Can't say enough good things about this man

This man changed my family's life., and most importantly- the life of a little girl who needed an advocate fighting for her wellbeing. We had consulted multiple attorneys in the area for years in regards to getting custody of my stepdaughter. We were told the same thing over and over again- great ca...se, just not in West Texas (as it was a dad seeking custody from mom among other factors). And then we met Lane. He was supportive and encouraging from the beginning. For the first time in years we had hope that we could change my stepdaughter's circumstances. It wasn't easy. We had numerous bumps along the road, and thought about giving up many times as we went up against a grueling and sluggish judicial system. He kept the hope alive however, and in the end, we walked away with more than we had hoped for. He was caring and attentive when we needed him (not just when was convenient for his schedule). He was knowledgeable and had answers to our questions, and strategies for concerns. He was more than fair financially (I think he received far less than he deserved), and nice in the courtroom when he needed to be, but fierce when that was needed. I can't recommend him enough. Appeals are his speciality, but his expertise and character make him formidable in many arenas. I can vouch for the family law arena. Do yourself a favor and give him a call.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
