About Elizabeth
Biography
Elizabeth Wells is a partner at the Burdge Law Office in Dayton, Ohio. She joined the firm in 2004 and concentrates her practice on consumer protection cases, including lemon law and breach of warranty cases for cars, motorcycles, ATVs, and RVs, and auto fraud cases. Beth has represented Ohio and Kentucky consumers in mediations, jury trials, and arbitration hearings before the Ohio Court of Appeals.
Elizabeth Wells was selected by Super Lawyers Magazine as a Rising Star, in the practice area of Consumer Law, in 2013, 2014, and again in 2015. Only 2.5 percent of the attorneys in Ohio are selected to the Rising Stars list. Super Lawyers, a Thomson Reuters business, is a rating service for attorney from more than 70 practice areas who have attained a high-degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. The annual selections are made using a statewide survey of attorneys, independent research evaluation of candidates, and peer reviews by practice area.
When Beth is not representing consumers in Court or at her desk, her competitive spirit finds its outlet in running as a member of the Runner Plus Elite racing team. She also enjoys family time with her daughters and husband.

Professional, Experienced, Highly Recommended Lawyer
Attorney Wells helped my wife and I through a Lemon Law case. The dealership threw a lot of curveballs in our direction and Attorney Wells knew how to handle everyone of them. Her insight and knowledge of these cases was fantastic and she helped us make the right decisions throughout the process. ...
Elizabeth Ahern Wells's Lawyer Endorsements
"A truly excellent attorney well respected in the legal community. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a lawyer who knows the law and truly cares about protecting the rights of her clients and getting them the most favorable result possible."
"It is clear from her comments on Avvo that Attorney Wells is extremely knowledgeable in the area of Lemon Law, and she is active in the legal community in trying to educate less knowledgeable lemon law attorneys, and consumers en masse. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I am happy to endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse Elizabeth Wells. She has extensive experience and success in lemon law and consumer cases. You need someone like Elizabeth who is well versed in the law and cares about your case when you are taking on the big manufacturers."
"Elizabeth is a top-notch person and immigration attorney."
"I recommend this attorney to any potential client looking for competent and well-experienced representation in matters dealing with consumer law."
"Truly excellent lawyer. Well respected in the legal community."
"I strongly endorse this lawyer. She knows the law inside and out and uses that to fight hard to get her clients great results."
"I have worked with a lot of lawyers over the last 30 plus years and Beth is absolutely the best and brightest of them all. She knows the law extremely well and is extraordinarily talented in her legal writing skills and arguing motions in court. She has a sharp legal mind and cares passionately about helping her clients understand the law and win their case. She is not afraid to take a case in front of a jury and explain why her client is right. It is one thing to know the law, it's another thing to be able to handle a case in a courtroom, and it's an entirely different thing to be able to do it all well. She does that and she does it extremely well. If you have a lemon car and want to know what you can do about it, she's the one to talk to. I highly recommend her to you."
