also known as Elizabeth Cameron Thompson, Elizabeth Anne Cameron Thompson, Elizabeth Thompson
I am a litigation attorney with more than 20 years' experience. I am licensed in Washington, Hawaii and North Carolina. Recently, I have relocated to the Asheville, North Carolina area, and I am a litigation attorney with the firm Allen Stahl & Kilbourne, PLLC. Too often in legal matters, common sense and compassion are missing. After practicing law for more than 20 years, I have developed exemplary skills as an attorney; however, I always bring common sense and compassion to the table with regard to my clients' situations.
I was raised in Southeast Asia as the dependent of a CIA field officer. Shortly after returning to the United States, I attended Vassar College and graduated with a dual degree in Old and Middle English and Music, with a minor in Physics. I worked in New York City for several years, performing research related to the Stock Exchange, for Smith Barney. I was raising my three young brothers at the time, and we eventually moved to Hawaii where I lived for 13 years. There, I attended the William S. Richardson School of Law to obtain my J.D., graduating second in my class. I was invited and participated in law review, while continuing to compete in moot court competitions. I always had a strong interest in litigation and advocacy, and during law school I participated in moot court competitions around the country. I also participated as an editor on law review. My husband and I left Hawaii in 2002, to settle in the Seattle area. I started at a large Seattle firm, but find I do my best work in a smaller firm environment, where my focus can be on the client and getting results. I established my own firm so that I could offer my clients even more flexibility and where I could be available directly to them. I have now joined an up-and-coming firm of talented litigators in Asheville, North Carolina.
My practice is devoted to civil litigation with a focus on real estate, construction law, municipal law and appellate practice. However, I have experience handling a wide variety of civil cases, including employment law, property damage claims, contract disputes and land use issues. I have handled administrative and APA cases.
I am accessible to my clients and personally handle their cases. I am happy to meet with clients after work hours or on weekends to accommodate their work schedules. In the age of the COVID-19 virus, I offer zoom meetings and remote conferencing so that there is no risk to my clients' health and safety.
I am licensed and in good standing in Washington, North Carolina and Hawaii. I also have experience practicing at the appellate level, including before the Washington State Court of Appeals (Divisions I and II) and at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Quitclaim deed
I had signed a friend on to the deed of my house as a favor. He turned corrupt and tried to extort half the value of the house. I consulted multiple attorneys and they all told me that it was almost impossible to have him removed from the deed. I researched it and my research confirmed their conclusi...
