About Elizabeth
Biography
Elizabeth Warren is a Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Gavvl Law and a dedicated family law advocate. A cum laude graduate of Capital University Law School, Elizabeth focused her studies on Family Law and Mediation, and she gained hands-on experience early in her career working for Franklin County Children Services, where she handled some of the most sensitive matters that come before a family court. She co-founded Gavvl Law to make modern, accessible family law representation available to Ohio families in all 88 counties.
Elizabeth's practice spans divorce and dissolution, child custody and parenting time, child support, adoption, and grandparents' rights. Her training in both family law and mediation informs how she approaches each case: she looks first for resolutions that protect children and preserve a client's resources, while remaining fully prepared to litigate when a fair agreement is not possible. Clients facing a contested divorce and clients seeking a straightforward dissolution both benefit from her calm, goal-centered guidance.
Elizabeth believes in being more than a legal advisor — she describes her role as a companion and protector for clients during one of the hardest seasons of their lives. Her goal-centered approach is built to move clients from chaos to clarity, giving them the tools, resources, and advocacy they need to make confident decisions about their families and their futures. As both a mother and a seasoned attorney, she understands the stakes behind every parenting schedule and support order.
Her client approach mirrors Gavvl Law's founding philosophy: see the person behind the paperwork, keep clients informed and engaged, and demystify a legal process that too often feels designed to confuse. Elizabeth pairs that compassion with the firm's commitment to transparent pricing, flexible payment options, and quick, responsive communication that keeps clients connected to their cases, so quality representation stays within reach.
Licensed in Ohio and a member of the Ohio State Bar Association and the Columbus Bar Association, Elizabeth represents clients in domestic relations and juvenile courts throughout the state, with deep familiarity in the Central Ohio courts serving the Columbus area as well as Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Dayton. Recognized as part of a Best Lawyers “Firm to Watch” for 2026, she continues to help lead the firm's statewide mission.

My opinion, she is one of the best!
The best, she actually listens, if she doesn't know the answer she will find out and get back with you, and most important, she cares, I have no problem trusting her with all my legal needs.

Replied last August 07, 2015Legal language can be intimidating and confusing. The main thing is to get educated about your rights, and find an effective way to assert them. I don't care how much legal mumbo jumbo someone tosses my way, the system should not be about confusing people, but about finding justice.
