Karleana Lahens Farias

Our recent experience with the Farias Law Firm was exceptional. Karleana and Katy were both great listeners and very caring and honest with their advise and recommendations. We truly appreciate that they were both so caring about our case and seemed very knowledgeable and offered great advise in a ...friendly and professional way. They made us feel comfortable and at ease. We cannot thank them enough.

I the interest of total transparency, I begin with saying I went through law school with Mrs. Farias, but ultimately chose a different path after we earned our JD’s. I was in AWE of her while we were students of the law. This speaks to her intellect and natural gift for this profession. MORE IMPO...RTANTLY, I chose her and used her as my attorney long after our school days ended, and trusted her with every legal issue I faced. They varied from property disputes and divorce to losing a parent of mine and all the estate/will “nightmares” that came with it for lack of a better word. She has handled every legal issue for every member of my large Greek family as they have arisen. Her code of ethics and morals is something she truly lives by. For fear of appearing too boastful on her behalf I do apologize, but the reality is that nothing I’ve detailed has been an exaggeration. This woman does what’s right even when it’s not “popular,” at times knowing she must anger or annoy her colleagues and clients for being a stickler for the rules and the right thing. She lives by a code of integrity. Anyone should feel privileged to have her on their side.

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.
