Fights for you

Moran law firm team was everything I needed when I got to court. I was unsure about the entire ordeal, but Lisa knows what she is doing. She is a force to reckon with. I am beyond grateful for Lisa, Julie, Sky, Natalie, and the rest of the crew for standing by my side, giving me my voice back, and pr...otecting my son and I. You all are amazing and thank you for fighting for us! I will be coming back for legal help when I need it.!

Dad in the state of Texas

2 years ago my husband went into a very fierce and fiery custody battle. Being in the state of Texas he didn’t think it was even possible to try to get 50/50 custody. He found Lisa after a horrible first time around with another attorney for his divorce. He met consulted with her and came home saying... she was willing to help him. After NUMEROUS ups and downs and going through multiple ringers she won us sole custody of his kids. During these years we suffered heartache and frustrations. Lisa and Sky took us in as if we were family and walked through the ENTIRE process with us. Words cannot begin to explain how much they eased our mind and made us feel as if dads had just as much rights for their kids. Lisa upheld every word and did not disappoint in any aspect.

Absolutely the best!

Lisa and her team went above and beyond my expectations fighting for custody of my grandson. Absolutely knowledgeable, invested,and determined. They were a force to be reckoned with, and the best part is they put my grandson's needs and welfare first, they listened, they cared, they got my grandson b...ack to our family. Thank you Lisa and your whole team! You really are the best!

BEST ATTORNEY

I'm writing this review with a FULL heart. Because of Lisa's knowledge and willingness to fight for me and my babies, I got EVERYTHING I wanted in my divorce and got my children (Twins) WITHOUT stepping foot in a courtroom. I KNOW Lisa spent LONG LATE NIGHT HOURS working on my case and I appreciate ...ALL she put it in. I can't continue this review without acknowledging the Senior paralegal who was with me every step from beginning to end (every phone call or email) to answer my questions and to help through this painful process JULIE FITZGERALD!!!! THANK YOU for being patient with me at times, getting everything to Lisa QUICKLY, and for taking the time to make sure we got what was best for my children. I can't truly thank you all enough for all you did for us. Yall will always hold a special place in my heart for all of this. Lisa and her team were worth every penny spent #bestattorney #FIERCEinthefight #moranlawfirm -Elizabeth C

Great Attorneys and Great People!

I retained Lisa Moran for a child custody dispute and I could not possibly be any more impressed with her and her teams level of knowledge, professionalism and genuine care they all took with my case. Lisa, Promise, Julie, Sky, Nina and the rest of the team provided me with with a great deal of hope ...and ultimately, results that no other attorney had provided in the past. I absolutely recommend Lisa and her great team!

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.
