Very astute and willing to go the extra mile.

We hired Ms. Canterberry in an emergency custody situation for my grandson. She had no qualms about immediately jumping in and doing everything she could to help us even though we were battling another state. She was very caring and made herself available to us; it seemed, at all times. She is very ...patient and very aggresive when she needs to be. I can never thank her enough for all she did for us.

The Best Resource and Advocate You Can Have!

Last year during a family tragedy my daughter's father refused to return her from a regular visitation. I reached out to Lisa totally distraught, scared and unsure of what to do. Lisa was very patient and helped me get myself together. Lisa worked with me immediately to set the steps in motion to... file papers and complete the necessary processes to get my daughter back and establish legal orders going forward, so this doesn't happen again. Lisa was my advocate through the entire process and was always available when I needed her. I really can't express how much I value having someone like her with her expertise and badassery on my side. Lisa really saved me during one of the most difficult times in my life and she is the first person I will call if I ever need family legal services again, and she is the first person I will recommend to anyone I know who needs help! She is just amazing!

Results Driven, Trustworthy, Ethical, Reliable

I hired Lisa to help me with a high conflict divorce and custody conflict. To be honest, I saw her reviews and thought they were written by clients in exchange for an incentive or discount. After taking a leap of faith. Let's just say, that now I am review #76. My initial consultation with Lisa was... awesome, as a father in one of the more high conflict cases in Texas to date, Lisa impressed me most by being pro-active, listening to my concerns but most importantly setting clear expectations without over promising just to a retainer like most attorneys do. To be honest, and put things into perspective. Lisa is simply an amazing person that just happens to practice family law. Unlike most attorney's she will explain every detail of your case via email or over phone. Not sure if this is a "plus" for Lisa, but during my high conflict case, unpredictable situations arises and Lisa was available every time to make sure that I make the right decision and not compromise our position in front of the courts. Lisa is a strategy queen that pro-actively prepped my for my case before I could review opposing documents. This relieved me of so much stress as I have been dealing with a nasty divorce and then a custody modification less than 6 months later. I am thankful she didnt charge me double because she was not only my attorney, but also my counselor during this very bad situation. At times I believe she called me more than I had a chance to call her to ensure that I had a clear understanding of my case and any filings that were made. She always asked for my input and always explained the "why" as well as best case and worse case scenarios. Traditionally amazing and savvy. I am thankful that I decided to hire Lisa and trust her to have my best interest as my previous attorneys, wasted my time, $34,000 dollars and compromised my relationship with my daughter. If you are serious about improving your relationship with your kids I would highly recommend her. I will definitely keep her on a retainer for sure. She is worth every nickel.....

Peace of mind

After feeling like my previous lawyer wasn't giving my case the attention it needed I began looking for another. I called Lisa and she called me right back. She took time to hear my situation. I could tell I wasn't just a number. She was in my corner. We are done with our case but if I need legal he...lp in the future I will not look for another attorney. Lisa Canterberry is by far the best.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"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!"
