About Alexis
Alexis Cavazos graduated from Southern Methodist University School of Law in 2022. She completed her J.D. after several internships and clerkships that placed her inside both federal courthouses and private practice. Those early experiences shaped how she approaches casework today.
While still in law school, Cavazos served as a judicial intern to District Judge Diana Saldana at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas in 2020. The following year she worked as a law clerk at Janicek Law and secured a judicial externship with Magistrate Judge Renée Harris Toliver at the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. Each role exposed her to written opinions, pretrial procedures, and the practical demands of litigation in federal court.
After earning her degree, Cavazos joined The Barber Law Office as an associate lawyer in 2022. That move brought her back into private practice, where she shifted from observing courtroom procedure to managing client matters and contributing to case strategy. Colleagues cite her steady handling of deadlines and methodical preparation of filings.
Cavazos’s professional path is marked by courtroom-adjacent roles and early immersion in litigation workflows. She spent time on both the research-intensive side of judicial chambers and the client-centered side of law firms. That combination informs how she frames legal problems and prepares for hearings or negotiations.
She is licensed to practice in Texas. Her résumé reflects a particular familiarity with the federal judiciary in the state, along with practical experience in firm settings. She maintains memberships in professional associations since 2022.
Cavazos approaches each matter by grounding it in the record and the applicable procedure. She favors clarity in drafting and punctuality in motion practice. The result is a practice style that emphasizes careful preparation over flash.
She continues her work at The Barber Law Office. She currently handles matters that arise in Texas state and federal courts, representing clients at various stages of litigation.
