This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Unconditionally recommended disciplined, involved, professional, an excellent guide who’s available in tense moments.

She is disciplined, Board Certified (it’s a serious thing), professional, smart, courteous, pragmatic and admirable. It is a difficult situation when children are in the middle. She absolutely did fantastic. She was available when I needed a quick phone call advice. She is very personable, kind and h...elpful. Ms. Garza did a lot of hard work to make things go smooth. She got things done for me and most importantly for my kids. I unconditionally and whole heartedly recommend her. She will advise you when to reach/accept the offer . She has the courage to stop you from wasting time and money. She is diligent and fast and responsive.

Highly Recommended

We had an amazing experience working with Lisa Garza. She represented my cousin in divorce & Child custody matters. Working with Lisa is very comforting for my cousin during a very painful divorce process. She worked extremely well with the opposing counsel and took our requests to the table to attai...n a winning outcome in a very frustrating divorce. I appreciate the work she did for us and hands down will recommend her in the future!!

Get her as your lawyer before the other side does

I contacted Ms Garza to handle a change in custody for one of my two sons, who both lived with their mom after I moved out of the immediate area after said son had issues with his mom's husband. I thought I had a horrible uphill battle ahead of me, until she represented me. Lisa broke it down for me ...what we could do, and I could tell right away I made the right decision. Her name alone let's the other side know you didn't come to screw around. She is dynamite, aggressive yet personable to her clients, and her associate and office staff are first class. I never had to worry about a phone call or question not being answered or returned. She gave me great guidance, and made suggestions that suited my son and me for now and in the future. She is no non-sense with her approach, and it seems most opposing attorney's are more than willing to work with her toward a mutual solution, but never did she compromise what mattered most to me. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone about to take the monster of divorce on, especially with children involved. I was made to feel like she had no other clients in the world, that I was the only one. I was so grateful I had the opportunity to retain Ms. Garza, and you will be too. She is fantastic to negotiate outside the court room, but if it comes to needing an in court force to be reckoned with, it's Ms. Garza.

Phenomenal Attorney!

Lisa, to say the least, is an angel!!! I used a different lawyer through my initial divorce process and custody order. A few months after our divorce was finally finalized, my ex husband decided to send me back to court once again (with ridiculous request and no legitimate cause). My family and I de...cided we wanted a lawyer to teach them a lesson and showed no mercy. We researched Many lawyers and decided Lisa was The one. Lisa shows an abundant amount of intelligence, sophistication, and class. She is well respected by everyone. She not only advises you to the best of her ability, but genuinely cares about your child. Don’t let her height fool you either, she’s an absolute beast in the court room. Our first lawyer left a lot of loose strings and vague statements in our initial order. I could be happier with our newer final order. My ex husband definitely learned his lesson regarding taking advantage of me. Lisa thank you for all you do , and continue to do ! The world needs more genuine, amazing lawyers like you.
