About Colin C.
Colin C. Norman trained first as a philosopher and then as a lawyer. He earned a B.A. in philosophy from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 2010 and completed his J.D. at The University of Texas School of Law in 2014. Those classroom years left him comfortable with complex texts and careful reasoning. They also set the stage for a practice that blends regulatory and fiduciary concerns.
After law school he joined Kean Miller LLP as an associate. He is licensed to practice in Texas. At the firm he has taken on assignments that require precise analysis and steady client communication. Colleagues describe him as someone who breaks problems into discrete issues and then addresses them directly.
Norman holds industry qualifications that extend beyond the law degree. He is a FINRA-registered General Securities Representative (Series 7) and an Investment Advisor Representative/Securities Agent (Series 66). Those registrations allow him to advise on securities transactions and to work with investment-advisory structures where legal and financial rules meet. He also maintains memberships in the American Inns of Court Texas Probate Law group, the Houston Young Lawyers Association, and the State Bar of Texas, which keep him connected to peers and procedural developments.
His practice to date has combined elements of probate and securities work. He advises clients on estate administration issues that raise legal and practical questions about fiduciary duty, asset transfer, and document interpretation. He also supports matters that involve broker-dealer or advisor regulatory frameworks, counseling clients on compliance and transactional mechanics. He approaches each file by mapping the legal issues, identifying the governing rules, and then testing options against clients’ objectives.
Norman’s background in philosophy shows through in how he frames problems. He tends to prioritize clarity in drafting and precision in analysis. That style is useful in contested probate matters and in regulatory filings, where a single phrase can change outcomes. He participates in professional groups to stay current on case law and rule updates and to exchange practical tips with other lawyers.
He practices at Kean Miller LLP and handles matters related to probate and securities.
