Highly recommended and very trustworthy, and knowledgable!

Hire my Divorce Lawyer!

Lisa Vanauken handled my divorce for me in 2007. It was a harrowing experience, which she made much better with her knowledge of the law and the vagaries of the Houston Family Courts system. Although I was treated very poorly in my opinion by the system itself, I'm quite certain that it would have been much worse if it weren't so obvious that I had the better lawyer! She got me all that she could and more than I expected in my bid for joint custody and a say in where my babies would live and what kind of medical care they would receive. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a Family Law issue handled by an advocate who overachieves and doesn't bleed you dry. One warning; don't send her every love note your cheating spouse sends as they trickle out. Those e-mails add up!

Lisa M. Vanauken

From the beginning Mrs. Vanauken was very understanding of my case and was always very honest as to what the best and worse outcome would be. She fought hard for me and eventually got me everything I could have asked for in my situation. She was very knowledgeable and I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a family law attorney.

Thorough and responsive

I used Lisa in 2007 for my uncontested divorce. She answered all of my questions and was very reassuring and helpful in advocating for my best interests during a time when I was very emotional. I felt confident that I was being well-represented. I have since referred several friends to her for contested divorces and they have been similarly pleased with the results.
