Lisa Aceves Hayes

Lisa Hayes is an absolute dream to work with. I had 2 lawyers prior to Lisa and she is a cut above the rest. Being that every two years Im back in court, Lisa has always been available and dedicated to my case. She is well informed and always prepared. She advises you on what the law states, what op...tions you have and develops strategies to help get through any situation. Her ability to remove the emotion from situations means that she is always acting in the best interest of her client. I trust her 100%. It is always tough going through a divorce, especially when kids are involved. I know that Lisa cares about my children and only wants what is best for them just as I do. Sometimes you don’t always hear what you want to hear......she is not that type. She tells you what you need to hear so you can make informed decisions based on the law and risk assessment. Her representation in court is impeccable! She adapts quickly and effortlessly in a courtroom which is essential when in trial. I never have to worry about if she will convey what I want because she ensures she understands the facts in the case ahead of time and comes prepared. She shows very well in a court room. She is and will always Be my family attorney for life.

When my divorce began, Lisa was my first choice after a nauseating and rushed trip to El Paso (where I no longer lived) to interview several of lawyers. I, unfortunately, went with a different attorney. When the other attorney did not work out, I went back to Lisa, who had raised her rates since we... spoke. She took me at the lowered prior rate. I was pleased with her work, and she put up well with my father, who can be very demanding. When I was later sued by my ex husband - 2 more times - I hired her each time. The first lawsuit, she did fantastic. The second was an uphill battle and had a lot of twists and turns that none of us could have anticipated. Some of those unexpected curves also brought lessons that she admitted to leaning from. I don't think she could have anticipated those, and I appreciate her honest and humble assessment of what went wrong in that case. The final case was another success. In the last 6 years, I've hired Lisa 4 times - which means we have had a lot of communication over the years, and unless she is bogged down with another case, or out of town, she has by and large made time to talk to me about any concerns. We have had ups and downs, but many more ups and I think she is highly competent and listens closely. I don't recall ever having to remind her of names or details in my case, and I think that level of service is what you truly need in a high-stress family law case.
