In addition to her formal law school training, Cynthia D. Samuel has received extensive additional training in the areas of  Juvenile Law, Family Law and other areas of law.  Below is a partial listing of her continued education and training.
Although all Louisiana lawyers are required to receive 15 hours of mandatory Continuing Legal Education, Cynthia D. Samuel has far exceeded this requirement so that she can be fully knowledgeable of all facets of Juvenile Law, Criminal Law and Family Law to be fully prepared to handle your case.

The below list is illustrative and does not include ALL of Cynthia D. Samuel's extensive supplemental education and training in Juvenile and Family Law.  After her documents were destroyed in Hurricane Katrina, the LSBA could provide replacement transcripts only back to 1996.
