WILL LIE AND HAVE YOU MISS COURT TO GET YOU BACK IN JAIL VIA TEXT FROM HER PRACTICE, AGAINST HER CLIENTS, WILL ALWAYS BE LATE!!!

MOST UNPROFESSIONAL, UNRELIABLE, HYPOCRITICAL, JUDGEMENTAL, “LAWYER” (if she even can be called that since she does NOT follow the code of ethics that the state bar REQUIRES a lawyer to follow) I HAVE EVER MET IN MY LIFE!!! Not only did she try to have me sign a plea deal on something I was not e...ven guilty of BEFORE ANY INDICTMENT WAS EVER EVEN FILED OR MADE WHATSOEVER (which is something that anyone who has half a brain knows you don’t ever do because that is just stupid), but she had her office text (YES TEXT! Not call like a professional place would usually do) me the day before court telling me to not go because she was not going to be there and would reschedule. THANK GOD I IGNORED HER LAW OFFICES’ AND HER TEXT BECAUSE IF I DID LISTEN TO HER I WOULD HAVE HAD A WARRANT FOR NOT GOING TO COURT!!! She would not listen to anything I had to say and she just wanted me to make a deal on something I did not even do. She was against me the entire time and even an individual who was a supporting witness of my innocence (which she refused to talk to him even too) said that she just wanted to send me to jail and get paid by the DA for helping them out! DO NOT USE THIS WOMAN IF YOU ARE INNOCENT UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE SCREWED OVER OR TREATED LIKE SOMEONE CONVICTED OF A MASS MURDER OR WHO HAS THE PLAGUE!!! She is only there for herself and she is not on your side, nor will she do anything to help you! She actually ended up getting the DA to try and increase the degree of my charges with my case by telling them crap that wasn’t even true and she submitted paperwork saying I was representing myself which I never had even mentioned to anyone (but prob would be better off than having her representing me)!

Rude, does not care, lazy

Worst criminal defense lawyer I have ever seen! What lawyer tries to have a client sign guilty without an indictment or without ever filing motion of discovery?! Not even a lawyer but I even know those are two things ALL criminal defense lawyers are supposed to do in order to know the facts on their ...clients case! She works for the court, NOT her client! Read all her 1* reviews on google and you will see it’s true! Her 5* reviews are all paid for by her law firm to up her score on google.

Biased and unprofessional!!!

Worst lawyer I have ever met or seen in action! Had to fire her because she immediately said I was guilty without ever speaking to me, and she wouldn’t even take a second to try to listen to anything I had to say either. She def works for the county and not her client!!! She has HORRIBLE reviews also... on google too- which totally all check out

Principle not Paychecks

Lisa believed in me. Charged with agg. assault w/deadly weapon by a district atty. with a chip on her shoulder. Lisa took my case because she could see the facts from the beginning. I lawfully used my right to defend myself using my LTC and a legal firearm to stop an unstable individual from assault...ing me for the third time. The(thankfully) voted-out DA wanted to take my freedoms only because my attacker called 911-FIRST. Lisa's staff is fantastic keeping the family informed and really treating you as if you matter.

Excellent criminal defense lawyer!

I was charged in Judge Werlein's Federal Court with 23 Counts of Conspiracy, Health Care Fraud, and Wire Fraud, and I was found NOT GUILTY by the jury on all 23 counts after 4 weeks of trial. Lisa was excellent at my trial. She is very professional, tenacious, and most importantly, believed in my in...nocence! I am forever grateful and indebted to her.

"Lisa is one of the hardest working and dynamic trial lawyers I know. Her intellect is surpassed only by her tenacity. Simply put, I would much rather have Lisa on my side than against me."

"I definitely endorse this lawyer. I worked with Lisa at the Harris County District Attorney's Office. She was widely recognized as a very talented and tenacious trial lawyer. I always thought she was very patient with crime victims and their families and respectful to defendants and their attorneys. These are traits that would be excellent in a criminal defense attorney!"

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"As a 20+ year Houston criminal trial attorney, I can honestly say that there is no stronger criminal trial lawyer than Lisa Andrews in Houston. She is incredibly prepared. She absolutely destroys witnesses on the stand when they deserve it. Her Closing Arguments are unbeatable. In summary, If I got in trouble, I would hire her!"

"I handled cases against Lisa when she was a Chief Prosecutor with the District Attorney's Office and, more recently, I have worked on cases with her as defense attorneys for the accused. I can recommend Lisa's work product without reservation. You will not find a more tenacious advocate. She was a formidable adversary as a prosecutor and is now a relentless advocate for her clients."
