Elizabeth Vogel McIlhattan

If you are looking for a calm, thorough, super-smart, no-drama divorce attorney who is caring, patient, and consistently listens to you, then this is your person. Elizabeth's extensive knowledge and experience practicing family law, combined with her compassionate wisdom, means every decision you mak...e is made with careful, considered advice and sound guidance. With no grand unrealistic promises or provocative, useless (and expensive) legal games, Elizabeth' s approach is meticulous and strategic. Her north star is getting a positive resolution to your case that honors your needs and helps restore your capacity to live well after. She understands that divorce can be a tumultuous process, where everything and the kitchen sink might be thrown your way. Whatever you may face—in my case, endless false accusations and constant, bullying, angry maneuvers—Elizabeth, in her tirelessly hardworking and supportive fashion, will protect and steer you through the nonsense. Always responsive and able to quickly digest complex information, Elizabeth's capacity to organize and remember endless details is matched by her compassion and understanding of what can often be very upsetting aspects of your now-ending relationship. But do not be deceived by this sensitivity; when necessary, and with a firm and titanium-like core, Elizabeth will zealously advocate for you. This no-nonsense demeanor means you have someone on your side who can control the narrative in the face of frivolous claims, set clear boundaries, and stoically allow your spouse to naturally undermine their own case. A bit like in Aesop’s fable 'The Tortoise and the Hare'—though Elizabeth is definitely incredibly methodical and steady, she is by no means slow in anything that she does. In short, Elizabeth was my family-law equivalent of Hermione Granger. Everyone needs a 'brains over brawn,' brave knight in their corner—and Elizabeth was mine.

I hired Elizabeth as my divorce lawyer, and I could not be happier with the care and efficiency she provided to my case. Her communication was always prompt and very well detailed. For a process that can feel daunting and confusing, Elizabeth did everything she could to make this process easy and cle...ar for me. I believe she went above and beyond, and I could not be more grateful for her help!

Elizabeth took over my divorce case midway through it due to her colleague leaving the practice, and she did an amazing job. I’m sure it wasn’t easy to jump in and catch up, and I was also very nervous about having to start with a new attorney, but she made the transition seamless. I appreciated her ...prompt communication, experienced guidance through big decisions, compassion and sympathy on tough days, conscientiousness to the financial strain my divorce was putting on me, and her efficiency and drive to finish my case without things dragging on for too long. Throughout the process it was evident that she is very knowledgeable and experienced in her field of practice. Her personable and professional approach even when dealing with my ex’s attorney allowed us to be able to settle without having to go to trial. Without hesitation I would recommend her to any family or friends if they were in need!

After 12 years of being divorced, I found myself unexpectedly needing to return to court. I hired Elizabeth to represent me—and I’m incredibly grateful that I did. Throughout a long and emotionally draining legal process filled with baseless motions and false accusations, Elizabeth remained a stea...dy and strong advocate. She understood exactly what I was facing, stood up for me, and fought tirelessly on my behalf. Elizabeth was honest, responsive, and exceptionally organized. She made sure I understood every step of the process and always kept me informed. Thanks to her dedication and strategic thinking, I was granted equal parenting time with my children. She also negotiated a settlement that recovered a significant portion of financial expenses owed to me by my ex. If you’re going through a divorce or custody battle, I highly recommend Elizabeth. She provides sound advice, a clear strategy, and she truly fights for what’s fair. I couldn’t have asked for better representation.

I hired this law firm to take over my case and am so thankful I did. Elizabeth took over my case that involved seeking an order of protection, relocation, and custody of my child due to DV issue with my child’s father. Not only did she get me awarded everything we asked for in trial, she was extremel...y kind, empathetic, and supportive towards me in a very stressful,scary, and vulnerable time. She was knowledgeable, efficient, and thorough with every detail of my case. She remained communicative the whole time too. Elizabeth was confident and bold in that courtroom (she played no games)! So appreciative of her and the other members that helped me within this firm.
