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.!

The Best!

I hired Lisa Moran to represent me in my child support modification case and she was phenomenal! Lisa and her exemplary team worked hard to understand my case and ease my anxiety regarding the process. They prepared me for what to expect and never left me alone, while handling all communication with ...the other party. Lisa's experience, professionalism, and confidence were reassuring and key to procuring the outcome that is in the best interest of my children. I recommend Moran Law Firm to anyone who wants a strong and successful attorney on their side. Thank you Lisa and Team for your care and dedication - you are the best!

Intelligent, fierce and confident!

My name is Brittany Davis, I’m 23 years old, I’m a single mother of 3 and I work for a church children’s ministry I needed my custody agreement modified for my 2 year old daughter. Lisa Moran and her staff were incredible and on point and an absolute blessing to me and my family and were able to qu...ickly get us the safety and peace we needed. They are always very reassuring and answered any questions I had and made me feel confident and at ease. Thanks to Moran Law firm we are now able to move forward with our new life in peace and feel safe again! If you are in need of a Family Lawyer this is definitely the place to go, I wouldn’t want any other firm to work on my case other than the Moran Law Firm! They are absolutely the BEST! Words can not describe how thankful I am for them.

Faith Filled Team!

I was referred to Moran Law Firm by Kroscher & Kroscher in Longview, Tx. From the beginning of 2020 this firm and each employee within has worked with me hand in hand threw this long custody battle! I was blessed by the employees each listening & ultimately fighting for my rights as a parent. They en...couraged me threw Covid19 cancellations & prayed with me & for me! I truly believe God put me in their path knowing I would need a faith filled team! I'm forever thankful for the team at Moran Law Form as well as the results produced threw our custody pursuit!

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!
