She’ll change your world!!

Due to unfortunate circumstances, my wife and I found ourselves in a situation requiring an attorney for a critical custody battle of our 8 year old son. With so much at stake, we wanted “the best”. Lacy LaFour came recommended to us by an attorney from a prominent Houston law firm after Ms. LaFour... bested them in a case. From the day we met with Lacy, we knew we had teamed up with the right person. Lacy LaFour engaged and worked to know every intimate detail of our situation: the good, the bad and the ugly. She developed a solid game plan with avenues for adjustments as needed, counseled along the way as emergent situations arose, and prepped for every court appearance as if my life depended on it. I’m still amazed at just how intimately familiar she become with the particulars of our situation. There was never a time when I felt unprepared or did not know what to expect thanks to Ms. Lacy LaFour. When the time came for the final court appearance, even the Judge was impressed with how thorough our preparations and presentations were. The outcome was as favorable as we could have hoped for with stringent restrictions and requirements to protect the ground we gained. We are ever so thankful for Lacy and highly recommend her. She’ll change your world!!

Simply the Best!!

I hired Ms. Lafour to represent me during an extremely stressful period of my life. I cannot possibly articulate the amount of gratitude I have for her. Lacy is an amazing lawyer, but that is only a small part of who she is and what she brings to the table. Lacy has the ability to connect with her c...lients in a way that few people can; and I experienced that first hand. Not only was she able to successfully and flawlessly navigate me through a complicated litigation process, but she also exuded genuine empathy for my situation. Clients are typically in an extremely stressful phase of their lives when they find a need to reach out to an attorney like Ms. LaFour. My situation was no different. Lacy is much more than just a legal mind; she is also a sincerely kindhearted and thoughtful person. She was always available to listen to my fears and concerns with a compassionate ear, and then respond with sound, intelligent advice. The soft skills that Lacy possess are also equaled by her tactical and strategic savvy. The game-plan she developed and executed highlighted her ability analyze each situation and execute it to perfection. Lacy is simply the best!

Great Lawyer

Lacy LaFour is a wonderful attorney and I cannot recommend her enough. She is kind and supportive, and was (and still is) genuinely interested in the well-being of my son. She is also tough but professional when she needs to be, and put in the effort to really understand my case and design a strategy... to win it. All her skill, experience and hard work paid off when she reached a settlement that got me primary conservatorship of my son, which is an extraordinary success considering that my ex-wife has sole conservatorship of her daughter from a previous relationship.

Cutting Edge Experience!

I needed a divorce lawyer that was smarter than the rest and I found her by visiting this AVVO site. Lacy LaFour's rating was high and I really liked what other people (rating her service) had to say. I chose her right away and am very happy that I did. She is everything you need! She is personable, ...super experienced in all things in her field and will not lead you wrong. She spends time with you by phone or in person to fill you in on progress, to answer your questions and knows how to be empathetic to your situation. I felt like she stayed by my side every step of the way. She encouraged me and made me be stronger than I felt I could be. She quickly responded when I e-mailed or left a message with her office. Her office staff are just as great as she is. You will not be sorry if you choose Lacy LaFour! Her service is worth every penny!

So Grateful For Her Strength and Expertise

Lacy LaFour combines knowledge, experience, honesty, integrity, strength and empathy in a fearless package. She led me through an extremely difficult divorce, and did not back down, even when the opposition was often dishonest and even hateful. Ms. LaFour secured a very impressive settlement for me, ...despite the very complicated nature of the marital assets. She was an advocate for my children, and fought for them to receive the very best outcome the law would allow. Lacy LaFour expertly handled my divorce from beginning to end, and I am beyond grateful to her.
