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.!

Best attorney and paralegal, have no doubt.

If you need an attorney that will actually fight for you, who genuinely cares, communicative, it’s Ms. Moran. She is the one. Very professional, and purely exceptional at her job. Sky, her paralegal, they don’t get any better. Made our super stressful and complicated experience an absolute breeze.... Just like Ms. Moran, Sky genuinely cares and she will make sure you know it. Always going to extra mile to communicate, to make you feel heard, and to show you the way, step by step. Absolute professional. The Sunday at 10pm kind of hard worker, for you. Don’t take the chance of being in the opposite room of these two professionals. By the end, you’ll feel like family, and have the results you were looking for, have no doubt. My wife, children, and me will forEVER be grateful for these two ladies, and the team behind them. Don’t wait, hire this team now!

Excellent attorneys that fight for you and the best of your family. Very happy with the job they did..... thank you!

My son wanted to come live with me and I went into the Moran law firm and asked for advice and they were very kind to give me all the details and information that I was gonna need and right then I hired them. It was a long process but at the end it was all a success because the attorneys there Haven... and Miss Moran both attended my final trial and faught till the end for me to have my son living with me and still see dad for visiting. If I would have to do this again I would go back to the Moran Law firm to rehire them and have them represent for me and my family they did an excellent job wonderful job and we were very pleased and happy with the final result. Thank you so much to the Moran law firm

For anyone seeking an honest, highly ethical and completely knowledgeable attorney I would recommend Lisa Moran. There was never any hesitation when I had questions about the legal system; and I did have many questions. I was never ignored, put off or felt as though my concerns were silly or unwarran...ted. Lisa worked hard to promote my families best interest in a recent divorce where child custody was involved. She helped facilitate the transition of my family in a positive and healthy manner. Her recommendations and kind spirit eased my mind many times over! I have stated how kind Ms. Moran is but let me say this, she is a spitfire when in the courtroom! She is so confident and strong that I was able to be the same. The staff at the Moran Law Firm as a whole works in unison and will give their very best to each case....of that I am sure. There's not a winner in a divorce but I am pleased with the outcome of my case.

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.
