Amina Rashad, Esq. is the founder of Amana Legal PC, a multi-state law firm focused on Islamic estate planning, mediation, and strategic legal counsel for Muslim families and institutions.
As both a seasoned litigation attorney and a student of Islamic scholarship, Amina offers a rare dual perspective: one grounded in the realities of the legal system, and one rooted in a deep commitment to faith-based principles. Her work centers on helping clients and organizations navigate complex legal issues while remaining aligned with their values.
Amina began her career in matrimonial and family law litigation, where she handled high-conflict custody disputes, financial litigation, and deeply contested family matters. That work exposed, in real time, how and where legal planning fails, unclear agreements, absent structures, and preventable disputes escalating into litigation. It is precisely this experience that led her to focus on proactive estate planning, mediation, and institutional counsel, using what she learned on the “fix it” end to build systems that prevent problems before they arise.
Having seen how disputes unfold in court, Amina structures estate plans, marital agreements, and institutional frameworks with a litigation-informed lens, identifying risks early, anticipating points of conflict, and building systems designed to hold under pressure.
In addition to advising individuals and families, Amina serves as general counsel to Islamic institutions, providing guidance on governance, internal disputes, compliance, and organizational structure. She also offers mediation services for families and community matters, helping parties reach resolution with clarity, dignity, and discretion.
Through Amana Legal PC, her work spans wills and trusts, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, mediation, and advisory services for organizations, each grounded in a commitment to both legal integrity and ethical responsibility.
At its core, her work is about preserving trust, within families, within institutions, and in the responsibilities entrusted to us.
