Great Attorney

I want to take this opportunity to thank Natalie Moran and her team at Moran Law in Tyler, TX, for a work well done. Your dedication to ensuring that your client is treated fairly within the constraints of the law, and that justice prevails is admirable and speaks volumes of your knowledge of the la...w. I’m happy that this case is over after 8 months of representing me. The focus can now be turned to each of us playing our respective roles as parents to ensure that our son is well taken care of and that he receives great education as was agreed upon. I strongly recommend Moran Law for anyone in search of a great Attorney representation in a divorce/separation situation.

A Life-Changing Experience with Moran Law Firm

Working with Lisa Moran, Senior Attorney and Owner of Moran Law Firm, and her exceptional legal team was nothing short of extraordinary. Their support throughout the adoption of my younger brother was deeply personal, profoundly professional, and truly life-changing. From our very first in...teraction, Ms. Moran and her team demonstrated an unwavering commitment to excellence. Their communication was impeccable—every update delivered promptly through the Clio app, emails, and personal phone calls. We were never left wondering; we were consistently informed, reassured, and cared for. What sets Moran Law Firm apart is not just their legal expertise, but their heart. They serve families with dignity, precision, and compassion. Each team member was prepared, knowledgeable, and fully invested in our case. Their seamless coordination and unified approach gave us confidence every step of the way. Ms. Moran herself is a rare gem—an advocate, a leader, and a source of strength. Her personal involvement and genuine care made all the difference. She didn’t just help us navigate a legal process; she helped make our family whole. If I could give six stars, I would. Moran Law Firm is the gold standard in legal service, and I will be forever grateful for their role in one of the most meaningful chapters of our lives. With deepest appreciation, Johnson Family

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.

Great Legal Team

Lisa and Natalie are both professional and both bring a wealth of knowledge. I needed up using Natalie for Final Trial. Both attorneys are amazing. The entire staff were so supportive and knowledgeable. I have already recommend Moran to a friend and she loved them as well and hired them.

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!

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.
