    26 years

22 years criminal trial experience. Current: Texas A&M School of Law Adjunct Professor,Felony/Misdemeanor Criminal Defense Attorney and Mental Health Attorney; Former Tarrant County Prosecutor (13 years); AVVO Top Rated 10.0 Defense AttorneyAVVO Client Favorite Award 2012 and 2014; 2012 - 2016 Fort Worth Magazine Lawyer Worth Knowing in Criminal Law.  These recognitions demonstrate Lisa's responsive and compassionate attitude toward her clients.  Lisa is one lawyer who truly endeavors to help her clients, who listens to her clients and answers every question with respect, then zealously fights to get the best possible resolution for every client.  She truly cares about her clients, plain and simple.  She is especially well-versed in mental disorders and mental illness, and regularly represents people involuntarily detained at psychiatric hospitals.  The probate judges appoint her to protect the rights of those brought in to JPS on mental health detention warrants.

When Lisa was a prosecutor in the Tarrant County District Attorney's office, she handled a myriad of felony, misdemeanor, juvenile and CPS trials, along with working in the narcotics, occupational driver's license, mental health units. Now as a defense attorney, she uses that experience to pick apart the State's case and negotiate aggressively with the prosecutor.  Lisa attends criminal defense seminars each year in multiple aspects of criminal law and as a result has qualified annually for membership in the College of the State Bar of Texas.  In 2018, Lisa Haines earned 55 hours of continuing legal education: Immigration (7 hours), Capital Murder Defense (18 hours) and Texas Criminal Trial College (30 hours).

Lisa Haines works proactively from the start of a case to get the best possible outcome for a client, sometimes even getting the charge reduced, dismissed or no-billed by the grand jury.  Grand Jurors review all felony charges to evaluate whether there was probable cause for that defendant to have been arrested.  Over the past 9 years as a defense attorney, Lisa has aggressively fought to get felony cases no-billed, i.e., dismissed (possibly eligible for expunction in the future). Lisa utilizes her many years as a Grand Jury prosecutor in the Tarrant County DA's Office, to find weaknesses in the DA's charges.  As a result, in 2016 and 2017, Lisa had more than two dozen serious felony cases no-billed by the GJ and/or dismissed by the prosecutor (First degree: Aggravated Robberies, Aggravated Assault SBI-Child, Aggravated Assault DW-Family Member; 2nd degree: Sexual Assault of Child, Aggravated Assaults DW; Third degree: Impeding Breathing-FM, Bodily Injury Public Servant).  In Nov. 2017, her client was facing 25 to life and 15 to life on two aggravated robbery felonies.  Lisa's persistence forced the prosecutor to reevaluate the merits of the State's case on the eve of trial.  Literally on the day of trial, the prosecutor dismissed all charges.  Lisa's client walked out a free man.  In April 2018, Lisa's client was facing charges of sexual assault and impeding breathing.  The alleged victim was the wife of Ms. Haines' client.  When the prosecutor realized Lisa was never backing down on her claim of vindictive and false allegations by the wife, the prosecutor took a more open-minded look at the allegations.  After again meeting with the accuser, the prosecutor dismissed both cases. Both of these defendants will be eligible to have their criminal charges forever erased ("expunged") from their criminal history.  She has fought to get several first and second degree felonies no-billed again in 2019.

Having handled thousands of cases over the past 22 years and having tried countless felony, misdemeanor, and juvenile trials, Lisa knows that the facts of every case are unique. Ms. Haines is knowledgeable about the many deferred programs and procedures that are available in Tarrant County.  Lisa is very thorough in her evaluation of the merits of a case.  She utilizes her 13 years as a criminal prosecutor to find the weakness in the State's case. Being an experienced trial attorney is an asset when negotiating with the State because the prosecutor knows Lisa is never afraid to take a case to the jury.  But the decision of whether to go to trial will alway rest with the client. Lisa does not charge a client for a jury trial unless her client tells her he/she wants to go to trial.

  • Licensed by the State Bar of Texas since 1997 (22 years); Member of the College of the State Bar of Texas; Texas A&M School of Law Adjunct Faculty Member
  • Extensive trial experience (felony and misdemeanor, juvenile, probation revocations, suppression hearings).  She understands all that is at stake when you are arrested. She will meet with you as often as you need while your charge is pending.  
  • Well-versed in DWIevery felony and misdemeanor crime, probation revocations, occupational driver's licenses, family violence, drugs, shoplifting, aggravated offenses, expunctions, etc.
  • Knowledgeable about deferred prosecution programs, Grand Jury procedures for serious felony criminal cases, and probation revocations. 
  • Passionate in her quest to obtain the very best resolution for each client. 
  • Well-known and respected among the Tarrant County judges, prosecutors, other defense attorneys, as well as her many clients over the years. 
  • Tenacious and hard-hitting in court, zealous in protecting clients' rights.  Provides all options and perspectives so that each client is well-informed before the client makes any decision about whether to plea guilty or go to trial.   She is trustworthy and dedicated to providing outstanding legal representation to her clients.  Lisa appreciates how overwhelming a client can feel when facing a criminal charge and works patiently to answer every question.  

Arrested for DWI?  There are three different courts involved in a DWI arrest.  Lisa handles License Suspension hearings (ALR), Occupational License hearings (ODL), as well as the criminal DWI case. A driver arrested for DWI has only 14 days to challenge the driver's license suspension.  The DL suspension will begin on the 40th day after arrest if an ALR hearing is not requested.  When you meet with Lisa, she evaluates whether the police violated any of your rights when you were initially detained.  She compares your observations with the officer's report and the DWI video to look for inaccuracies and inconsistencies.  Having watched countless DWI arrest videos over her career, Lisa shares her knowledge and experience with you in the analysis of the field sobriety test video.  Lisa also continually attends legal seminars dedicated to the latest issues in DWI arrest.  Ultimately it is the client who decides the case's direction. Lisa does not charge a client for a trial unless and until a client requests a trial. That decision should come after a thorough evaluation of your case.  Lisa works hard to prove herself worthy each client's trust. When you meet her you will see why her clients value her legal guidance and support during a very trying time.

Available to answer questions and concerns throughout the duration of each case via office visits, emails and phone conversations.  Payment plans are available. Rates are very competitive - particularly in light of Lisa's extensive experience in all aspects of criminal law.  Initial consultation regarding criminal charges (in person, over the phone or by email) is free. In-office or phone consultations regarding mental health detentions are available at an hourly rate.    Office hours: Mon-Fri 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.  Evening and week-end appointments available. Emails or calls will be returned evenings and week-end.

Lisa, you’re a blessing! <3
i never wrote a review for anything before but i just have to spread the love and experience with Lisa Haines! I am truly grateful and feel absolutely blessed for Lisa Haines, she was my lawyer my parents helped hire for me after i had got arrested. i had never got in trouble before and i was traumatized, full of anxiety and worry after that experience and was in need of a good promising lawyer for my case. my family had used Lisa Haines in the past a few times before and had GREAT success! she was not only affordable but amazing at what she does! i felt extremely comfortable with her and confident that she would do what she had to in order to get me into my first offender drug program in time and to drop the fraud/drug charges, misdemeanor, and felony against me. she even gave me the extra boost i needed to get my GED! this woman deserves an award for how professional, confident, caring and loving she is. she made me feel like she genuinely cared about me and my case, like she was family, and im happy to say that not only i, but my family consider her family after all her care and help! she was there for me and never left me questioning anything pertaining to my case and never failed to let me know what i needed to with an email or phone call (or detailed voicemail) i appreciate her help (and her lovely assistant, Summer) so much so that i strongly recommend hiring her! you wont regret it. God bless!

Superior Council
After consulting with three criminal lawyers my wife and I selected Lisa Hanes to take our son's case. Before we hired her she visited our son in jail to assess the situation and then we had a second meeting with her. The other two attorneys didn't, they just gave us a price. Her office is close to the jail and Tarrant County court house so she can be very efficient with her time. During consultation she was able to quickly discern our situation and lay out several scenarios of how she would go about defending this case and what the possible outcomes would be. After hiring her and attending the first court hearing we were impressed with her focus and style.. There were many cases before the court and some attorneys seemed to be more interested in themselves and impressing each other than working with their cases. She has always answered our emails in a timely manner and we are glad to have found her and would highly recommend her. Being suicidal our son assaulted two family members because they wouldn't give him a gun. She has pointed us to the many mental health programs available in Tarrant County and it has greatly helped us in understanding his condition. With the testimonies from our two family members, our son complying with the criminal court directives and guidance from Lisa we are on our way to getting his felony offenses reduced and getting him accepted into the Mental Health Diversion Program. Thank You Lisa!

Forever thankful
Words cannot begin to express my gratitude for Lisa Haines. Dealing with my first court case & DWI I had no idea what to expect in a court appointed lawyer. From our first meeting I knew I was in the best hands money could buy, and to think this was my court appointed lawyer!! I felt comfortable with Lisa from the start by her friendly and caring manner and her professionallism. She was able to get my class A DWI down to a B, got my court fees lowered significantly, and I received no jail time! I did hire Lisa to get my occupational license & her fees were extremely affordable in comparison to other lawyers. No amount of money could be paid for this amazing lawyer! Thank you Lisa Haines & Summer- I'm forever grateful!

Response from Lisa Haines November 3, 2017
Phyllis, Thank you for taking the time to evaluate my representation as your court-appointed attorney. I do not believe you should have ever been arrested for a second degree felony. I am glad the new prosecutor was able to finally hear what I was telling him! Please keep in touch with me. I know you will continue to do well. All my best to your dad and family! Lisa

ALR and DWI
I am a faithful client of Lisa Haines (firecracker). Reason being she's a passionate knowledgeable lawyer with a great deal of experience when it comes to legal issues and she cares about her clients and their cases. my first experience(consultation) with her concerning my DWI left a lasting impression. she made it known to me that my legal rights and livelihood were important, because i didn't need to lose my job. in which i left her office feeling relieved with no worries. When i unfortunately received a second DWI i didnt hestitate to call her knowing she has my best interest. she took the timeout the very next day on a Saturday to meet with me. after explaining to her; she honestly told me the steps i needed to take for myself and my well being(she cares). after, she spoke to me about the seriousness of this being my second DWI. she was so patient explaining; when i didnt understand the legal terms she broke it down in simpler terms so that i understood completely. she promptly went into action working my case. when my license could have been suspended at my ALR hearing they were not suspended an this is unheard of in most cases involving DWI, because she took the time to investigate and make arguement. she's always kept me inform on whats going on with my cases. GOSH, you really would have to experience what i am trying to express. i am a person who has used many lawyers in the past an i honestly have to give this lady great accolades. my life has sense changed for the better because of her. i am so very grateful for having her as my lawyer. The people who works in her office are awesome as well! THANK YOU LISA!

SIMPLY FABULOS
Lisa represented my case . I had never been arrested I did not know what to expect in jail that was the scary and awful part. I knew once I was released everything would be ok because I have used Lisa before for my Criminal family members and there cases were very criminal activity and she was able to get the best result. For them always. She is the best at what she does her awards speak for them self .So I knew for sure I was going to get a great deal with her I was in great hands and knew I had nothing to worry about because my case was a not so severe I received a great deal and was so pleased with her service. Like I said before she is the best and she has always given nothing but her best. I hope I will never have to hire her again for my self but if I ever do I will do it in a minute she is just SIMPLY FABULOUS !!!!!

Hands down – The most passionate, compassionate, dedicated professional one could hope for!!!
I cannot say enough good things about Lisa. She is incredible! She had her work cut out for her when she took on my case. To describe my circumstance as complicated would be a huge understatement. What a nightmare! Even now with such a good outcome (Thank you Thank you Lisa) :) I'm not comfortable talking about it. So.... Here I go.... Take a breath..... Due to a grossly exaggerated incident... No... Dare I say it... Trumped up charges against me, I was facing a 2nd degree felony where none existed! Lisa immediately saw the ridiculousness of the charges, faced down the prosecution and got them to see the truth with common sense. Without Lisa's compassionate determination I would not have my life back. I am eternally grateful to you Lisa. As always thank you for supporting me.

Lisa was extremely professional from our first meeting. She directed me through the right steps to achieve the best possible outcome, and due to that process my case was dismissed. I would recommend Lisa to anyone that needed a trustworthy, knowledgeable attorney in Tarrant County.

Compassionate, persistent & professional - amazing
Lisa Haines understood the significance of mental health problems where the judicial system fails to. We had a case that was clearly untreated mental illness & NOT criminal. She was able to show the judge evidence & get the charges completely thrown out. Charges that should have not been in the criminal system to begin with! Mental illness is unfortunately a sad failure with the police & the courts. Lisa Haines did not give up until someone finally looked at the evidence. It took two years & she never gave up. She changed our lives. Thank you, Lisa!

Exceptional Knowledge and Compassion - A True Advocate for You
Lisa exceeded all our expectations of a court appointed attorney when my husband was involuntarily held for psychiatric reasons. Her compassion and guidance through navigating the complex mental health law process was invaluable. With little information available on the subject, Lisa's knowledge and willingness to advocate for our family has made it possible for him to get the help he needs. Thank you, Lisa, for your support and efforts.

Paul Rodgers Review
Lisa was my Attorney for a criminal case in October 2012. She is a fantastic Attorney. She has explained everything in Layman's terms so even I can understand them. Her previous experience as a prosecutor provides her with a unique perspective in acting as a Defense Attorney. I would highly recommend her to EVERYONE. She is always eager to respond to any questions regardless of the issue. She is still working my case if the need arises. I even met with her today (08/28/2014) to address additional issues.

Compassionate and Effective Defender
Late one recent evening I received a collect call from the Denton Jail. It was my daughter calling. She’d been arrested in Fort Worth, Texas and moved to the Denton Jail. She'd been away several months already on a cross country journey with her boyfriend that I’d done everything I could to discourage or delay. I live in New Jersey. First thing after receiving my daughter’s call, I searched the web to find out what the possible punishments were for the offense my daughter was charged with. Next, I concluded two things. I had to get my daughter out of jail before she came to serious harm and I had to get her a defender. My daughter’s crime was petty and stupid but the punishments allowed at law could quite literally destroy her. Having dealt with the traffic tickets and petty citations my kids seemed to draw I concluded that without the best defender my daughter was at the mercy of a predatory system of laws without mercy or what I could term justice or equity. Some judges and prosecutors do their best to mitigate the often harsh and disproportionate punishments resulting from a strict application of the law; some do less. I wanted a defender who knew the courts, the judges and prosecutors and who they can deal with. I was also very concerned about my daughter’s mental state. She was completely unprepared for the inhumanity of our jails. The process of arrest and jailing can break the will and sanity of whoever ventures into its maw. I wanted a defender who could find empathy for and relate to her on a personal level, and who would make clear that what she did was stupid and wrong ; convince the court to make their punishment the best possible under the circumstances and proportionate to the offense; and finally convince my daughter that the punishment was indeed just. No more late evening calls from a jail somewhere. Reading through attorney listings in the AVVO. Lisa Haines, P.C., immediately stood out. The pattern of her experience, the directions she chose for her career told me she was exactly the right person to defend my daughter. She was a school teacher, a prosecutor and now a defender. She specialized in cases like my daughter’s case. The picture of her on her website showed me in her face the thousands of smiles and the concern, the caring that I felt my daughter needed. When I spoke with Lisa Haines on the phone the next day I was already sure she was the right defender and became certain of that as we spoke. Lisa Haines, P. C., exceeded all my expectations both in the outcome and in her ability to establish a relationship with my daughter, conveying the lessons I hoped my daughter might learn from her bad experience. She was very responsive to my emails and phone calls and to those my daughter also peppered her with. She kept both me and my daughter aware of the situation as my daughter’s case wound its way through meetings with the prosecutor and finally my daughter’s hearing after we’d had to move the court date out so that my daughter could meet the requirements of the probation the prosecutor agreed to prior to the hearing. At the hearing the judge was satisfied with the arrangement for punishment that Lisa Haines had worked out with the prosecutor, an arrangement that exceeded my best hopes. One of the most important outcomes besides avoiding the possible destruction of my daughter was my sense that my daughter had indeed learned what I hoped she might from the arrest, trial and punishment. I also felt justice had been served and what could have been a disaster had taught my daughter lessons I’d failed to convey. I credit this all to Lisa Haines and with this recommendation I hope I can repay some of what I owe to her for her devotion and skill in humanizing the law. I must also give special thanks to a member of Lisa’s staff, Sandie Powell, who consistently demonstrated the same compassion and passion to help characteristic of Lisa Haines.

A beacon of light in the dark world of Tarrant County Justice.
I have needed Ms Haines services twice in the last 3 years. Each time she has she made a scary situation, not seem as bad. She is thorough in explaining your options and every possible outcome. Her experience working in the D.A's office was visible when dealing with them. She does not mince words, or beat around the bush, which I found very comforting. I hope I never need Lisa again, but If I do, I would not hesitate to use her again.
