Cindy Allen ‘80 lives in Abilene, Texas, and is a shareholder in The Whitten Law Firm. She received her Bachelor of Arts in social science from McMurry and graduated with distinction from St. Mary’s University School of Law in San Antonio, Texas, in 1984.

Allen has been active with the State Bar of Texas, serving on committees and as a presenter at many conferences. Her community involvement has spanned her career.

Currently, she is focusing her time on client needs stepping back from civic involvement. She is grateful to be a part of the McMurry University Board of Trustees during this time of growth.
