Child Support

They were very nice and comforting. They listen to all of my concerns and answered them perfectly.

Posted by Steve | October 13, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Great Lawyer

Lisa was great. Her office was helpful, prepared, and made me feel at ease regarding my child custody matter. I highly recommend her services.

Posted by Cpt. Robert | July 06, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Excellent Firm For Family Law!

I hired The Law Office Of Lisa Vance to handle a custody case after being sued by my ex for Sole Managing Conservatorship of our son. At the time, and while residing in another state, I had only my gut instincts and online reviews written by strangers to guide me in my search for good legal counsel. ...I ultimately decided to hire Lisa Vance's firm, and feel I made a good decision, as they did an outstanding job. Her staff were compassionate and considerate while showing a keen, collective eye for intricate details. As a result of their work, I'm planning my next visit with my son instead of worrying about whether or not I'll ever see him again. I'm sincerely grateful, and highly recommend Team Vance to anyone needing representation. Thank you!

Amazing care for my custody case with my daughter

Lisa and her team of professionals have been instrumental in my custody case with my daughter. They're thoughtful, caring and catered to my needs. The team took my case serious and personal and worked hard for me to achive my goal. These folks are ethical, promote a positive approach and were aggr...essive where necessary. I can't recommend Lisa Vance and Kimberly enough and am appreciative of the rest of my team and Terra for their expertise and attention to details.

Posted by Tashana | March 26, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Exceptional Customer Service and Professionalism

I hired this firm after really thinking I could handle the entire divorce process on my own. After walking away from the staff attorney's offices several times with no progress (because they simply do not have the time to move your case without massive delays and inadequate staff), I decided to give... in and ask for help. There are so many different family attorneys in the San Antonio area that it seemed very difficult to find the right attorney that would not take advantage of me and over charge for their work. The office of Lisa Vance felt like family to me after about 2 seconds on the initial call with them. They explained the entire process and charges up front. Everything went just as they said it would and my divorce was finalized in less than two weeks. We were able to handle everything via phone and email and I only had to actually appear the day of the finalization. This office is full of genuinely nice, compassionate, professional individuals that know how to get things done at a minimal cost and o you. If you want to resolve your case so you can move on with your life, I encourage you to contact the office of Lisa Vance and ask for Durime Fahim! Her assistant Jessica Goodman will get your documents ready and explain everything very thoroughly. Attorney Fahim is kind and extremely experienced. She will get your case finalized and you will be like I was...speechless and in awe (slightly mad at yourself for wasting so much time and not calling the office of Lisa Vance much sooner)!!!! I highly recommend this firm, you will gain your independence back and honestly feel like you are among family the entire time. Thank you Durime!!!!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
