Amazing Team of Women!

When I was looking for an attorney to represent me in my divorce case and protective order, I had gotten so many recommendations and referrals to Moran Law Firm and I knew that they were the perfect group of ladies for the job. They all worked so hard and so fast to help get me what I wanted and need...ed for my daughter. They are some of the strongest group of woman I have had the privilege to work with. I am very grateful to their entire team for their help finalizing things. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them if you want a serious legal team that will fight for you.

Professional from start to finish

I could write a novel, however in the interest of being concise if you want a professional, experienced attorney who listens to your needs, you will be hard pressed to find a better attorney than Lisa Moran. Her staff was wonderful, and every phone call was handled in a timely manner and any informa...tion given was explained perfectly. Phyllis was quick answer my questions and return my calls and she explained the process very well. The advice received was excellent, the structure was placed and everything was handled seamlessly. I have zero regrets hiring Lisa Moran for my divorce and highly recommend anyone seeking a family law attorney at least speak with LIsa and her staff before making the decision to hire anyone else. 5 stars out of 5, only because there's no option for a 10 star review!

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

Intelligent and Efficient

The last thing I wanted was more stress when going through my divorce. Lisa made the whole process so simple and quick. I highly recommend Lisa Moran.

Blessing

I used Lisa Moran's Law Firm for both my Divorce and Custody Modification Trial. Lisa was not my actual Lawyer, but she was always so caring and compassionate towards my situation. Even while taking care of her clients, Lisa was always aware of my proceedings and would offer advice to me while I wa...s in the waiting room. Lisa even went out of her way to personally send correspondence to opposing counsel on my behalf. Lisa is a extremely professional Attorney, but has the ability to make you feel as if you are one of the family. I do believe that God put Lisa on my path through this unfortunate journey!! Thank you Lisa for everything you did for myself and my boys!! God Bless!!!

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.
