Amazing Child Advocate

Ms. D’Andrea represented my children in my divorce matter and I felt from our first interaction that she could and would advocate zealously for by kids. She did not disappoint. Ms. D’Andrea met with my children regularly, called to check on how they were doing, made contact with their doctors, teache...rs, and therapist. She went the extra mile for my kids to get to know them and learn what was in their best interests. Children are the most innocent and vulnerable participants in our legal system and I feel blessed to have had such a thoughful and sharp representative for my children in the courtroom. Without her voice being heard on their behalf I believe my children would have suffered. At times, my ex engaged in personal attacks against Ms. D’Andrea because she advocated for my kids contrary to the wishes of their dad but she did not back down or pander to the intimidation tactics. I can only imagine an attorney of her caliber has grown accustomed to being bad mouthed by those she opposes but I was impressed by her tenacity and commitment to my kids. She has been an angel in their lives when they desperately needed one. I am forever in her debt.

Great job!

I battled my ex in family court for over two years and I hired Liz after I fired one of the local “good ole boys” due to his ineffective representation and completely inadequate communication skills. Don’t be fooled...the guy with 30 years experience isn’t necessarily the best for the job. I found Li...z to be direct and honest- she was able to articulate the risks and benefits of different courses of action clearly for me which was important because as a layperson I had never been through this before. She helped me obtain a fair resolution which allows me to be an equal partner in raising my children. She was always timely in responding to me and didn’t make promises she couldn’t deliver on. She was sensitive and compassionate but didn’t take any nonsense from the other side who tried every trick they could think of to minimize my role in my kids lives. I can’t thank you enough, Liz, for the guidance you offered and the patience you showed me (despite my never ending questions!). I would go back to Liz again in a heartbeat if ever the need arose.

Amazing

Liz was appointed to my case. I could not have been more blessed. I will consult with her always. She was and continues to be phenomenal. Compassionate and understanding of reality and how to translate it into the court room. Very grateful for her outstanding work.

Don't waste your time elsewhere

Having been married for 26 years, my divorce was extremely complicated. We had real estate, kids, businesses, and every other entanglement you can think of. Liz really was a port in an overwhelming storm. She explained everything to me in detail and didn't add to my anxiety (like the first two lawyer...s I met with had done). She is compassionate and thoughtful and she got me and my family through a very difficult time. I can't say enough about Liz and the work she does but perhaps the best indicator of Liz's skill and ability was when my ex said when leaving the courthouse "I wish I had hired her". I refer everyone I know to Liz and will continue to do so with complete confidence.

The Right Lawyer, Right From the Beginning....

There are three things that matter to most of us...our home, family and finances. A divorce can threaten ALL of them. You need the right attorney on your side, right from the beginning. Hiring Elizabeth D'Andrea would prove to be the first of many good decisions I would soon make. She knows the l...aw... She is well respected in the legal community...and she didn't give up. Do you truly know how important that is? The next few months / year will prove to be emotionally draining like no other. There were so many times I was exhausted from the entire process - but that's why you have an attorney - to fight FOR you. She knew when to push, when to pull...and when to sit tight. I am on the other side of my divorce now, but so very glad Elizabeth D'Andrea was on MY side.
