Divorce
Often times, divorce and other family law matters rank as one of the most difficult experiences in a person's life. In addition to turmoil and friction at home, clients face the complicated process of going through a divorce and not knowing what to expect. Tempers flare, expectations aren't met, and all the while, relationships end with children often caught in the middle.
Child Support
Senior attorney Elisa Reiter focuses her practice on family law matters, including simple to complex divorces, modifications of child support and custody (parental alienation and reunification cases), grandparent rights, child welfare cases, interventions, LGBT issues, elder law issues, as well as cohabitation, premarital and post marital agreements. Elisa’s trademark: TENACIOUS ADVOCACY. Elisa Reiter graduated from SMU School of Law at the age of 22, later returning to teach family law. She holds an AV Preeminent Rating as a trial lawyer from Martindale Hubbell, peer-reviewed at the highest level of professional excellence for legal expertise, communication skills and ethical standards.
Child Custody and Visitation
Lori Hockett joined Underwood Perkins in January 2015 as Of Counsel after serving as presiding judge of the 255th District Family Court in Dallas County for eight years. While on the bench, Lori handled hundreds of complex property and child custody cases and has been Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization since 1996. As an Assistant District Attorney in Dallas and later in private practice, Lori developed her trial skills and gained a unique perspective that allows her to assist families as they work through the transition of divorce and custody disputes. Now, Lori focuses her practice on “collaborative family law” cases where the parties commit to resolving their disputes without using the court system. With the help of specially trained collaborative lawyers as well as financial and mental health professionals trained to work as neutrals, the team works together to reach a positive resolution for both sides, instead of forcing them to square off against each other and inflict more pain through litigation. Lori’s experience as a family court judge and a family lawyer maximizes her ability to successfully guide both parties in the collaborative process. She has experienced firsthand the damage that results both financially and emotionally when families seek court intervention to resolve their issues. Lori can assist her clients to both find the best solutions and help foster and maintain a civil relationship for the whole family for years to come. Lori also has a mediation practice. See her website http://www.hockettmediation.com/ for more information.
