Due to unfortunate circumstances, my wife and I found ourselves in a situation requiring an attorney for a critical custody battle of our 8 year old son. With so much at stake, we wanted “the best”. Lacy LaFour came recommended to us by an attorney from a prominent Houston law firm after Ms. LaFour bested them in a case. From the day we met with Lacy, we knew we had teamed up with the right person. Lacy LaFour engaged and worked to know every intimate detail of our situation: the good, the bad and the ugly. She developed a solid game plan with avenues for adjustments as needed, counseled along the way as emergent situations arose, and prepped for every court appearance as if my life depended on it. I’m still amazed at just how intimately familiar she become with the particulars of our situation. There was never a time when I felt unprepared or did not know what to expect thanks to Ms. Lacy LaFour. When the time came for the final court appearance, even the Judge was impressed with how thorough our preparations and presentations were. The outcome was as favorable as we could have hoped for with stringent restrictions and requirements to protect the ground we gained. We are ever so thankful for Lacy and highly recommend her. She’ll change your world!!

I hired Ms. Lafour to represent me during an extremely stressful period of my life. I cannot possibly articulate the amount of gratitude I have for her. Lacy is an amazing lawyer, but that is only a small part of who she is and what she brings to the table. Lacy has the ability to connect with her clients in a way that few people can; and I experienced that first hand. Not only was she able to successfully and flawlessly navigate me through a complicated litigation process, but she also exuded genuine empathy for my situation. Clients are typically in an extremely stressful phase of their lives when they find a need to reach out to an attorney like Ms. LaFour. My situation was no different. Lacy is much more than just a legal mind; she is also a sincerely kindhearted and thoughtful person. She was always available to listen to my fears and concerns with a compassionate ear, and then respond with sound, intelligent advice. The soft skills that Lacy possess are also equaled by her tactical and strategic savvy. The game-plan she developed and executed highlighted her ability analyze each situation and execute it to perfection. Lacy is simply the best!

Lacy LaFour is a wonderful attorney and I cannot recommend her enough. She is kind and supportive, and was (and still is) genuinely interested in the well-being of my son. She is also tough but professional when she needs to be, and put in the effort to really understand my case and design a strategy to win it. All her skill, experience and hard work paid off when she reached a settlement that got me primary conservatorship of my son, which is an extraordinary success considering that my ex-wife has sole conservatorship of her daughter from a previous relationship.

I needed a divorce lawyer that was smarter than the rest and I found her by visiting this AVVO site. Lacy LaFour's rating was high and I really liked what other people (rating her service) had to say. I chose her right away and am very happy that I did. She is everything you need! She is personable, super experienced in all things in her field and will not lead you wrong. She spends time with you by phone or in person to fill you in on progress, to answer your questions and knows how to be empathetic to your situation. I felt like she stayed by my side every step of the way. She encouraged me and made me be stronger than I felt I could be. She quickly responded when I e-mailed or left a message with her office. Her office staff are just as great as she is. You will not be sorry if you choose Lacy LaFour! Her service is worth every penny!

I reached out to Lacy for divorce/custody case. Lacy is extremely thorough and detailed to the extreme she will literally know your case better than you know your case. She was responsive, honest, direct and caring. When it came to negotiating she fought for me like a bulldog but with a great deal of assertive tact with the opposing attorney. She is not in it for the money, she is in it for your family, the only attorney I have ever met that genuinely cares about the client. I felt safe and protected the entire time. She is transpatebt, diligent, direct, responsive and for you the entirety of the process. Look no further, she wont dissapoint.

I hired Lacy LaFour for a divorce settlement, in a difficult situation where my ex-wife had moved out and was seeking financial gain. The matter was further compounded as I was unemployed and attempting to start a business. First and foremost, Lacy was compassionate and truly cared. Secondly, without hesitation, Lacy's experience and professionalism kicked in and knew the exactly the steps to take to resolve the matter. Lacy is truly exceptional not just as a lawyer but as a compassionate person! I am in a much better place today, to a large extent to the extra efforts that Lacy LaFour did for me. As there are many attorneys out there to go through the process, none are more results driven than Lacy LaFour!

Lacy LaFour combines knowledge, experience, honesty, integrity, strength and empathy in a fearless package. She led me through an extremely difficult divorce, and did not back down, even when the opposition was often dishonest and even hateful. Ms. LaFour secured a very impressive settlement for me, despite the very complicated nature of the marital assets. She was an advocate for my children, and fought for them to receive the very best outcome the law would allow. Lacy LaFour expertly handled my divorce from beginning to end, and I am beyond grateful to her.

Lacy LaFour really understood my situation and knew what needed to be done to get me to the end result. Lacy was always a step ahead and always had the right documentation prepared. Lacy would personally call me and keep me up to date with issues and seem to have a true interest in me and my family. Lacy is very good, I would recommend her.

The decision to dissolve our family with my former husband was made by me after 6 months of failed marriage counseling. Naturally, it did not stand well with the controlling/abusive personality that he had. The rage and anger started immediately after I told him about my decision. At that point the age of our three children was 7, 3 and 1.... On top of that we never had a prenuptial agreement or a clear documented division for my separate property. (I had assets he had liabilities going into the marriage..) I was initially referred to another family lawyer by a friend. My friend just wanted to delay the date of the divorce. That was a huge mistake on my side, since it was a loss of time/money/health for me. That lawyer has done nothing to protect/defend me. I ended up losing time/health/money. I started interviewing other family law attorneys and there were about 2-3 before her I spoke with Lacy. She was referred to me through business acquaintances. The second I met her I realized - "That is it! I don't need to search anymore". Lacy completely shocked me with the combination of her youth/beauty and obvious toughness, intelligence, expertise, knowledge and the readiness to be there for me. I felt very protected by her presence in my life then and this is what I really needed at that point. When Lacy will become your attorney, this is what she will do for you (since this is what she has done for me): 1) She will start moving your controlling husband out of your house the second you hire her. It took her a couple of days for him to say "I am moving out..." as opposed to 5 months of "This is my house and take me to court" with the previous lawyer. 2) She will be in charge of your case and will remind all the parties involved of what will and will not fly in the court. In other words, with her legal expertise and knowledge of how things work in Houston, TX, you are in good hands if you ever need to go to a court situation. 3) She will control your other spouse and his (hers) abusive attorney, if that's the case. They will realize that the passive/aggressive tactics they used on other people before do not work anymore. 4) She will be on call/text/email with her expertise and support around the clock. 5) Lacy will know what will and will not be approved by a particular judge/court in a Harris County in Houston. It will be extremely beneficial during your mediation process, since your opponent will be losing his/hers argument. 6) She will come fully prepared for the mediation. We had rental properties, a business, stock investments, MY undocumented separate property that HE was never going to admit. Lacy knew how to handle those difficult property division cases, when there is no prenuptial agreement. The mediator she recommended for our case was not necessarily the cheapest in town. However, his expertise guaranteed our successful settlement that night without the need to go to court. 7) During the whole divorce and the mediation in particular Lacy was very sharp, tough and fighting for me and my children's interests . She was there for me at all times, I felt her continuous support and this is extremely invaluable, especially considering the control and abuse of my former husband. I have personally worked in a tough professional world for about 12 years and I do not think you can find a better attorney for yourself, especially if your spouse is controlling and your case is financially difficult to settle.

Lacy was my lawyer during a very difficult divorce where my ex had hidden money all over the place. I actually started working with her when I had gone into a firm to meet with another lawyer at the recommendation of a friend. It was clear within two months that Lacy was the one that new my case, my children and she had a remarkable understanding of my ex-husband's "issues" and she could predict with considerable accuracy what he was doing in his efforts to undermine and manipulate me. I also believe that Lacy was much more respected by my ex's lawyer than was my original lawyer, which made agreements much easier to come by. When Lacy told me she was leaving her office to open her own office, I truly panicked. She knew every fact and detail of my case, she was the only one that helped me to understand some things that were very complicated to me, and I was scared all would be lost and I would be stuck in litigation for years. I knew I had to go with her, and I did. I am still so pleased with my decision. My case never missed a beat, the transition for me was seamless, and Lacy performed beautifully in the final arbitration of the matters we could not settle. I really cannot say enough about her. She saved my life, changed my life, taught me how to deal with a narcissist ex husband, and I got a great property division. I hope that I never have to go through anything like that again, but if I do, Lacy will definitely be the person representing me.

Lacy did a great job of getting me through negotiation and settlement on a divorce involving 3 kids and significant and complicated assets. Her calmness throughout the process and ability to devise a strategy to get the best outcome for my family really impressed me. At each turn, where the opposing council made things difficult and tried to hold things up, she offered a solution that accomplished everyone's goals and quickly resolved conflict. She is tough and does a great job of assessing the reality of the situation and how to get the best possible outcome for her client. I would recommend her to a friend without hesitation.

Ms LaFour handled my divorce several years ago. My ex wife hired a particularly nasty lawyer who seemed to enjoy sending weekly memos accusing me of being a horrible person and a terrible father. I was very concerned that I might not see my kids and that my rights as their father would be taken away. Ms LaFour comforted me and assured me that everything was going to be fine. She was absolutely correct. Not only did I get the standard possession, I got an extra date night each week so that i get one on one time with each of my kids. It's been several years since the divorce and I've never been closer to my children. Date night is a huge hit and the kids always look forward to our special time together. In fact, my oldest now lives with me full time. They are all great kids, doing well in school, and are happy. Ms LaFour is largely responsible for this. Now I'm getting married again and Ms LaFour is handling my premarital agreement. She has my complete confidence and respect.
