Elisabeth Efird

Elisabeth has helped me with 2 particularly difficult real estate transactions. She was able to mediate and calm the waters with people who had very diverse interests.

Dedicated, Effective, and Human

I had an injury in 2011 and made the mistake of not filing worker's comp right away. After a few months of short term disability my company fired me because they didn't want to pay their portion of my health insurance and refused to work around my new limitations. All of the sudden I had absolutely n...othing. So I scrambled to hire a lawyer and file a late workman's comp case. Elisabeth went after the company and delivered a partial settlement that same year while she continued to worked on getting back everything I lost. Four years later she got back enough to make up for what was lost. Throughout this time she invited me into her home countless times. She worked around my schedule for the entire duration. She explained all of the legal stuff in easily understandable terms. She was clear about what I had to do to give the case the best chance for success. She was honest about realistic outcomes. I could tell she actually cared. Four years is a long time to wait for restitution, but that's our legal system, and Elisabeth navigated it expertly while retaining her soul and still producing results.

Excellent Attorney

Elisabeth is a superb attorney, and represented me in a situation where I believed I was wrongfully terminated from employment. She answered all my questions, was very prompt about returning my calls and emails and was up front about the cost of her services. I believe she is very effective at what... she does, and she got results. I was at ease knowing she was representing me, and I will request her services in the future if I require an attorney.

Employment attorney for age discrimination case

Efird & Associates was my attorney two years ago when I was terminated by my employer. I was terminated because of my age. Ms. Efird helped me sue my employer and we were able to settle my case. I was pleased with how she listened to my concerns and made sure that my interests were protected. I don't... typically write reviews but I was so pleased with her work I wanted to make sure that others who have suffered bad employers know that she is out there to help them.

Repeatidly does not meet her set deadlines/promises: go elsewhere

Go elsewhere; you can do better. REPEATIDLY made promises for when something would be ready and then nothing for WEEKS/MONTHS past the due date. She even billed me for the time to read my emails that asked, "What's up?" and "You didn't call as promised."! Not once, but at least 9 times. Go elsewh...ere, you can do better. I do legal expert witness work and have worked with more than 300 attorneys...this was for my job issues. I've never had an attorney behave like this. I lost not only my money but the 6 months I wasted waiting for action. I found a better one.
