      Family law is always emotional and difficult. The Cusic Law Firm represents one of the best in Houston. Every experience here ~ from making an appointment to the close of my case demonstrated excellence. Expertise, professionalism and compassion with every encounter is rare and that’s exactly what they give. I’m so grateful to have used them and would use/ refer them a 100 times over!

      Excellent Law Firm

      Posted by

      The Cusic Law Firm is an excellent law firm, they truly care about their clients. The attorney is very hardworking, she always gives her all when she is handling a case. She had to clean up the mess a previous attorney made on my case, and she was able to save the day. She just gives you a sense of peace and calm, and you know that your case is in capable hands. She also has above 5 star quality staff members on her team. Ms. Katina (she is a very brilliant CPA), amazing lady with a heart of gold (she locates any hidden income, assets, all that, if there's something to find, she WILL find it), Ms. Kara the associate attorney, Ms. Beatriz, and 2 other amazing ladies on staff :-) Do not hesitate to consult with this firm if you are ever in need of an excellent family law attorney.

      Such a great soul I've ever met!

      Posted by

      A team full of honesty, dedicated to client, this is the way I would like to say about Ms. Dessiray and her team! A beautiful soul who is very empathic to her client. She is very knowledgeable and easily can understand the issue, therefore, runs the case very logically and smoothly. One very important thing is, she is very flexible with payment, she never ever forced me to pay, whatever she made my bill was reasonable for me. Few of attorneys, I found without money, they don't even talk to you but here Ms. Dessiray is exception. I will always refer Ms. Dessiray whoever needs family issues assistance. What she did for me, I will always remember her and will always pray for her success. God bless her. Thank you

      Excellent Attorney !!!!!!

      Posted by

      Upon Dessiray Cusic hired we were very impressed with her professionalism, both her staff and herself was empathetic to our needs and expectations. She answered every question and any call anytime of the day. I was referred to Dessiray by Ronald Lampkin, he said she was the best and she is. As we prepared for court I was a ball of nerves, however she assured me everything was going to be okay. Dessiray team is" AWESOME"! Virginia, Kelsey, Rondi and everyone as that participated with tha case. I'm satisfied with the end results, I couldn't ask for a professional ,excellent attorney and that she is. Thank you Dessiray Cusic!!

      A Great Divorce Attorney

      Posted by

      I had the opportunity to meet Dessiray in January 2020 while seeking an attorney for a family issue. Ii left here office after the initial meeting feeling as if she understood my issue, had a great knowledge of the law and would do everything in her power to work faithfully and fairly on my behalf. I never for a moment doubted that she was fully at work for me. If you are facing divorce or any other family issue, you are cutting yourself short and doing yourself an injustice if you do not have Dessiray working on your case. She never gave up!

      Knowledgeable and compassionate attorney. THE BEST!

      Posted by

      Ms. Cusic has handled two family cases for me and each time she was well ahead of the opposition with facts, details and the knowledge of the law. Her and her firm will not engage in drama or condone it in any way which inspires calmness and cooperation from both parties. Her deep compassion for the overall well being of everyone involved is unmatched. She is respected by the courts, other attorneys and the Attorney Generals offices. I would highly recommend Ms. Cusic and her firm for any of your family related legal matters.

      Dessiray really helped me out through my divorce and was able to help me mediate a deal with my ex that saved me tons of money on legal fees and the splitting of assets. She is nice personable and professional. Was able to keep situation cal and professional even when my ex was getting irate. I would definitely recommend her to anyone going through a divorce or in need of a family lawyer

      Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

      I endorse this lawyer. I am a Family and Probate Lawyer in the Houston area. As opposing Attorney to Ms. Cusic in a family law matter, I was impressed by her professional attentiveness to effectively advocate the position of her client, but maintain a level of openness when communicating with me (opposing counsel). In my opinion, she exemplifies “quality” in legal representation.
