She is amazing - Very caring and helpyful lawyer

We referred to her by a family friend and can't thank her enough helping out my sister in a one of the most bizarre, unique divorce cases. She's is very caring, intelligent,and smart lawyer. She made whole process easy, straight forward for us. She is willing to go extra mile to help out her clien...t and get the justice they deserve. From the very first meeting we knew she is the right lawyer to represent my sister. She knows the ins and out of judicial system and knows how to tackle the difficult, sensitive matters. Her billing rates are fair. We highly recommend Elizabeth Srinivasan for Family law matters.

Total Professional

I came to Liz a few months ago with my case hanging on the edge. She came up with a game plan and helped me get my kids back in my life. I’m totally amazed by her professionalism and her dedication to me winning my case. I would fully recommend her to help you with your family law cases.

BEST Divorce attorney that one could have

Elizabeth is the best Divorce lawyer that I came across. She represented me in a very complex divorce. I had hired two different lawyers for 2.5 years. Both did nothing but stretched the divorce time unnecessary to make money out of me. I met with Elizabeth accidentally and that was my life changing ...event. As soon as switched over to her, she got the job done within few weeks with a reasonable fee. She is highly competent, well organized, very detail oriented and super knowledgeable divorce attorney. She took my case very seriously and directed me in the right direction. She negotiated the spousal alimony for me and got me the best deal that I could ever avail. Without her, I couldn’t even have settled my divorce so quickly. Elizabeth was my life saver. She helped me when I was under severe financial and emotional stress. I am grateful to Elizabeth for my quick divorce settlement and get my life back to normal. She is the BEST attorney that one could have. I HIGHLY recommend her to represent anyone for family law related cases.

I'd pick her EVERY TIME!

I met Liz by accident, but I'm glad I it happened. I was very nervous and lacked the confidence while trying to fight for my two little girls. I had no idea how the legal system worked and wasn't sure where to start. Liz put all of that anxiety to rest. She was available whenever I needed her. Five m...inutes into the consultation I knew she was the one. She knows the law. She knew exactly what had to be done and she got it done. No time was wasted, no question went unanswered, and no issue was left unresolved. She helped me get my babies back! She shows compassion and takes pride in what she does. I would recommend her to anyone. I have absolutely 0 complaints.

I am in awe of Elizabeth Srinivasan's skill as an attorney

Elizabeth Srinivasan recently oversaw my PFA, relocation, custody and divorce case paperwork in a very complex family law case. She is extraordinarily knowledgeable, caring, thoughtful, ethical, diligent, an awesome negotiator and fantastic to watch in action. I really felt that she was my advocate... in the most sincere and valuable sense. If you are able to retain Elizabeth, you will be very lucky because of her ability, dedication and skill. In the past, I have only worked with lawyers who seemed only to be concerned with their bottom line. Elizabeth is not that way. She generally is concerned with the welfare of her clients and the outcome of their cases. Her advice and experience is invaluable. I was so impressed by her that I cannot say enough. I would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone looking for an excellent attorney for representation.
