Lori Elaine Hall Laird

I'm truly amazed and disappointed after reading so many good reviews of Ms.Laird. This was not my experience. It has been 7 months with no contact from Ms. Laird, no email, no phone call...nothing.
She was hired in 2012 to help with custody of a then 15 year old, now 17. Nothing has ever been filed with the courts. We heard a lovely song and dance about how she was involved with a high profile case involving a judge and that it was taking up all of her time.
Her ever changing staff that answer the phone do the best they can, but there have been quite a few to come and go and I can only assume that it is due to having angry clients call and be angry with them because of no response from Ms. Laird.

We where introduced to Lori from another attorney that was unable to handle the case due to her own case load... Thank god she did! Lori was on track from the very start. We presented her with the evidence we had collected, 3000 to 4000 Facebook and Twitter entries and photos. She battled with the amicus, once she discovered the amicus took the side of the druggy mother, requested the custody be presented to a jury. Lori kept us involved through the whole process prior to trial. Lori even invited us into her home for trial prep. Her husband informed us that we where the 1st of her cliants that has ever been in their home. When we finally went to court, she battled 3 opposing attorneys. The trial went 7 days, they had the stand for 5 1/2 days and we had it 1 1/2 days. In closing arguments, a juror even applauded. It took the, jury consisting of 6 men and 6 women less than 1 hour to come back with a unanimous verdict in favor of placing my grand daughter in my sons custody giving him 100% geographical rights. My grand daughter now lives with us in Pennsylvania and is happy and healthy. I don't know what the outcome would have been without Lori's help. Not only is Lori the best damn attorney in Texas, she has become a life long family friend! Shake and Bake baby!

I had a criminal case where I was charged with fraud for prescription medication. Ms. Laird completely understood everything that had occurred and was able to get me through a very difficult time in my life while completely mitigating the effects of these charges against me. I was so surprised by the level of her investigation and her ability to persuade the district attorneys office to cooperate and work with her and me. I couldn't have had a better defense attorney. I highly recommend her for any criminal case- she is awesome.
