Best law team in East Texas

I went through a horrible divorce, and the Moran law firm was with me every step of the way, there expertise and experience was worth every penny. The Moran team was very knowledgeable of all case details and ended up giving me full custody of my son, and iam a dad so let that sink in. Very very pro...fessional and honestly just great people to be around. My paralegal Angelina Hopkins was absolutely amazing and never missed any details of my case and always answered my calls and questions.

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 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!

Moran Law is amazing!

I hired Lisa Moran and Sarina Hager to represent me and my 3 year old son in a child custody modification suit that was initiated by my son's mother. Over the 9 months it took to finish the case this firm exceeded my expectations! They were very attentive to my concerns and the best interests of my s...on. My custody went from a 50/50 custody order to me having primary custody in the final orders. I was able to reach my attorneys at pretty much any hour of the day, if needed. They were very generous with their time and helped to build a very strong case to protect my son going forward. They are certainly not the cheapest attorneys in turn but, you get what you pay for when it comes to that. Cheap is not good and good is not cheap! Even after the final orders of my case they have stayed in touch and helped with some of the aftermath as the dust has settled from a very hectic and trying year. If you are looking for a truly helpful and dedicated team then these are the people you want! God loving and God fearing attorneys!

Awesome

I had a complicated child custody case and searched around for lawyers to help with it. After research, reviews, and talking to several firms I decided to go with The Moran Law firm. The first thing I noticed was the entire staff was personable and they were more than willing to help with my case. Th...ey kept me updated, informed, and stayed on top of every issue that arose. I would hire them again in a heartbeat if I needed a family lawyer.
