Najmu Mohseen

Najmu is an attorney with a breadth of legal and personal experiences and she incorporates that into her practice to ensure that she provides holistic, client-centered legal services. Her legal career, though relatively short, spans from complex civil rights litigation including matters relating to national security, inadequacies with the No Fly Listing Process, conditions of prison confinement, immigration removal defense, eviction, family law, and a bit of everything else.

Najmu started her legal career as an Equal Justice Works fellow focusing on ensuring access to religious accommodations for prisoners and detainees. Through this fellowship, several state and county-wide prison policies were amended, ensuring better conditions of confinement, in addition to individual accommodation advocacy. Though the subject matter is different, the skills required are the same. Najmu utilizes the skills learned from working with vulnerable populations like inmates—most of whom were Black and people of color—and those asylum seekers facing deportation, and strives to practice law in a trauma-informed way. Najmu understands that people ensnared in the family court system may be going through a traumatic time in their lives and may need a thoughtful ear, in addition to a sharp legal mind.
