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!

Met my every need!

I was scared going thru a divorce as I am sure many people are. Elizabeth helped me thru the process. I was advised of all up coming hearings and what to expect promptly.she worked with me to get a great result for my kids and my future. I tell all my friends in need of legal assistance to visit ...Elizabeth.

She's the Best!

My family unexpectedly ended up in an urgent legal situation. Elizabeth was referred to us by another attorney, who is a friend of the family but doesn't practice domestic law. We needed an experienced attorney and FAST! Not only did Elizabeth return our call on a Sunday afternoon but she was prep...ared and ready to be in Court that following week requesting an Emergency Custody Hearing (which was granted). There is no doubt in our minds' that Elizabeth's fast responsiveness, desire to protect all children and knowledge of the law is what saved our family! If you are looking for an experienced attorney, that will fight for your & your family, you've found her!
