Narmeen K. Hussein, J.D., LPC
Attorney at Law · Licensed Counselor
A practice built for the human side of family law.
Narmeen K. Hussein built her practice at the intersection of law and human behavior. Before law school, she earned a master's degree in psychology and worked as a therapist in a hospital-based correctional setting — experience that taught her to listen for what people cannot easily say.
She went on to earn her J.D. from South Texas College of Law Houston at night while working full time, and has been licensed by the State Bar of Texas since 2016. Today she represents Houston-area families in divorce, custody, and support matters, and remains a Licensed Professional Counselor.
That combination is rare in a courtroom. It means your attorney can read the emotional weather of a case, de-escalate where possible, and advocate decisively where necessary.

Attorney-led attention
Focused on what families face next.
Divorce and custody decisions shape the next decade of a family's life. The work is organized around the two questions clients ask most: what happens to the children, and what happens to the money.
Divorce & Children
Divorce Representation
Contested, high-conflict, and agreed divorces — with property division, temporary orders, and a clear strategy from the first meeting.
Explore02Uncontested & Flat-Fee Divorce
When both spouses agree on the terms, a transparent flat fee and a streamlined path to the final decree.
Explore03Child Custody & Visitation
Conservatorship, possession schedules, parenting plans, and modifications that put the children's stability first.
Explore04Child Support
Establishment, review, and modification of support — including health insurance, childcare, and above-guideline cases.
Explore05Mediation
A structured, confidential process for resolving disputes — including mediation conducted in Arabic.
Explore06Family Law
Paternity, protective orders, adoption, termination, pre- and post-marital agreements, and name changes.
ExploreEstate Planning & Real Estate
Wills & Trusts
Simple wills, testamentary trusts, and the documents that keep a family's wishes clear.
Deeds & Real Estate
Deeds, homestead and title questions, and the property documents that follow a divorce.
Commercial Leases
Review and negotiation for small-business owners and family-held properties.
Landlord Evictions
Practical representation for landlords protecting a family asset after a transition.
Two professions. One client at a time.
A divorce or custody case is rarely just about the law. It is about fear, money, children, identity, and what comes next. Narmeen's training as a Licensed Professional Counselor gives her a different lens: she recognizes trauma responses, understands high-conflict dynamics, and knows when a client needs a steady presence rather than a louder voice.
Her real estate background adds another dimension to property division — deeds, homestead issues, leases, and the practical questions that decide whether a settlement actually works.
De-escalation without retreat
Lowering conflict is a strategy, not a concession. The goal is a durable agreement — or a stronger position if trial becomes necessary.
Trauma-informed communication
Plain-language updates, realistic timelines, and no surprises. You should never have to guess where your case stands.
Property and paperwork fluency
A Texas real estate license and years of estate-planning work inform how she reads deeds, leases, retirement accounts, and the assets that fund a family's next chapter.
“I don't measure success by volume or visibility, but by outcomes and ensuring that my clients leave their cases feeling safer, more secure, and emotionally supported.”
A steady process, from the first call to the final order.
You do not need to have everything figured out before you call. You need a clear next step. Here is how the work moves forward.
01
Consultation
A focused 30-minute conversation by phone or video. Bring your questions; you'll leave with a clearer map of your options.
02
Strategy
We define the outcome that matters, identify immediate risks, and choose the path: agreement, mediation, or litigation.
03
Advocacy
Filings, temporary orders, discovery, and negotiation — handled with clear communication and steady momentum.
04
Resolution
A final decree, a mediated agreement, or a court order — plus a plan for what changes afterward.
Trust is earned one client at a time.
