Lori Blackwell was born and raised in Houston, Texas. She attended the University of Texas at Austin where she received her undergraduate degree of Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing. Ms. Blackwell received her Doctor of Jurisprudence from South Texas College of Law in December of 2007 and was admitted to the State Bar of Texas the following May.

Ms. Blackwell began her career practicing general civil litigation and was naturally drawn to the primary practice of family law. "Although the subject matter is often difficult, I feel that I am helping people move on to the next chapter in their lives." says Ms. Blackwell. Her compassionate interaction and background make her highly qualified for complex property division cases and high conflict custody cases alike.

In addition to high conflict and contested cases, Ms. Blackwell has successfully helped numerous clients navigate the procedural hurdles that can arise even in amicable divorces and other uncontested matters. Ms. Blackwell is also trained in the Collaborative process.

When she is not working, Ms. Blackwell enjoys spending time with friends and family along with volunteering with The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Mutton Bustin' Committee.
