Recommended for your family law needs!

Facing a child support dispute, Elizabeth was able to guide me through the process and facilitate coming to a positive resolution for all parties involved. I highly recommend Elizabeth for any of your family law needs---she's responsive, pragmatic, compassionate and highly capable, all while represen...ting your best interests.

Great job

My husband needed her assistance with a case about 11 years ago. It was handled in great time and helped my husband tremendously. Would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone.

Posted by Patrick | October 20, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Most Professional and Knowledgeable Lawyer in Columbus

I hired Elizabeth in 2012 when I was getting divorced and most recently in a wage dispute with my former employer. She handled both cases professionally with sensitivity. Getting a divorce is emotionally difficult and having Elizabeth represent you and your children's best interests will put your min...d at ease. She's a devoted mother and wife who sincerely cares about your situation. Several of my family and friends have hired her and they all had highly positive experiences. I continue to recommend her without reservation. You will not be treated as a number or paycheck.

The best attorney in Ohio!

Well, I could write this review and say that attorney Elizabeth Westfall was very professional and did a great job and leave it at that...but what she did for my family was WAY more than that, and this is such a personal subject for me...she honestly started as my lawyer and became my friend. Elizabe...th is the best family lawyer in Columbus. This review is truly coming from my heart. Elizabeth became my attorney about five years ago. I had a very difficult case, one in which I had already had three attorneys previously who had not shown the level of interest nor were as knowledgeable as elizabeth . Elizabeth is compassionate, diligent, professional, knows the law, and handles your case as if it was her own. She is ALWAYS available to answer questions and even contacted me and worked on my case while she was on maternity leave. In all honesty,my family considers her a part of our family. I assure you, no one can find a better attorney ANYWHERE and I'm blessed to have her representing me. I could never truly express how thankful I am!

Awesome experience!

Being a father and fighting for custody of your son is no easy task but that didn't discourage Elizabeth from helping me. I have been using Elizabeth for the past 4 years and my case has not been easy but Elizabeth has been very professional and prompt the entire time. She has quickly responded to an...y of my questions or concerns and has been very honest on what outcomes may be. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to family law and has always explained every possibly outcome so I am prepared. I know I can trust her and that she will fight for what's best for my son. I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone who needed family court lawyer!
