Great Attorney

I want to take this opportunity to thank Natalie Moran and her team at Moran Law in Tyler, TX, for a work well done. Your dedication to ensuring that your client is treated fairly within the constraints of the law, and that justice prevails is admirable and speaks volumes of your knowledge of the la...w. I’m happy that this case is over after 8 months of representing me. The focus can now be turned to each of us playing our respective roles as parents to ensure that our son is well taken care of and that he receives great education as was agreed upon. I strongly recommend Moran Law for anyone in search of a great Attorney representation in a divorce/separation situation.

STO Child Custody Case

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t say enough good things about The Moran Law Firm, PLLC. From day one, my attorney Natalie Norelle, Sr. Paralegal Julie Fitzgerald, and the entire team made me feel comfortable and confident about my case. They were easy to talk to, quick to respond, and always explained everythin...g in a way I could understand. What stood out most was how much they genuinely cared. I never felt like “just another client” — Natalie took the time to truly understand my situation and went above and beyond to support me throughout the whole process. Thanks to their hard work and dedication, I achieved a result I’m very happy with. I would highly recommend The Moran Law Firm, PLLC to anyone looking for a team that is not only professional but also truly cares about the people they represent.

Exceptional!!!

I can't say enough about the level of experience, knowledge, and care the Moran Law Firm provided for me during one of the most difficult times in my life. Ms. Moran was as professional and hard working as they come. She fought hard for me and was very compassionate during the entire processes. My P...aralegal Angel was the glue that kept everything together! Nothing got passed her and she worked tirelessly to stay on top of my case. She ensured that everything remained organized and in order. Nothing was missed and I simply don't think the Moran Law Firm would operate at the level it does without the dedication of Angel paired with the experience and quality of Ms. Moran. During some of the most anxious times of my life and a process I have never been through Angel had always there to respond in a timely fashion with anything I needed. She always was able to explain everything to me in a way I would understand and kept me everything in line. I truly thank Ms. Moran and Angel for the exceptional level of service and care I was given during the most difficult time of my life!

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.
