Tammy attended and graduated from the University of Texas, School of Law in 1986, clerked for the Honorable Melinda Harmon, U.S. District Judge, Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, and practiced litigation at an international firm Fulbright & Jaworski, one of the top litigation firm in the country in the 1990's, in Houston, Texas for a total of eight years.  In 1997, Tammy founded the Tammy Tran Law Firm to serve the Asian-American community by giving its members a voice in the American justice system. Over the past two decades, Tammy has been recognized for her activism inside and outside the courtroom, in matters of broad national consequence as well as cases of local interest, on behalf of thousands of clients whose causes and concerns has been the focus of Tammy’s career and life.  While her legal abilities have brought her renown, it is Tammy’s Christian love and compassion—especially for the poor and oppressed—that have defined her life.  Her clients have been her cause, but her Christian calling has been her life’s work.
