Divorce

Elizabeth and her team were amazing! Elizabeth was knowledgeable, kind and comforting during a particularly difficult life transition. She listened to me and never judged but always fully explained my options. I could not have asked for a better person and lawyer to help me maneuver through this p...rocess. Thank you for your understanding and professional guidance. I am forever grateful.

A real pro and trusted advisor

Elizabeth struck an important balance of professional and personal, and emphasized each at the right time. She was invaluable in navigating a pretty complicated divorce and proved to be a trusted advisor. She took the time to explain things and answer my never-ending list of questions, and provided o...ptions and expected outcomes with each option. I highly recommend Attorney Bagley - she's competent, connected and a counselor - all beneficial when dealing with a divorce.

Highly Recommended

Elizabeth is amazing, not only as a lawyer, but as a person. She was a calming influence when I needed it during my complicated and exhausting divorce that spanned over a year and a half. She developed a strong overall strategy early on and was able to adjust that plan and adapt to each and every cur...ve ball that was thrown at us throughout the process. My children and I would not be where we are today without her guidance and expertise and I thank God that I found her when I did. I would recommend her to anybody who deserves her.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
