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.

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.

Zero star attorney

There is nothing this lady did right. After wasting thousands I eventually fired her and represented myself getting the results I needed soon after. She was never prepared she was hard to get in touch with she never filed any paperwork on time and had an excuse as to why. I practically had to beg her... to do her job, a child custody case that could have easily been resolved got pushed back for months and months simply because of her lack of caring and never filing motions in a timely manner. I stuck around as long as I did because I had already paid her unfortunately but please save your money and protect your sanity. She made an already traumatizing experience ten times harder because she is who I paid for assistance and every hearing it felt as if she didn’t even know what client she was representing or what matter she was presenting on. Reminded me of when I used to study for a test the day before the test. She also showed up for hearings as if she had just woken up. Everything about her was unprofessional from her appearance to the way she handled my case. You are better off representing yourself than hiring her, which is what I did in the end and immediately got the results WE were aiming for at the start of the case simply by putting in the effort and speaking and countering to the judge instead of just letting what the opposing party said fly to get the hearing over with. Very disappointing attorney. I would rate zero stars if I could.

A thief and crook

Please do not hire Liz. She will act all concerned in the beginning but once she has your money she will disappear and be harder to find than waldo. We all know when you are hiring a lawyer you are clearly already going through a tough time in life, save yourself the double trouble and don't hire Li...z. I wish I would have listened to some of the other bad reviews. The positive ones are left by her friends and family.
