Loreen Carol Blackwell

When I was served divorce papers, it took me by surprise. Though no marriage is perfect I thought after 18 years together my ex and I were in it for the long haul. I was blessed to be referred to Lori Blackwell through a friend. And from the very start, I knew and trusted Lori had my back. My ex... claimed she was trying to be civil and nice. In reality, the way she had worded the original divorce filing my ex could have taken my daughters away to another state. Thank goodness I consulted Lori before signing anything. Lori took the time to explain all the legal verbiage in simple terms. Throughout the process, Lori was attentive, empathetic to my situation, courteous, professional, well organized, punctual, dedicated, a tough bull dog when needed, and above all looked out for the best interests of myself and my daughters. Lori was able to get my ex to agree to mediation terms, foregoing costly and prolonged divorce trial. Lori was able to ensure that I got joint custody of my daughters, they had to stay in Fort Bend County, ensured that the property division was fair & equitable, was knowledgeable on the intricacies of my military pension as related to the divorce, and ensured that I was able to retain some family land that I had inherited that had been in my family over 150 years. I am forever grateful to the service & legal advise of Lori and would recommend her to any man or woman going through divorce.

The father of my son sued me that the child is not his, after we already went to the court recently about custody and child support and he never even showed up. Loreen was quick to find solution and counter act and sue him back as she was very knowledgeable about all the laws, and family codes. Fath...er of my son withdraw the suit and we won. I saw this to be a very quick, efficient almost aggressive approach. Will use her again and highly recommend.

After using another lawyer and feeling like a constant bother and getting nowhere, I feel like she was a Godsend. I was dealing with a termination of parental rights/stepparent adoption case against my abusive ex husband who was incarcerated. Although incarcerated, his family had unlimited financial ...resources to fight us. They hired an attorney that was part of the State Legislature in order to get legislative (any any other possible) continuances granted. This case took two years. In those year, Lori was a constant source of not only legal knowledge and professionalism, but also comfort. You could tell she was invested in this case. It was personally important for her to fight for what was right. I truly believed she saved our son's life. She kept him from a violent criminal and gave him a sense of security that he so desperately needed. We are forever grateful for Lori and I highly recommend her.

I cannot say enough about Lori. Getting a divorce was not what I envisioned for me and my family, especially with three young kids, but going through it with Lori as my attorney made a daunting process into one that was actually bearable. When I first contacted Lori, I did not even know if I wanted t...o go through with the divorce yet. She answered all my questions and was professional, kind, and not pushy at all, which is something I really appreciated. Months later, I contact her again after I made my decision. She listened to me and what I wanted, patiently answered my many questions, advised, and advocated for me the entire time. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the entire process, and in the end, I ended up with not only the terms I wanted, but felt like I also gained a new friend in the process. Thank you and your team, Lori!

Lori Blackwell came highly recommended to us by several trusted acquaintances. Amid an incredibly difficult contested stepparent adoption case, Lori always communicated with us in a compassionate and respectful way, which we desperately needed. Lori, along with Lennea, and the entire team at Hender...shot, Cannon & Hisey, were beyond generous towards our family with their time and thoughts towards our case. In the courtroom, Lori is confident, extremely knowledgeable and well-spoken and it was a privilege to stand beside her through our successful adoption trial. I can wholeheartedly offer my recommendation of Lori Blackwell as a trusted source of legal counsel that will work hard for favorable outcomes.
