Dan-Phi V. Nguyen is a native Houstonian who was born and raised in Sharpstown and Sugar Land, Texas in his younger years. He graduated from Houston Baptist University in February 2004 with a Bachelor degree in Business Administration and Finance. After working a few years in commercial property management and real estate, he decided to pursue a legal career and attended Thurgood Marshall School of Law (TMSL) where he earned his Juris Doctorate degree, and graduated in May 2010. During his tenure there, he took every opportunity to participate in trial simulation events, mock trials, and moot court competitions.
Dan-Phi fell in love with the courtroom since his internship with the Harris County Attorney's Office (Child Protective Division) and developed many meaningful relationships with his mentors where he was offered a job as an Assistant County Attorney two weeks after his admission with the Texas State Bar. For eight years, he tirelessly maintained his position as a civil prosecutor representing the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS), otherwise knows as Children's Protective Services (CPS).
He has experience in CPS and family law litigation in both the family courts and juvenile courts of Harris County, Fort Bend County, Montgomery County, and Galveston in the counties. He was very active with TMSL Board of Advocates and has been invited every year to act as presiding judge over the mock trial competitions for TMSL's rising lawyers in training.
