About Elizabeth
Biography
I have been an attorney for more than 30 years, dedicating my career to the pursuit of justice for my clients, whether they are indigent defendants facing years in prison,or even the death penalty, or families in distress facing separation, divorce and alienation from loved ones.
I pride myself on being a thorough and attentive attorney, who is determined to see even the toughest case through to a good resolution.
I had the privilege of being appointed to serve as a Magistrate Judge in Fulton Superior Court in 2011. My skills and experience as a judge have enhanced my understanding of effective courtroom advocacy.
I have been an active volunteer in my community, as well, serving on the Board of Education and helping in myriad ways with my children's schools, as well as serving in leadership roles with Girl Scouts and as Chair of the Grady HS Foundation, the Grady HS Mock Trial Foundation and the Morningside Elementary School Local School Council.

Elizabeth represented me on a DUI case that lasted two and a half years. What should have been a plea to a reckless driving charge from the beginning turned into an exhausting back and forth between us and the State. The case eventually went to trial, and we were in the courtroom that day for about n...

Great Attorney!!
I referred a friend of mine serving a life sentence for kidnapping and armed robbery however there were mitigating circumstances in the case and she got him out. Also he has no parole or anything. He got time served. I would highly recommend her. Very knowledgable in criminal defense and appeals.
