Highly recommend

Lisa Potter is nothing short of an extraordinary attorney. I hired her firm right before Christmas through a third party company. My ex had been keeping my children away from me for the entire year. Her firm quickly filed a writ of habeas and got me in front of the court in record time. I walked out ...of court with my children that day and was able to spend time with them for the first time in a year. Not only that my kids were upset obviously because their mom had been filling their head with nonsense and so they were teary-eyed when their mother left them at the courthouse. Lisa didn't have to do this but she came in the room with me and my children and she spent about a half an hour talking to them and calming them down and interacting and laughing with them. They really enjoyed her and interacted well with her. She definitely has a heart and passion for children. By the time we left they were happy and excited to go get breakfast with me. I will never forget what she did. In addition, she is now pursuing an enforcement case for me because Mom has violated the order so long and she is doing it free of charge. I read some of these reviews about her being money hungry. That is not my experience. I don't know too many attorneys that provide services at no additional cost. Also, since I came to her through the third party, it is the third party that charged me and set the fees for me, not her. If you're looking for an attorney who is going to fight for you and move your case along quickly, I would highly recommend that you hire her and her staff. Her staff was very responsive and have kept me updated at every step in the process. Give her a shot and then you make your own judgment about her as an attorney and as an individual. Thank you so much for everything you've done for me and my kids Lisa!! I would give you a hundred stars if I could

An Amazing Attorney

It would take me 10 pages to write about Lisa Potter and all that she has done for me. In my case. My case has been very complicated. I have been fighting for custody of my daughter after her father took her away from me and brought false charges of assault against me. So I was fighting a criminal ca...se as well as in family court with Lisa Porter fighting for my daughter. I hired Lisa through a third party company and then I was unable to afford to continue paying their fees. The company advised her to drop my case because I was not able to pay but Lisa refused and told me she would continue to represent me free of charge. Understand she is in Houston and I am in Fort Worth. She has flown at her own expense to represent me in court no less than 12 times already. She has filed multiple motions and she has gotten me access to my daughter again. Originally dad was given full custody and I was not given any visitation except under supervision. Today I have 50/50 custody. Also, for my criminal case, she worked with my criminal attorneys and spent about 40 hours helping them prepare my case, giving them all of the evidence from our family law case to help defeat the criminal charge. It was because of a hearing that she had in family court where she showed a major witness in the criminal case was lying that my criminal attorney was able to use the transcript from the family court case where Lisa was so brilliant to show the jury in the criminal trial that this witness was unreliable and telling lies. Not only that, Lisa took time off from her busy schedule to fly to Fort Worth the day of my criminal trial to sit in and support me. I don't know any attorney who would do what she has done for me. She has the biggest heart I have ever seen and she definitely has a very soft spot for single mothers because she told me she was raised by a single mother. There is nothing I can do to thank her for all that she has done for me. I was blessed to have come across her and I will forever be grateful to all that she has done for me and my daughter. She is such a fighter and she is so passionate about what she does and that is why she goes above and beyond for her clients. Her staff is also great and they keep you posted and updated every step of the way. If you want an aggressive attorney who is also passionate but is going to keep it real with you and tell you what you need to hear and not what you want to hear. She's definitely the attorney you should hire and I cannot recommender highly enough.

Excellent Family Law Attorney

I highly recommend Okho Brown Law firm for representation in Divorce court. I couldn't be more grateful for Lisa's services. If you're a father concerned about judicial prejudice, Lisa is a strong advocate for the best interest of the children. She has no bias when it comes to fathers fighting for... custody. I am in awe that I was able to win custody of my children. Another aspect I appreciated was how financially reasonable Lisa was to hire. Lisa's passion for her expertise can feel intimidating. If it's your first experience going through Family Court, trust the process, you won't regret it.

John, thank you for your kind words. It was an honor representing an awesome dad like you. So thrilled we could get you the victory. All the best and if you ever need us in the future (and hopefully you will not. lol), please don't hesitate to call us. :)

God sent

She did her homework. She came in that courtroom and got me sole custody of my daughter. We had been separatex for 11.5 years. Because of her passion and due diligence, my daughter is home with me healing from her traumatic experience.

Jecharia! God is good. We have fought this battle for almost 2 years. We have overcome 2 dismissals in this case and false witnesses against you. We have overcome them trying to hide your child but in the end we prevailed. I told you I would not stop until we had your baby home. Your child became my child and I am sooo happy she is back with you, where she belongs. You are a good mom and I sa your heart and that made me fight harder. It was a pleasure working with you and getting to know you. Thank you for being able to listen to what I needed to tell you and not just what you wanted to hear. When clients trust and listen, we win. All the best in the new year and years to come. Send Pics. :-)

The best lawyer I ever Had

IF I could give Ms. Okoh-Brown 20 starts, I would because she is so awesome! I am a young mom and the legal system can be confusing and intimidating. With her, I could sit back and allow her to navigate this complex system for me. She was always responsive when I reached out for advice and she set... me straight when I needed that too. lol. When we attended mediation it was something to watch her work. She anticipated everything the other side came back with. She would not let me budge on what she knew I was entitled too. She also took information that I gave her during mediation and quickly used it to our advantage to get what I wanted. She is a very fast thinker and that is one of the many reasons she is such a good lawyer. If you want someone who will fight for your kids as if they are her own, then you need to call her. Thank you Ms. Okoh-Brown!!
