Introduction
Board Certification in Family Law from the Texas Board of Legal Specialization requires passing a written examination, documenting substantial case experience across the range of family law matters, and receiving favorable evaluations from judges and fellow attorneys. Fewer than one percent of Texas lawyers hold this certification, and Lennea Cannon is among them. Her Houston family law practice, Cannon Law Texas, represents clients in divorce, child custody, grandparents rights, property division, and post-judgment custody modification proceedings throughout Houston and surrounding Texas counties.
Lennea Cannon approaches emotionally charged family proceedings with a focus on keeping the client’s end goals in view throughout the process. Family law matters can become reactive when parties are focused on the immediate conflict rather than the long-term outcomes that actually matter, and she works to provide precise information and measured guidance that keeps clients strategically oriented at each stage. Former clients have reported favorable results in custody modifications, grandparent visitation proceedings, and complex divorce matters, describing her preparation as thorough and her representation as effective under pressure.
Practice Areas
Divorce: Texas is a community property state in which marital assets and debts are generally divided equally between spouses absent a valid agreement specifying otherwise. The firm guides clients through property characterization, division analysis, and negotiation or litigation of divorce terms with the depth of knowledge that Board Certification in Family Law reflects.
Child Custody: Custody in Texas is structured through conservatorship designations and possession orders. The firm advocates for parenting arrangements that serve the best interest of the children involved and protect each client’s parental rights, whether the matter is proceeding to agreement or requires contested litigation.
Grandparents Rights: Texas law provides limited but real rights for grandparents to seek court-ordered access to grandchildren under specific circumstances. These cases require detailed knowledge of the statutory requirements and the case law interpreting those provisions. The firm handles grandparent visitation and custody actions with that level of preparation.
Property Division: Complex divorce cases frequently involve business ownership interests, retirement and investment accounts, real property in multiple jurisdictions, and other assets requiring professional valuation and careful legal strategy. The firm addresses these complexities directly rather than applying generic approaches to individual situations.
Custody Modifications: Custody orders entered at the time of divorce or in prior proceedings are subject to modification when a material and substantial change in circumstances has occurred. The firm represents clients seeking modifications and those defending against modification efforts, in both uncontested and contested modification proceedings in Houston-area courts.
Contested and Uncontested Divorce: Not every divorce requires full litigation. The firm handles both contested matters that proceed through trial and uncontested cases where parties have reached agreement on the core issues, with the same attention to legal accuracy and protection of client rights in both contexts.
