Kind and Knowledgable Lawyer

Lisa was extremely capable and knowledgeable while working through the details to get custody sorted out with my father’s son. She helped a very stressful situation become one that was manageable, and made sure the custody order had provisions for me to ensure my son’s safety. I really appreciate all... the work Lisa did and would highly recommend using her for your legal needs.

There is not a better Lawyer on earth!

I was looking for a lawyer for a case where I already had my rights to see my daughter but my ex was not allowing me to see her. I was praying for a good attorney and at Church someone me “trust me you want to hire this lady” I called her and retained her. She was ready for everything, got all my bac...k child support wiped away and best of all I got to see my daughter again. My ex doesn’t even think about withholding anymore thanks to Lisa. She is a very rare lawyer and someone who always listens. Plus talk about a warrior on the court room. If there is a single mistake she will find it and use it for your advantage. She even prayed with me. Completely honest and won’t break the rules. When I tell you she’s the best, I mean she is the BEST!!!! Thank you Lisa for everything

A Wise Choice

Lisa can to mu through a friends refferal where I had little time to react and had to put my trust in her and my faith in the referal. She took on my divorce case, got up to speed quickly on what I needed and what needed to be done. We went through a case that was WAY out of the norm. She experienc...ed some stuff she had never dealt with in her career per her. Regardless she maintained her composure kept pushing through and got the case finished and close while meeting my requests. I again hired Lisa a few years later for custody. We were able to work together quickly through phone text and email alon to get this one done as well. She is knowledgeable, fast to reply, keeps you informed and is not going to sugar coat it and waste time. Exactly what I needed each time we have worked together. Thanks Lisa! CKL

Child custody

Lisa was my attorney for a custody case. It was not easy one, and one of the difficult cases. It was the hardest time for me. She was with me every step of the way. The most knowledgeable, professional, understanding, experienced attorney I have ever worked with. She made the process very easy and wo...rry free. She took care of everything. I knew that my case was in the best hands so was the result. If you need THE BEST attorney, and if you care about your family our your custody case, don’t look any further, she is the one. Because of Lisa, my family is whole again. She is the TOP family law attorney in TX.

Caring, knowledgable and attentive.

Lisa is an amazing attorney! Family court can be stressful, draining, and emotional but with the right representation you’ll never feel any of that. Lisa represented me in a successful custody battle. Although the process was very long, messy, and stressful…I never felt any of that. She is very knowl...edgeable of family law, attentive to her clients, and professional. If you looking for an amazing family attorney in Dallas, hire Lisa!

"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!"
