Great Advocates

The Moran team was the absolute support I needed and got. Lisa was warm, kind and grounded when I was going through the consultation with her. She reassured me and was very sensitive to my status of having to start over in my life, which was something I was concerned about and was put at ease. Julie ...was also just as kind and warm, and was on top of keeping me in the loop of what was happening with my case. She was always a joy to engage with, which made the personal hard time I was going through, more bearable. I felt like I really had people in my corner. Thank you so much for being wonderful advocates.

When life becomes complicated, it matters greatly who is standing beside you. I’m grateful Lisa Moran was standing beside me.

Lisa Moran provided exceptional legal guidance during a very challenging period of my life. When people seek legal representation, it is usually because they are facing complicated and stressful circumstances, and Lisa handled my matter with professionalism, clarity, and steady judgment throughout th...e process. She communicates clearly, responds promptly, and takes the time to ensure her clients understand both the legal issues and the practical implications of the decisions involved. Her experience and calm approach bring confidence to what can otherwise feel like an overwhelming situation. Most importantly, Lisa treats her clients with respect and integrity while working diligently to protect their interests. I am grateful for her guidance and would strongly recommend Lisa Moran and The Moran Law Firm to anyone seeking a capable and trustworthy attorney. When life becomes complicated, it matters greatly who is standing beside you. I’m grateful Lisa Moran was standing beside me. — Terry K.

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.
