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.

Compassionate Divorce Lawyer

I was in bad shape emotionally when I had my initial consult with Attorney Bagley. When I left her office I felt that everything was going to be okay. She immediately put me at ease and explained how everything needed in my divorce would be done. She took charge of the case which is what I needed. Sh...e kept me informed throughout the process and I always knew that she was representing my interests above everything. Due to the pandemic my case had to be finished by phone conference. Attorney Bagley arranged everything and I ended up getting my divorce finalized on the date which would have been the court date anyway. She went above and beyond for me. I hope nobody reading this ever has to go through a divorce but if you do I would highly recommend Attorney Bagley.

Fair and Timely

Elizabeth Bagley came highly recommended and having worked with her from beginning to end of my recent divorce I would concur. She was professional, upfront and kept my best interests in mind. She was upfront and to the point. She practices law with common sense

Complicated Divorce Case

Elizabeth came highly recommended from an acquaintance who also is a well-respected family lawyer in Milwaukee. She handled a very complicated divorce case for me that involved a job loss, prolonged unemployment, and two very young children. I had to trust that she'd use her considerable experience t...o get me the best result possible, and I believe that she did. Throughout the time I was working with her, she was conscious of keeping costs down for our family, ensured that my voice was being heard, and understood our family's goals during a very uncertain time for us. In the end, she pulled off an agreement that was satisfactory to both parties in almost miraculous fashion.

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.
