About Glenn W. Cunningham

Background: Glenn W. Cunningham is an experienced trial lawyer, with the legal expertise and the passion to help victims and their families secure justice in cases involving abuse, neglect or wrongful death. Glenn W. Cunningham began his legal career in 1990 in the internationally renowned law firm of Fulbright & Jaworski, L.L.P. (now Norton, Rose, Fulbright, L.L.P.) in Houston, Texas.
