About Brian

Brian Nguyen has spent much of his life traveling between the Sunshine and Lonestar State. Born in Long Beach, California, Brian was raised in Midland, Texas, and attended the same high school as President George Bush (43rd) and Tommy Lee Jones…though regrettably, not at the same time. A diehard Trojan fan, Brian inevitably found his way back west, skipping his senior year and enrolling early at the University of Southern California as a pre-med student.

Tragically, a weak stomach for blood and Chemistry II forced Brian to abandon his aspirations to become a Pediatrician, eventually leading him back to Texas for law school. Brian graduated from the University of Texas at Austin School of Law in 2004 and immediately began working as an Assistant District Attorney. During his tenure, Brian successfully prosecuted a myriad of cases ranging from CPS and mental health matters to misdemeanor, felony, and juvenile dockets. After leaving the District Attorney’s Office in 2007, Brian Nguyen practiced at a renowned labor and employment firm in Houston. 

In 2011, Brian founded Nguyen & Chen LLP and assisted clients navigate personal injury, criminal defense and commercial and business litigation matters for the next 11 years.  Brian is now the Managing Partner for Universal Law Group and continues to oversee the criminal defense and personal injury divisions.  He remains steadfast in his commitment to ULG’s philosophy of delivering effective and efficient service to our clients.
