Persistent advocacy and respectful communication

I hired Elizabeth Franklin-Best P.C. while incarcerated to help with two major issues: my legal name change and securing a full year in a halfway house for reentry. Both were denied initially. Elizabeth filed motions for reconsideration, stayed on top of the process, and ultimately got both requests ...approved. What mattered to me was not only the outcome, but also the way I was treated—communication was consistent, and I felt heard and respected throughout. I’m grateful for the help and would recommend Elizabeth to someone facing a similar situation.

Thank you for this thoughtful review. Reentry planning—including halfway house placement and addressing legal matters like name changes—can be an uphill battle, especially when initial requests are denied. We’re glad we could help navigate those obstacles and that the persistence paid off. More importantly, we appreciate your noting how you were treated throughout the process. Respectful communication with our clients isn’t just a policy—it’s foundational to how we practice. We wish you all the best as you move forward.

My highest recommendation! Elizabeth is The Best!

Elizabeth Franklin Best is an outstanding attorney. Betsy more than lived up to her qualifications and reputation! I knew from the initial phone call that she was the one. She was honest and direct. She did not over-promise or confuse us. She listened and explained the options. She developed a... strategy and followed it through. Elizabeth was thorough and did the leg work necessary to get my Uncle out of prison after serving 19 years of a 480-month sentence. She kept us informed of the progress and the outcome was Amazing! The motion was granted several weeks later. Although my Uncle passed days before his release, Betsy was always available to answer questions and provide support and direction for anything else that came along. Thank you, Elizabeth Frankin Best you are THE BEST! Vickie Corley

Vickie, thank you for your kind words. Your uncle’s case was both challenging and deeply meaningful. Securing his release after 19 years on a 480-month sentence required significant effort, and we were honored to be part of that fight. We are profoundly sorry for his passing so close to his release date—there are no words adequate for that loss. Please know that your family remains in our thoughts, and we’re grateful you trusted us with something so important.

Hope restablished

My son was sentenced 50 years in SCDC at 19 years old and devastated the whole family, because he never should have been sentenced that harshly. Mrs. Best came to prison and spoke to him and gave him hope and life to fight for an appeal! All he remembers as we continue to fight is Mrs. Elizabeth Fran...klin-Best! We will never forget the words and compassion along with hope she gave to us! There have never been a lawyer in our experience that is generally concerned about justice. I will recommended Mrs. Best every time to anyone.

Thank you for sharing your family’s story. A 50-year sentence imposed on a 19-year-old is life-altering for everyone involved, and we understand the weight your family carries. We’re honored that our meeting with your son provided some measure of hope during an incredibly difficult time. The fight for justice can be long, but having a family as supportive as yours makes all the difference. We’ll continue to be here as you move forward, and we’re grateful for your trust in our firm.
