Highly respected

To begin, it’s tough to describe an attorney who’s words in court are the equivalent to a firing squad ready to unleash a barrage of justice upon anyone on the opposite side of her counsel? An attorney with a strong conviction to meet her clients needs that won’t stop until those needs are met. I hig...hly recommend having Liz on your side. Hire this woman and move forward with confidence knowing that you’ll get the outcome that is best for all involved.

The Extra Mile

Elizabeth is a fantastic Attorney; her experience in PA and knowledge of the judicial system really makes it easy to trust her even with some of the most difficult life situations. Elizabeth is always willing to not only take a personal interest in your situation but also makes certain each and every... possible scenario is reviewed so that there are no surprises as you move through the legal process. Liz is extremely attentive, willing to listen and provide valuable insight based on her years of experience. I would not be where I am today without her guidance and trustworthiness. I would recommend Ms.Srinivasan to anyone in need of legal counsel regarding her specialties.

Great lawyer

Elizabeth Srinivasan is a Great lawyer . She took on my case in an extremely short time frame and was able to help me out and get the ball rolling immediately after I first contacted her firm. She is professional and extremely knowledgeable and very caring . Thank you Elizabeth, for your outstanding ...communication as well, I always felt like I knew what the next step was and I was informed of all developments in a very timely manner. I absolutely recommend her services.

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.

She really cares about her clients

I was lucky enough to be referred to Liz to handle a PFA case. I was not only very impressed with her knowledge and professionalism, but her genuine compassion for me and the situation. She worked very hard in preparation and left no stone unturned. We had a favorable outcome and for that I am foreve...r grateful. If you want an attorney that will put in the work and genuinely cares about the cases she accepts, look no further than Elizabeth Srinivasan.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
