This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Communicative and passionate

Elizabeth is the most compassionate lawyer I have ever met. She is an amazing listener and she really takes her time to help you and make a plan with you. She is very caring, knowledgeable, great with communication, and clearly has a passion for helping people. She is undeniably professional but make...s you feel welcome and cared for. She will always be in my corner if I ever need a lawyer.

Kept my money, filed nothing.

I wish I would've listened to the negative reviews, I paid a retainer and nothing was ever filed. Asked for a refund, she sent back less than half and refused to send an invoice as to why she kept the portion she did. She literally did nothing on my case, and won't even respond further to my inquirie...s about my invoice/further refund. She's had my money for over a year.

Not a good attorney

Not professional at all! Never responds in a timely manner. Seems like her personal life interferes with her from representing her clients in a clear and concise manner.

Mary

Unresponsive and one sided. Very curt and unavailable. Does not respond promptly and sends mixed messages.
