Husein Hadi was born and raised in the Alief neighborhood of Houston, Texas. As a son of two immigrant parents, he was inspired early on to pursue a career helping others. Mr. Hadi attended and graduated from Debakey High School for Health Professions with a desire to become a cardiologist. After high school, Mr. Hadi enrolled at the University of Houston. During this time, he participated in several student organizations including the Phi Alpha Delta organization, along with starting and operating his first business. After discovering his passion for persuasion along with continuing his development of successful leadership skills, Mr. Hadi decided his talents were better utilized helping others in another capacity than the medical field.
In 2006, Mr. Hadi graduated from the Bauer College of Business and in that same year, he began law school at the Thurgood Marshall School of Law with intentions to practice as a personal injury attorney. While in law school, Mr. Hadi interned with The Gutierrez Law Firm, a prominent personal injury law firm in South Texas, under the guidance of Baldemar Gutierrez. In this position, he learned the tools in order to best represent clients of personal injury claims; the need to vigorously advocate for injured clients while protecting their best interest-the experience at this internship provided the framework for The Hadi Law Firm.
As a dedicated intern at The Gutierrez Law Firm, Mr. Hadi demonstrated an equal commitment to his studies allowing him to obtain enough credits in advance of his graduating class in order to sit for the February 2009 Texas Bar Exam. Upon passing the bar exam and earning his license to practice law from The State of Texas, Mr. Hadi founded The Hadi Law Firm. From the day of injury until the final settlement, Mr. Hadi provides knowledge, efficiency, and individualized attention to each client’s case. Advocating without compromising, when it comes to having your best interests and rights protected in difficult situations…Mr. Hadi makes it happen.
Mr. Hadi is a car enthusiast and likes to play racquet ball in his free time.
