Highly would not recommend, you've been warned

I can't get ahead with custody due to her piss poor representation. One lawyer quoted me extra "to clean up her mess"...or "my mess too because I'm the one that hired her"is what he said. She never called on time, an hour would go by before she finally called, being neive, I had to make edits to docu...ments she drafted, she almost had myself and herself sanctioned $17,000 due to her being late on everything (luckily she's one of the judges supporters, so her donations may have saved her) oh to top it off, she was 20 minutes late to court, she has me go to the stand to be questioned, but due to her lateness was not able to question the other party in my custody hearing. Make sure you find a real "lawyer" and not a Dollar Tree lawyer, she sets the tone for the rest of any hearings that may come. She's a scam artist, not a lawyer.

A Lawyer That Cares

Fortunately I didn't end up needing legal services but the help provided by Mrs. Elizabeth and providing me documentation free of charge speaks volumes about her Character and really caring about her clients. Highly recommend.

Disappointed with Representation and Communication

Disappointed with Representation and Communication I hired Elizabeth Carlene Dantism for a child-custody matter and was very disappointed with the experience. Communication was poor—my calls and messages often went unanswered, and I rarely received timely updates on the status of my case. Several ...important items were filed late or nearly late, with repeated explanations about technical problems (computer, internet, printer, AC, etc.). These delays increased my stress and made me lose confidence in the handling of my case. I also felt my case did not receive the necessary attention. Basic tasks took longer than expected, and discussions about how my evidence would be handled left me uncomfortable and unclear about the plan. Meanwhile, I was frequently reminded about payments without seeing corresponding progress. Based on my experience, I would not hire this attorney again. If you’re considering working with her, I recommend asking specific questions upfront about communication, deadlines, and evidence-handling, and getting those commitments in writing.

NEGATIVE ZERO

This summer I had a terrible experience with this attorney. She consistently lied, failed to file paperwork when she said she would, and took my money without rendering the promised services. Family court is already hard and expensive enough without dealing with an attorney who treats you with the sa...me level of dishonesty and manipulation as the other side. I will never use her again. She is rude, unprofessional, and makes countless excuses. Her paperwork is always full of errors that could significantly impact your case. She shows up to court unprepared, looking disheveled and frumpy. During our conversations, she often forgot what she had previously said. Court dates are never within scope because she doesn’t file in time. The positive reviews must be written by herself because all the negative experiences people have shared can't be untrue. Avoid this attorney if you want someone reliable and professional.

Lied about filing answer claims, now we have a lawsuit against us

Paid Liz Dantism to defend myself and a friend against a lawsuit. She said she submitted the answer claims, and it was disposed of by the judge. Come to find out, now, after 2 years, there is acutally an active lawsuit against my friend! The answer claims were never filed. The plaintiff won a fraudu...lent lawsuit full of lies. The poor defendant wasn't even in the state during the claims on the suit. It was shown in the answer claims i filled out! Now i have to find a new lawyer to try to over turn this stupid illegal, fraudulent lawsuit. Unless you want to be defeated, let down and disappointed in every way, do not hire Liz.

  • 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.
