Elizabeth Ashley Pfenson

I retained Ms. Pfenson last year (after interviewing a few others) to fight a motion to modify custody. The opposing council was decidedly more “seasoned” and thought she could bully Ms. Pfenson with threats and such. All she did was get to see a real attorney at work. Ms. Pfenson proved that not ...only did the other attorney not know the Maryland Rules but also that the opposing side had made the terrible mistake of underestimating her skills. Ms. Pfenson was so thorough that his case was thrown out and he was ordered to pay a portion of my legal fees. Opposing council was flabbergasted. Ms. Pfenson is more than capable of handling everything that is thrown at her and carries herself with the utmost professionalism and class while knowing the intricate details of the law. Don’t let her polished look and pleasant demeanor fool you into thinking that she can’t go toe-to-toe with any other attorney. She is a formidable adversary and I would tell you that it is best to have her on your side than opposing you. On top of this, she is very personable, responsive, and easy to talk to. Seems unusual to find that combination of skills and qualities but Ms. Pfenson has them. I would recommend her to anyone dealing with a family law matter. I feel very confident having her on my side. She plays to win. Highly recommend her.

Elizabeth always addressed my concerns in a very prompt and compassionate manner. She is smart, very thorough, and direct. Going through a divorce is stressful enough so it is very important that you feel confident that your attorney. In some of our cases our lives and the lives of our children re...ally depend on the work your attorney does for you. I would not wish a high conflict divorce on anybody but if you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of one, I would HIGHLY recommend Ms. Pfenson.

I hired Elizabeth for counsel on a child support modification that was somewhat complicated and complex. From the first meeting with her, I knew I had selected the right attorney to handle my case. She took the time to thoroughly understand the case and my situation. My only regret is not retaining ...her and the BAR Law firm team for my initial divorce proceedings. If you are in need for a family lawyer, I highly recommend her.

Elizabeth has all the traits you want in an attorney. She's a committed professional; who is responsive, while being compassionate, understanding and pleasant. But what truly makes Elizabeth remarkable to me was her act of altruism on my behalf. I had already filed for custody of my grandson in An...ne Arundel County, which is not an easy case to win in the State of Maryland. After I realized the surmountable task ahead, I retained Elizabeth’s firm. Elizabeth recommended transferring my case to another jurisdiction and a local attorney; a strategy to benefit the success of my case outcome, but also resulting in a faster resolution and at less legal cost to me. She was efficient and professional in working with the other attorney to formally transfer the case. Elizabeth’s plan not only worked brilliantly, I was granted custody of my grandson within four months, including the transfer. This case could have dragged on to the detriment of my grandson and at a considerable expense to me. I will be forever grateful in how Elizabeth put the welfare of my grandson, first.

Elizabeth Pfenson, who practices in the Annapolis, Maryland area, handled my divorce last year. I didn't want anything but out of a long, abusive relationship and an equitable division of the sale of our house. A friend suggested Ms. Pfenson, who turned out to be as efficient, upfront and savvy as sh...e was warm, congenial and assuring. Plus, she speaks layperson's English, not legalese gobbledegook. The divorce went through so quickly, and at such a reasonable cost, the ex - in a first for him - paid half the fee. I would and already have recommended Ms. Pfenson's services.
