Houston, TX family law attorney Winnie Cheung shares why she became a lawyer and what she does when she’s not practicing law. She shares that she became a lawyer because she wanted to help people, and she was especially drawn to family law. When she was younger, she witnessed her uncle and aunt go through a difficult and contentious divorce, and that experience left a lasting impression on her. Seeing how painful and complex that process was inspired her to help families navigate similar challenges with compassion and clarity.

She decided to pursue a career in law with a focus on family law, and she remains grateful for that decision. To her, it is a privilege to guide families through one of the most difficult periods in their lives and help them find stability and resolution.

Outside of work, she enjoys baking and is often in her kitchen experimenting with new cookie or dessert recipes. To balance her sweet hobby, she also enjoys staying active—biking and taking salsa dance lessons to unwind and stay healthy.
