First Class Service & Expertise

Lisa Vance and her team have first class knowledge of the Texas Legal system. Throughout the entire legal battle, I was an emotional wreck, but Lisa and her team were calm, professional, and compassionate. They kept me calm with world class preparations and explanations of the process in layman’s ter...ms. Lisa was quick to respond to my inquiries and always provided multiple paths forward based on my budget and priorities. I pray I never need family law services again, but if I do, I will definitely be working with Lisa.

Best family attorney in San Antonio

Absolutely amazing, Lisa and her team are truly a blessing from our great Lord. Lisa Vance is truly a force that is undeniable. Lisa is a woman of strong faith, honesty and integrity. I have to be careful how I say this… Lol, but she has many many years of experience and knows what it takes to get th...e job done. Lisa is my angel, she saved me when I was blindsided and everything worked out just how it’s should be. My child is safe and happy and we are now working together to make sure he has a prosperous future. Lisa is one of the best Family attorneys in San Antonio if not the best. I have her number on speed dial and will always remember what she did for me at my time of need. Again a true angel and wish all the best blessings for her and her family. Did I win….. yes, but nobody ever wins in separations. It’s never your child or my child…. It’s our child. God bless i hope this review helps you in some way.

Family Court

Deborah was our lawyer and she was extremely helpful in helping us understand and navigate the family court system. Lisa litigated our case and she did an amazing job addressing the court and the judge and getting across what we felt was most important to address about our case. We initially felt as ...though we were spending more money than we would have liked. Then we saw the difference in representation from the opposing counsel and we were satisfied with how much we spent and the quality of our representation. We are very impressed and thankful and would recommend this firm to anyone going through a custody battle. Though results are really up to the ruling of a judge, we were able to get everything we asked for and more. Even if things had not gone in our favor, I can confidently say that this team did everything in their power to support us and I would still be satisfied with their representation regardless or results. We felt taken care of as clients.

The Best!!!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Lisa and her firm! She is phenomenal, as is everyone that is a part of her team. I was seeking help with a custody/visitation issue and the service I received was superb. My mind was immediately put to ease knowing that I was no longer alone during... such a difficult process, and that I had the support of such a remarkable group of individuals. I am forever grateful!
