Knowledgeable, Kind, Trustworthy, Simply the best

Ms. Canterberry helped me with a retroactive child support/family case. I looked around at many different lawyers and some just didn't seem to knowledgeable about the situation. I was directed towards retaining Lisa and after reading her reviews and speaking to her I was sold. She helped me feel so c...omfortable in the steps and was so patient and kind. I was so nervous but after speaking with Lisa she always made me feel so much better and when the day of the hearing came she blew it away. Everything went smoothly and she handled it so gracefully. She was so sharp and quick to respond to any questions and I could feel her taking care of myself and my wishes and hopes...It was great! I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer and I would recommend her to anyone who is in need of a family lawyer. She truly cares and works really hard for you and your case outcome.

Professional and Honest Advice

Ms. Canterberry gave me her opinion on a post divorce matter, she was honest and professional. I wish I found her when I was in the process of my divorce, the Attorney I used made too many mistakes that I have to live with.

Excellent and trustworthy choice

I was recommended to hire Lisa from a friend who had used her services a couple years ago. Going through a divorce, especially with children involved, is one of the hardest things anyone will ever go through and I do not wish it on my worst enemy. However, that being said, Lisa made the process as ...painless as possible. She listened to my wishes as her client and explained everything clearly and concisely ANYTIME I had questions. Her response time was surprisingly quick. Ensuring my child was well taken care of was not only my top priority, but Lisa made it her mission as well. In the end, if you have to get a divorce, I highly recommend Lisa. She is trustworthy, thorough, and timely. In Texas, the time from which you file to when you can receive a finalized divorce is 60 days. Mine was finalized on day 61 - the first possible day. And the proceeding only took 4 minutes. (We timed it.) Best decision I ever made was hiring Lisa during one of the hardest decisions I ever had to make.

Hardworking, trustworthy and professional attorney

Just want to express deepest level of respect and admiration I have for Lisa Canterberry. She is compassionate and truly professional. The charge is almost half cheaper comparing to other attorneys, but yet, Lisa is dedicated, detail, and keeps me well informed of all options, as well as the laws per...taining to granddaughter custody case. Her level of devotion is unmatched. Lisa is honest, hardworking, fair, attentive and her response times are spot on. Our family is truly blessed with Lisa, as our new personal friend, and Lisa, as our trustworthy attorney.

Genuine and Honest

Lisa made me feel comfortable right away. She very patient when she explained the process I was about to enter and answered all my questions. She works hard for you at all times! I called her one night because my ex was giving me trouble with the custody arrangement and she emailed him that very minu...te and got it taken care of. No one will take care of you like her!

"I met Lisa because we worked together for a client on a family law/enforcement/jurisdictional issue. My client found her because he needed a lawyer in Texas and I practice in Hawaii. She is wonderful. She is smart, prompt, nice, and very reasonably priced. She won each of several hearings for our client. She also acted reasonably and professionally with opposing counsel, even when his conduct tested her. I would recommend her to anyone!"
