Cynthia Dunn Raibourn

I am committed to guiding clients through difficult family transitions while advocating strongly for their interest and the well-being of their families.  In addition to litigation, I am also trained in Collaborative Law as an alternative to resolving family disputes.  The collaborative process allows parties to work together respectfully and privately to reach solutions outside of the courtroom, helping families move foward cooperatively.

Cynthia Dunn Raibourn is a shareholder in the Family Law Section and a highly respected attorney who is Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a distinction that reflects her extensive experience and recognized expertise in this complex area of law. With more than 32 years of dedicated practice, Cynthia has focused exclusively on family law, representing individuals and families in a wide range of sensitive and often high-stakes matters affecting children and family relationships.

Throughout her career, Cynthia has successfully handled cases involving pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, divorce proceedings, child custody and visitation disputes, child support matters, enforcement of court orders, paternity actions, termination of parental rights, adoptions, and post-judgment modifications of both Texas and out-of-state orders. Her practice reflects a deep commitment to helping clients navigate challenging personal situations while protecting their legal rights and the best interests of their children.

Cynthia is particularly passionate about trial advocacy and is known for her strong courtroom presence.
