Do you have a defect or “cloud” on title? We can help.
A title defect or “cloud” on title often arises from a gap or “break” in the chain of title. The gap or “break” can be caused by, for example, an unrecorded deed the chain of title, a missing signature on a deed from a prior owner of the property (such as a spouse or an heir), or an unreleased lien caused by a mortgage, a judgment, or unpaid ad valorem taxes. Additionally, a title defect or “cloud” may arise due to a hostile ownership claim by another person who thinks they own your property. This is a very serious problem that needs careful handling.

Alicia Matsushima (Hear My Name) was born in New York City, and spent her early years living in Los Angeles, California, and London, England. The daughter of a mechanical engineer, Alicia grew up as an expatriate in Saudi Arabia and became a world traveler in her teens. Alicia’s international travel and multi-cultural background gives her a unique perspective in practicing law.
Alicia graduated from Baylor University in 1994, where she received her Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology and was a member of the Psi Chi National Honor Society. Alicia graduated from law school at the University of Notre Dame in 1997, where she completed trial advocacy taught by the National Institute of Trial Advocacy (NITA) and two externships as a public defender and a mediator. During her second year of study, Alicia lived abroad in Notting Hill, London, England, and participated in the Concannon Programme of International Law at Notre Dame’s London campus. From 2002-2004, Alicia proudly served her alma mater and held the positions of Regional Coordinator and Student Recruitment Director for the Notre Dame Asian Pacific Alumni Board of Directors. In 2011, Alicia obtained her United Kingdom law license and was admitted as a Solicitor to the Senior Courts of England and Wales.
After graduating from law school in 1997, Alicia passed the Texas bar and lived primarily in Houston, as the oil industry brought her family to Texas. Alicia obtained her law license on November 7, 1997 and has practiced law in Texas for over 26 years, starting her career in the area of insurance defense litigation. After working at a boutique commercial litigation firm for 10 years where she honed her litigation skills, Alicia opened her own law practice in 2012 and has never looked back.

Alicia is very proud of the fact that the majority of her clients come from word of mouth referrals from prior clients and counsel with whom she has litigated.
In 2019, Alicia was honored as a Life Fellow of the Texas Bar Foundation, a designation granted to only one-third of 1% of lawyers practicing in the State of Texas each year based on their outstanding professional achievements in their field of law. From 2016 through 2023, Alicia has been recognized by her peers as one of Houston’s best commercial attorneys by Houstonia Magazine. She is also a member of the Texas Land Title Association (TLTA) and the Defense Research Institute (DRI).
Alicia loves the big city life and is proud to call the diverse city of Houston her home for over two decades now. In 2015, Alicia bought her “forever” home in the Washington Corridor area of Houston, where she lives with her three rescue dogs. During her free time, Alicia loves fashion, long walks, 80’s rock music, watching “The Beautiful Game,” especially Manchester United football in the English Premier League and the 2022 World Champions Argentina (Alicia is super proud of her Argentine heritage), drinking fresh coffee (Alicia likes to roast her own coffee beans), driving her customized Jeep, and spending time with her friends and family.
Alicia is very grateful for the success of Invicta and is very thankful for her clients. She invites you to reach out to Invicta and looks forward to meeting you.
Invicta’s clients are appreciative of Alicia’s reasonable rates. An effective attorney is one that is also affordable.
