About Us

Angela Faye Brown & Associates is a mission-driven law firm dedicated to protecting children and empowering parents — particularly in Black, Latino, and immigrant communities — as they navigate life’s hardest transitions with strategy, clarity, and compassion.

We focus on high-conflict custody, support, enforcement, and property division cases, always through a child-first lens. We also offer select immigration services for families working to build secure, lawful futures in the U.S. Our clients are parents who care deeply about their children and want clarity, protection, and peace — not just legal paperwork.

Our firm is actively transitioning to a full flat-fee model to give families financial predictability and to allow attorneys to focus on resolution, not the clock. We’re also in the process of upgrading our internal systems — including workflows, task management, and communication protocols — to better support flat-fee delivery and long-term client satisfaction.

We’re hiring now because we want those systems to reflect the real needs of the attorneys who use them. You won’t be dropped into chaos — but you also won’t be handed something rigid and outdated. We’re looking for someone ready to lead, collaborate, and help shape what comes next.

As a remote-first firm with strong roots in Houston and Austin, we offer the flexibility of a distributed team with the impact of deeply local representation. Attorneys are given meaningful autonomy, a full docket of active cases, and the support of a small, committed, values-driven team.

We are currently hiring a Senior Family Law Attorney to take over a Houston-based docket and serve as a strategic, steady presence for families who need guidance and protection. If you love practicing family law, care deeply about client experience, and enjoy improving systems while getting results — we’d love to talk.
