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!!

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.

Hands down best experience

I reached out to Lacy for divorce/custody case. Lacy is extremely thorough and detailed to the extreme she will literally know your case better than you know your case. She was responsive, honest, direct and caring. When it came to negotiating she fought for me like a bulldog but with a great deal of... assertive tact with the opposing attorney. She is not in it for the money, she is in it for your family, the only attorney I have ever met that genuinely cares about the client. I felt safe and protected the entire time. She is transpatebt, diligent, direct, responsive and for you the entirety of the process. Look no further, she wont dissapoint.

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.

Lacy LaFour Review

Ms LaFour handled my divorce several years ago. My ex wife hired a particularly nasty lawyer who seemed to enjoy sending weekly memos accusing me of being a horrible person and a terrible father. I was very concerned that I might not see my kids and that my rights as their father would be taken awa...y. Ms LaFour comforted me and assured me that everything was going to be fine. She was absolutely correct. Not only did I get the standard possession, I got an extra date night each week so that i get one on one time with each of my kids. It's been several years since the divorce and I've never been closer to my children. Date night is a huge hit and the kids always look forward to our special time together. In fact, my oldest now lives with me full time. They are all great kids, doing well in school, and are happy. Ms LaFour is largely responsible for this. Now I'm getting married again and Ms LaFour is handling my premarital agreement. She has my complete confidence and respect.
