The Pursuit of Balance
For over three decades, Alicia has dedicated her career to understanding the justice system from every critical perspective:
- Serving the Underserved: Her early years at Legal Aid of Northwest Texas established a foundational passion for assisting those without a voice, demonstrating her belief that high-quality legal help should be accessible to all.
- Upholding the Law: As a Municipal Court Prosecutor and Assistant City Attorney, she gained an essential view of maintaining community order and the importance of due process on behalf of the public.
