The first (and only) attorney in her family and a world traveler, Alicia brings her work ethic, creativity, and over 24 years of experience in meeting your legal needs.

Alicia Matsushima < ah-LEE-see-ya  mat-soo-SHE-mah > 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 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 Program 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 UK 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 24 years. After working at several commercial litigation firms for 15 years where she honed her litigation skills, Alicia opened her own law practice in 2012 and has never looked back. Alicia enjoys owning her own business and has developed a diverse clientele as a successful rainmaker in her field.  She believes that the greatest benefit of being your own boss is that you can reap the rewards of your own hard work–and the sky is the limit.

Alicia founded the Invicta Law Firm to provide personalized attention to her clients in the areas of real estate, title, and commercial litigation. Alicia’s law practice caters to a vast array of clients, ranging from individuals and small family-owned businesses to large, “Fortune 500” companies. Alicia’s key to success is her tenacity, work ethic, and attention to detail.  Her goal is to provide her clients with an unparalleled experience that is specifically tailored to the complexities of each case.

In 2019, Alicia was honored as a Sustaining 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 2021, 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, she enjoys watching “The Beautiful Game,” especially the English Premier League and Argentina football, drinking coffee, driving her customized Jeep, and spending time with her friends and family.  

Alicia invites you to reach out to the Invicta Law Firm for your real estate and commercial needs.  She looks forward to working with you.
