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.

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.

Compassionate and Professional

At the most emotionally difficult time in my life, Elizabeth D'Andrea went the extra mile to be not only exceptional at her role as my lawyer, but she was very compassionate and patient as well. She understood that decisions in divorce are not easily made and there is a constant fight between the he...ad and the heart. Liz helped me work through these decisions by using her exemplary knowledge of the law and putting things in a perspective which made the decisions a little easier to make. In a nutshell, Liz knows the law and is not shaken by the opposing counsel's tactics BECAUSE of her knowledge of the law. I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone facing this incredibly draining process to put their trust in Liz. In the end, I gained a friend and I can't thank Liz enough.

Very Happy

I retained Liz to represent me in my divorce based on a recommendation from a friend. I can't say enough good things about Liz. She was always prepared for court appearances and explained each step of the process. She didn't make me feel like I was a bother or a burden like many attorneys do. She nev...er left me waiting days upon days for return telephone calls or responses to my emails. Through her hard work I was able to achieve the best possible outcome in a very difficult situation. I would not hesitate to hire Liz again if I ever had the need.
