This is only attorney who called in response to my message. Even though she couldn't take my case, she took the time to call and explain why she couldn't help me and suggested where I needed to look instead.

Lori has handled both mental health and estate planning matters for our family. She is smart, empathetic and passionate in her advice and her advocacy. I am also an attorney, and I have recommended and continue to recommend Lori to anyone needing a guardianship or a will or trust.
"I have known Lori her entire career. She is a great advocate who strives to achieve the best possible results for her clients. Thumbs up!"
"I have known Lori for years and I strongly endorse her. She is always professional, hard working and creative. Lori is very easy to talk with and she is extremely knowledgeable with regard to estate planning laws in Texas. I would personally refer my family and friends to Lori for any estate planning legal issues."
"I have consulted with Lori on appellate issues in a few of her cases. She has a very impressive knowledge of the law and does an outstanding job advocating on behalf of her clients."
"Lori is an excellent attorney focusing her primary practice areas in probate, estate planning, guardianships, and trusts. In addition, Lori has a very successful history handling mental health cases for many, many years. I’ve worked together with Lori on probate cases that were in litigation and she’s always been a very aggressive and diligent attorney. She really cares about her clients and it shows. I highly recommend Lori."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Lori all my life and have worked with her on many cases. Lori is always professional and her knowledge of Estate Planning and Probate is exceptional. I recommend Lori to anyone who has an Estate Planning or Probate need."
"I endorse this lawyer. Lori is very experienced in the areas of probate law, mental illness and estate planning. She has demonstrated superior knowledge, skill and competence such that she is regularly appointed by judges in guardianship matters and as an attorney ad litem to represent the best interest of those before the court who are unrepresented. Lori really cares about her clients, and I would strongly recommend her to family and friends."
"For over 5 years, I have known Lori to be extremely diligent lawyer. She is known to have an unparallel focus on each and every probate and estate law case she handles. She also has an unmatched quality of assisting the less fortunate where others look the other way. Lori has served as an Ad Litem attorney for over 10 years in countless indigent mental hearings cases of patients committed to state mental institutions. I would recommend her services without hesitation."
"Lori is a great lawyer who brings much needed compassion to probate, guardianship and mental illness cases. This compassion coupled with specialized legal acumen make for a great combination that no doubt put the client in the best possible hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Lori as an attorney and counselor."
