Karleana Lahens Farias

Over the past decade, I have had the misfortune of becoming too acquainted with the family law system in Houston. Attorneys with cerebral knowledge of the law alone and those from expensive, high profile firms did not yield positive results. One attorney in River Oaks essentially stole $50,000 and ...damaged my case. The best return on investment I found is Karleana Farrias of The Farrias Law Firm located in The Heights. Karleana is a mother and very passionate about the well being of children and sanctity of motherhood. Despite losing her own mother during representation on my case she grieved appropriately and persevered. “Control over client” is not something attorneys discuss in consultation, but it is important. This requires the client trusting the attorney. Because Karleana is direct with sensitivity and genuine I was able to trust her advice. When situations demanded immediate attention she was there. Her pragmatic guidance was invaluable. As a litigator, Karleana is proficient and aggressive. While I would have liked more advanced planning for witnesses she was able, on a budget, to take on a the plaintiff who was well financed and reveal him as a narcissist. She is talented in painting a court narrative, and in family law this is essential. As someone looking for great ROI in family law my search would start and stop with Karlean Farrias.

It’s hard to find words to adequately thank and praise Karleana Farias for her speedy work in resolving a complicated bureaucratic snafu in the Attorney-General’s Child Support Enforcement Division. The AG said I owed six figures in unpaid child support, which was wrong. Worse, the AG suspended my mo...nthly state teacher retirement annuity, which is one third of my retirement income. A friend referred us to the Farias firm, and Karleana Farias got the snafu resolved in less than a week. My annuity is restored and life is back to normal for us. I highly recommend the Farias firm, especially Karleana for the kind and thoughtful way she handled our getting-to-know-you interview. She's just wonderful, and we intend to thank her with a Christmas card every year.

Karleana L. Farias and her staff (Leo Farias, Karen, Adrian) were all easy to talk to, easy to work with, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about our case and each individual situation that arose during the legal process. It is very clear that the Farias lawyers enjoy what they do and do it ...well. As a father she gave me confidence and insight into the legalities of my individual situation. I won my case without having to go to trial. When everything was finished Mrs. Farias also sat down with us and further explained the order and answered any questions we had so that we would leave with the full understanding of both my and the other party's responsibilities. I am beyond thankful for their services. -B.L
