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!

Exceeding all Expectations!

I hired Lacy LaFour for a divorce settlement, in a difficult situation where my ex-wife had moved out and was seeking financial gain. The matter was further compounded as I was unemployed and attempting to start a business. First and foremost, Lacy was compassionate and truly cared. Secondly, witho...ut hesitation, Lacy's experience and professionalism kicked in and knew the exactly the steps to take to resolve the matter. Lacy is truly exceptional not just as a lawyer but as a compassionate person! I am in a much better place today, to a large extent to the extra efforts that Lacy LaFour did for me. As there are many attorneys out there to go through the process, none are more results driven than Lacy LaFour!

Best in town - professional, tough, smart, highly experienced

The decision to dissolve our family with my former husband was made by me after 6 months of failed marriage counseling. Naturally, it did not stand well with the controlling/abusive personality that he had. The rage and anger started immediately after I told him about my decision. At that point the a...ge of our three children was 7, 3 and 1.... On top of that we never had a prenuptial agreement or a clear documented division for my separate property. (I had assets he had liabilities going into the marriage..) I was initially referred to another family lawyer by a friend. My friend just wanted to delay the date of the divorce. That was a huge mistake on my side, since it was a loss of time/money/health for me. That lawyer has done nothing to protect/defend me. I ended up losing time/health/money. I started interviewing other family law attorneys and there were about 2-3 before her I spoke with Lacy. She was referred to me through business acquaintances. The second I met her I realized - "That is it! I don't need to search anymore". Lacy completely shocked me with the combination of her youth/beauty and obvious toughness, intelligence, expertise, knowledge and the readiness to be there for me. I felt very protected by her presence in my life then and this is what I really needed at that point. When Lacy will become your attorney, this is what she will do for you (since this is what she has done for me): 1) She will start moving your controlling husband out of your house the second you hire her. It took her a couple of days for him to say "I am moving out..." as opposed to 5 months of "This is my house and take me to court" with the previous lawyer. 2) She will be in charge of your case and will remind all the parties involved of what will and will not fly in the court. In other words, with her legal expertise and knowledge of how things work in Houston, TX, you are in good hands if you ever need to go to a court situation. 3) She will control your other spouse and his (hers) abusive attorney, if that's the case. They will realize that the passive/aggressive tactics they used on other people before do not work anymore. 4) She will be on call/text/email with her expertise and support around the clock. 5) Lacy will know what will and will not be approved by a particular judge/court in a Harris County in Houston. It will be extremely beneficial during your mediation process, since your opponent will be losing his/hers argument. 6) She will come fully prepared for the mediation. We had rental properties, a business, stock investments, MY undocumented separate property that HE was never going to admit. Lacy knew how to handle those difficult property division cases, when there is no prenuptial agreement. The mediator she recommended for our case was not necessarily the cheapest in town. However, his expertise guaranteed our successful settlement that night without the need to go to court. 7) During the whole divorce and the mediation in particular Lacy was very sharp, tough and fighting for me and my children's interests . She was there for me at all times, I felt her continuous support and this is extremely invaluable, especially considering the control and abuse of my former husband. I have personally worked in a tough professional world for about 12 years and I do not think you can find a better attorney for yourself, especially if your spouse is controlling and your case is financially difficult to settle.
