About The FirmCynthia F. Newton Cynthia F. Newton was born in 1960 in Pittsburgh, PA. She practiced law in California for 13 years before joining Swanson Thomas & Coon in 2004. Cynthia received her J.D. degree in 1987 from Hastings College of the Law where she was awarded the American Jurisprudence Award in Litigation Advocacy and participated in the Hastings International and Comparative Law Review. She was admitted to the Oregon Bar in 2003. Before law school Cynthia worked as a medical office assistant, surgery aide, dialysis technician, and writing instructor. Cynthia's personal injury and trial practice includes a wide variety of cases involving serious injury or death. She has extensive experience with products liability (medical, machine and equipment defects and malfunctions), construction cases (general contractor and/or third party negligence) and medical negligence cases (including surgical misadventures, failure to diagnose and nursing negligence issues). Many cases involve challenging liability and complicated medical issues. Much of her expertise stems from her 10 years' experience as a plaintiff's trial attorney with the Walkup firm in San Francisco. Cynthia has been a frequent lecturer for legal continuing education programs, including the National Institute for Trial Advocacy. She is admitted to the Oregon and California bars and a member of Oregon Trial Lawyers Association. Outside the office, Cynthia enjoys commuting to work by bicycle and hiking with her family, husband Mark and 9-year-old twins, George and Carol. She is an avid gardener and enjoys reading, writing, drawing and movies. e-mail: cnewton@stc-law.com |
