About Lisa G. Garza

Lisa G. Garza, Attorney at Law

Lisa G. Garza has practiced family law in Texas for more than 30 years. She founded the Law Offices of Lisa G. Garza in Dallas in 2002, and the firm has since added a second office in McKinney, where clients are seen by appointment. Child support — in all its forms — has been a constant thread through her practice.

Child support cases look simple on paper. A table, a percentage, a number. In practice, they involve contested income figures, disputed business expenses, medical support disputes, and enforcement battles that can stretch for years. Lisa has handled every phase: establishing initial orders in divorce and SAPCR cases, modifying orders when circumstances change, pursuing contempt against non-paying parents, and defending clients against enforcement actions where the claimed arrears are disputed.

An Integrated Approach

Lisa approaches family law cases the way a financial analyst would approach a balance sheet — with precision and attention to what the numbers actually say. In child support matters, this means:

• Carefully reviewing how the other side calculated net resources — and identifying errors
• Scrutinizing business deductions in self-employment cases
• Presenting lifestyle evidence when income is being understated
• Structuring orders clearly, so enforcement is straightforward if needed
• Collaborating with forensic accountants and financial experts when the income picture is complex

Child support doesn't exist in isolation. It intersects with property division (who keeps the house affects monthly cash flow), custody and possession (who has the child and when affects the calculation), and tax planning (dependency exemptions, tax credit allocation). Lisa keeps all these threads in view when advising clients on any one of them.

Serving Collin County Families

Lisa handles child support matters in the family courts of Collin County, including the 256th, 380th, 401st, and 417th District Courts and the Collin County Court at Law. She represents clients from McKinney, Frisco, Plano, Allen, Prosper, Celina, Anna, Melissa, Princeton, Wylie, and throughout Collin County and North Texas.

She is admitted to practice in all Texas courts. The Law Offices of Lisa G. Garza, P.C. has its main office in Dallas and a McKinney office, by appointment only, convenient to the Collin County courthouse at 2100 Bloomdale Road in McKinney and accessible to clients throughout the county.

What Clients Can Expect

Lisa's practice is built on directness. When you consult with her, you get an honest assessment of your situation — the strengths, the weaknesses, and the realistic range of outcomes. She explains how Texas law applies to your facts, not just how it reads in the statute. She prepares carefully and communicates clearly, because clients who understand their case make better decisions.

Child support cases can move slowly through the court system or quickly, depending on the type of relief sought. Enforcement matters can often be calendared for hearing within weeks; modification trials on a contested case may take longer. Lisa will give you a realistic timeline based on the Collin County docket and the specific claims involved.
