Elizabeth Ann Beroes

We hired Elizabeth Beroes to represent us for a grandchild custody case. She was very nice to talk to and was very positive of winning our case. She gave us an estimate on a retainer for $2500. She said that this was a padded retainer to ensure that it would get us to mediation, so we decided... to hire her. Once we hired her, she told us multiple times that we would see our grand daughter by this date and that date, etc. It never came to pass. She explained the complete process to us which we found out moving forward that it was quite inaccurate. We haven't made it to the mediation yet and our retainer has been used up. The last hearing that we had with the court for status quo was not accepted since it was filed by our attorney incorrectly. We had to find this information out from another attorney since Elizabeth's office didn't know when I questioned them on this. We now owe her an additional $1200 to go to mediation which we just found out is no a mediation but a conciliatory hearing. Also, she also produced false documentation to the court which we now need need to pay our new attorney amend. So now we are at $3500 with her and this issue has not been settled. We were never kept in the loop on what was going on. We had to continue calling her to get an update on the case. When we would call, we would get charged for the call and would also get false infomation. We tried to talk all this through with her, but she was very defensive when we would question anything, so there was no reason to continue to try and straighten things out with her. This has been a very bad experience for me and my wife. We were told by Elizabeth that the cost to go to mediation would be $2500, now between her overcharging us and getting another attorney, we are at $7000 +.

I hired Elizabeth for my Divorce and full custody. My ex was a very mean wealthy man with a high powered attorney. Elizabeth took my case on reduced fee and I won full custody and support. Hiring her was the best decision I ever made. She is the best and anyone that says otherwise is a total stupid i...diot. The lawyer I had before her was a joke and she actually fixed all of his mistakes.

Elizabeth has been my lawyer for the past 10 yrs (approx). I needed property transferred and took a chance on a local (Penn & Main, Bloomfield). I immediately felt trust as a result of her genuiness, honesty & direct conversation. (I have had unpleasant experiences with lawyers in past, so I am fam...iliar...). Since then, she has handled other property & has done my will/living will. I have recommended her to others who also feel the same about her.
