely professional and beyond helpful. The free consultation experience that I received would range from $300+ if I considered a different attorney. The self help tips that she provided confirmed that she truly cares about your situation and wants the best possible outcome ...for you. Great spirit, very knowledgeable and informative and will get the job effectively done. Thank you so much for your help Cynthia, truly appreciated.
