The Law Office of L.C. Nwora, PLLC handles three connected practices out of one Houston office: criminal defense, personal injury, and family law. Each is a discipline that demands deep procedural knowledge of the Harris County courts and the Texas statutes that govern them. Founding attorney Lorraine Nwora's 6 years of prosecutorial experience shape every case we accept, whether the client is sitting across from a felony charge, recovering from a wreck on the Katy Freeway, or fighting for custody at the Family Law Center.

Below you will find every practice area the firm covers, grouped by discipline. Each linked page goes deeper into the procedure, the costs, the warning signs that mean it is time to call, and the FAQs we hear most. Ready to talk through your case?

How the Firm Approaches Every Case

How the Firm Approaches Every Case

Houston has no shortage of law firms. What sets the Law Office of L.C. Nwora, PLLC apart is the combination of prosecutorial perspective, focused practice areas, and direct attorney access. Lorraine Nwora spent 6 years inside the Texas criminal justice system before building this firm, and that experience translates into sharper case evaluations across every discipline. She knows what the State takes seriously, where investigations break down, and how negotiating leverage really works at the Harris County courthouse.

The firm also keeps the door open across all three practices for clients whose lives have collided with multiple legal problems at once. A divorce that overlaps with a criminal allegation, an injury claim that touches a parent's custody fight - these matters move better when one firm is handling the whole picture. More on the founding attorney's background is on the about page, or reach the Houston law office to discuss your case.

Common Questions Across Practice Areas

How are legal fees structured at the firm?

Fee structure depends on the practice area. Criminal defense matters use flat fees for misdemeanors and structured retainers for felonies. Personal injury cases run on contingency: no recovery, no fee. Family law matters typically use an upfront retainer with hourly billing against it. We give a clear written agreement at the consultation.

Do you handle cases in Fort Bend County?

Yes. We appear regularly at the Fort Bend County Justice Center in Richmond and accept criminal, injury, and family matters across the county. Details on our Fort Bend County legal practice cover the county-specific procedures.

Can the firm handle multiple matter types for one client?

Yes, and it is one of the reasons clients choose us. When a single life event triggers a criminal matter and a family law fight, or an injury claim and an unrelated criminal case, we coordinate the strategy rather than passing the client between firms. Call (832) 703-0231 to discuss multi-matter representation.

How long does a typical case take?

Misdemeanors usually resolve in 3 to 9 months. Felonies can take a year or longer. Personal injury claims often run 12 to 24 months from accident to settlement. Family law cases vary widely based on whether the matter is contested. We give a realistic timeline at your consultation.

What if my case is outside Harris County?

We accept matters across greater Houston, Harris County, Fort Bend County, and Dallas County when the facts genuinely warrant our involvement. For purely local matters in distant Texas counties, we will often refer to a more conveniently located firm rather than stretch ourselves thin.
