About Elizabeth

Divorce mediator providing creative and compassionate solutions, without going to court

I am a dedicated Collaborative divorce attorney and trained mediator. My practice focuses on assisting anyone who is thinking about a divorce and wants to do so in a dignified and mature manner. I am specially trained to help you navigate this path in a way that will not financially or emotionally bankrupt you or your family. And best of all, it does not involve the courts. Collaborative divorce is a totally private process, with a team of professionals who are there to assist you with finding a better way forward and coming up with an agreement that you and your family can live with for years to come. Mediation is a confidential process that provides you with a safe setting where you can work together with your spouse, or significant other, with a neutral person there to facilitate the settlement talks. Again, the tremendous benefit to you is that there is no court involvement at all. Please reach out for a free consultation to see if either Collaborative divorce or mediation may be the right fit for you.

Review Elizabeth Vaz

Best law firm experience ever!

Posted by

I visited this law firm in hopes they could help me with divorce options. After speaking with Elizabeth, I immediately felt comfortable with how things would pan out. She was able to talk me out of doing a contested divorce and we worked out some details where an uncontested divorce was the best option. She was a pleasure to work with and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend this law firm!

Competence at it's Pinnacle!

Posted by

Elizabeth Vaz is my attorney in a custody/vistation case with my children's mother. There were so many intricacies with the case because of the other party's reluctance to follow the court order in addition to various other issues. The manner in which my attorney handled these dilemmas was so competent and professional. Her knowledge and know-how in what course of action we should undertake to address the different situations we were faced with was truly remarkable. I was never in doubt or had to question if I should get a second opinion or if I was in the right hands. She was in constant contact with me every step of the way which ultimately provided me with a peace of mind that was priceless during those turbulent time. I would recommend anyone to Ms Vaz and be rest assured that I'm giving a great recommendation.

Beyond Amazing!

Posted by

To say Liz was amazing would be an understatement! She is extremely knowledgeable and compassionate. She takes the time to address all of your questions and concerns and is very attentive to your needs. She goes above and beyond to fight for you and to keep you out of court. She makes a very emotional stressful situation as easy on her clients as possible. Finding Liz's firm was a blessing and I will forever be grateful for what she has done for me. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Exceptional!

Liz was AMAZING! I knew she was the attorney for me during the initial consultation. She is extremely attentive, thorough, compassionate and understanding. She goes "above and beyond," and will fight for you and for what is right! As difficult as my situation was for me, working with Liz felt like family, not just a client.

One of a Kind - a Gem!

Posted by

Upon meeting Liz, I knew I was introduced to a top of the line LI Attorney who could help me with everything I needed. Her genuine nature, confidence and compassion helped me to feel assured that I had the guidance and support I needed during the most fragile time in my life. I couldn't be more appreciate and satisfied with all of the services that could be provided to me. I am currently in transition, however, Liz will be the one I call once I am ready to proceed, thank you!

Honest and reliable

Posted by

I went to see Vaz Law about how I could divorce from my husband and get custody of my kids without spending all of our money. I met Liz Vaz who was very nice and very honest. She told me that I do not have to go to court to get divorce and that I may not like the outcome if we went to court anyway and she explained why he has rights in New York that I did n't even know about. She told me about different way to divorce and now my divorce is waiting for the court to sign it, and I never had to go to court. I would recommend her to other people who need help and an honest opinion.

Liz and I have worked together on several matters and I have never ceased to be impressed by her grasp of the law, her integrity, her responsiveness and her genuine caring for what is best not only for her client but for the whole family.
