Excellent Family Law Attorney

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.

Response to ex-spouse's request for modification of divorce decree related to child

Lisa Richardson greatly assisted me with her knowledge, logic, prompt response, and common sense approach in doing the right thing for all parties involved. My ex-spouse requested a modification of a 15-year old divorce decree to allow him to designate the primary residence for our child who was 18 g...iven the child had determined he wanted to live with his father. Mediation was requested by the opposing attorney based on the divorce decree. It was also requested that I pay all legal fees and expenses for my ex-spouse who was requesting the modification. Lisa helped to streamline the issues and immediately offered a different solution of drafting an order stating that the child was 18 and it was agreed that he could live with either parent and that no parent would be required to pay child support. Lisa's recommendation was accepted by the opposing attorney, my ex-spouse and myself. Lisa saved all parties involved a great deal of time and money by immediately determining what the real issue was addressing it with a more simplified and logical approach. She also informed the opposing attorney that I would not pay legal fees and expenses for my ex-spouse, nor would mediation have to occur. The issue was settled in less than a week. I will definitely continue to refer family and friends to Lisa in the future.

Mediation lawyer | Apr 08

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Lisa Richardson recently mediated one of my complicated family law cases. This case needed a strong, knowledgeable mediator. We had already been to another mediator (well known) without any movement toward settlement. Despite all indications that this case would not settle, Lisa Richardson settled the case. Her abilities as a mediator are unmatched in my opinion and I will continue to use her well into the future. I highly endorse this lawyer."

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.
