Great attorney! Highly recommend.

BEST. DIVORCE. ATTORNEY. EVER.

Lanny and his associates provided a very at home atmosphere, being very realistic and honest. I never had to wait long for a response, whether it be their office email accounts or their personal phones via text messages or phone calls. Lanny and Autumn Ray were very personable and made me feel comfortable with the situations that were thrown at me during my divorce process. I can honestly say that Lanny Ray did what he could to have my divorce turn out the way it needed to. Definitely suggest Lanny and his team for divorce and custody situations.

I want to thank the law office of Mrs Patty Hightower for helping me in my daughters case she did everything to protect my daughter and I commend her for it and Mrs Rios for answering questions and concerns thank you couldn’t be more grateful.

I contacted Patti’s office at the last minute and gave vague details of the case. They quoted me half the price of some other attorneys and scheduled a consultation on a holiday (MLK) when the office should’ve been closed. Upon reviewing details and documents, Patti realized that they had misunderstood the case, at which point she told me the price would change... and she cut it in half. She didn’t have to do that, but she was honest and forward about it. She was also very realistic; she didn’t give dramatic speeches or false promises; she didn’t push for more demands (meaning more time in court and more money for herself). Instead, she used her extensive experience to predict the outcome and how she would attain it. And she was absolutely right. This world needs more attorneys like Patti J Hightower; experienced, knowledgeable, honest, reasonable, and caring.

In a heartbeat I would Hire Mrs. Hightower again! Her work was exemplary. Her and her team are excellent communicators and tell you what she needs from you. Their response time to emails was usually within minutes, occasionally hours during the business week. Emails sent on weekends almost always had a response by 10am the following business day. When working with Mrs. Hightower and her team, I felt like I was a member of the team and not just the “paycheck”. During my time working with her team, I had one emotional reaction to something the other side had done, and her team was professional, courteous, and professional sympathetic during that event. She does a fantastic job managing expectations and is very clear about what to expect. When I first spoke with Mrs. Hightower, my case was in another county and needed transferring. She said that we could not begin work on the case until it was transferred, and true to her word she got my case transferred and the first hearings scheduled as promptly as possible within the time frame that she predicted. I personally had two hearings with her- Temporary Orders and Final Orders hearings. During Temporary Orders she was honest about what to expect and that I would likely only get temporary custody of one of my three children, but we were trying for all three due to the really high bar we had to reach. This is ultimately what happened. When the other side refused to sign the temporary orders, she was quick to file a motion to admit into record and get signed by the judge. During Final hearings she stated that the bar to meet our desired end state was much lower and had a much higher chance of success given the information, evidence, and testimony. We were granted custody of all three of my children. Through all of it, in every in-person meeting and conference call she was always clear: We can be as prepared as we can be, and its still up to the Judge. As a Father in Texas, I had a very low probability of being granted custody. I set out with the intent of doing everything Mrs. Hightower asked me to do, providing every document she asked for, and working as a member of the team; this was the best way to be successful - and it worked. If anyone were to ask me what advice to give when working with Mrs. Hightower it is this - be calm, collected, and pro-active. Do everything you can to control your emotions. Provide everything she asks for. Listen to her when she tells you what to expect. Always remember that despite whatever happens, and everything you have done to be successful, it’s still up to the judge. Mrs. Hightower and team (I can’t name you here, but you know who you are), THANK YOU!

He is so down to earth. My kind of people!!!
