Lisa Sanders Richardson

If you are reading reviews to find a family law attorney, look no further and hire Lisa. You won’t be disappointed. She is professional, honest, hard-working and works after hours. And she has an exceptional support staff. They will make you feel like family. Divorce is expensive. No one wins... in a divorce, but Lisa will advise you through the entire process with your entire family’s best interest in mind. She will make you feel like you are her only client, she will fight for your best interest and keep the cost to a minimum. Lisa is very knowledgeable of the family law code and she is very knowledgeable of the judges in both Williamson and Travis County. She will advise you on what will most likely happen if you go to court and she will fight for you to get a better outcome outside of court. I have never hired an attorney until my divorce. I spoke with several attorney’s through the process, but Lisa was the most professional from the minute I walked in for a consultation. I spoke of my situation and she immediately created a plan and put steps in place to give me the best possible outcome. I was able to mediate outside of court. Everyone I have spoken to says the child support and custody arrangement is better than if I let a judge decide. Hopefully I will not need an attorney in the future, but I would definitely choose Lisa for any future need.

I hired Lisa to help with a family custody case. She was extremely professional, helpful, and available at all times. She and her team explained clearly what would happen at each turning point, and every step of the plan was executed just as she said it would be. The team is very organized and very h...elpful in sorting and organizing your documentation. They are also very responsive and answered my emails within a few hours at most every time I sent a note over. End result: exactly what we had hoped for in terms of the custody arrangement. I would highly recommend hiring Lisa as your attorney and will continue to recommend her to coworkers and friends for their particular cases.

Lisa represented me better than I could have ever imagined. The cards where stacked against me because of the falsely exaggerated claims my ex-wife making. Lisa was able to clear the air and poke holes in my ex-wife's claims. Lisa worked with my fiscal situation and I tried to do whatever I could to ...make her job easier. Lisa helped with convincing me that I did have the right to more time with my children and when I was about to give up she was there to convenience me otherwise. In the end, I received more time with my kids which is all that really mattered to me.

First let me be clear: I wrote a heartfelt review for Lisa when I was sent the email request and then received a reminder two weeks later to write a review. After contacting AVVO only to find that my initial review was never received (even though I completed a captcha and clicked "submit") I am now ...doing my best to re-create that review...SO it should be clear that if I am taking the time and energy to compose this review again, it is because I firmly stand for that which I am putting forth with these words. Lisa Sanders Richardson KNOWS what she is doing, and has a well developed blend of practicing the law while still maintaining a personable understanding of her clients. My case was a modification for a custody agreement and her guidance during that turbulent time as well as her advice regarding what I could do to exercise my rights of visitation with my twins was spot on and wrought a favorable outcome once a new agreement was reached in mediation. All that was nice, but this was the part that was invaluable to me: I was the stay at home for my twins, and was re-entering the workforce while the situation arose that necessitated me to hire Lisa in order to avoid being alienated from my children. Lisa understood my situation and helped keep the costs down. Granted, this was not a pro-bono situation, and it required me to pay her and her team for their time and efforts, yet they knew my situation and helped me in terms of keeping billable hours within limits that I could afford. Look, I had researched her after being referred to her, and went in understanding that it is best to follow her advice. Once she heard what I was seeking, I followed her guidance in legal matters, and the opposition found it best to reach a new agreement through mediation. In the end, I got what I wanted; more time with my children without interference. In fact, I just had them for a full week during Spring break this year, and I know that was possible because of Lisa's talents and knowledge, for interpersonal awareness and the law, respectively. If you need legal counsel for family matters, I recommend hiring her. Without a doubt, I know my life is better for having done so.

When I was getting divorced, I heard a lot of horror stories about how much it was going to cost and how difficult it would be to amicably settle our assets and get me the time I deserved with my children because I am the father and work a lot out of town. Lisa is highly sought after yet she worked m...e in, quickly grasped the facts of the case, quickly drafted a framework for us, and efficiently supported my negotiations with my ex and the filing of the documents to the point where I actually got some of my retainer refunded. I also got the joint custody I desired. When I had some disagreements with my ex after the decree was signed Lisa and her staff responded quickly to my questions and helped me frame the situation correctly to avoid major conflict. Lisa is reasonable, professional, pragmatic, and knows her clients well and the details of their cases even months later.
