Elizabeth M. Westover

Words simply aren’t enough to express my gratitude for my team, Elizabeth Westover and Kerry, of Westover Born, P.C., during my family matters and child support cases. Having used small town lawyers for my divorce proceedings ten years ago, and seeing the way they both pitted me and my ex against eac...h other for the sake of lining their own pockets, I refused to use that same lawyer for issues concerning my child today. Elizabeth and Kerry are not only sophisticated and intelligent lawyers, but they are empathetic and supportive; this is a rare combination in the legal field. Elizabeth and Kerry demonstrated the highest level of professional and personal commitment to me and my daughter throughout our cases. I was never a number, my daughter was never an afterthought, and we were treated with the utmost respect. As any client, finances are always a concern when a legal battle commences. Elizabeth and Kerry communicated with me, frequently and openly, about anticipated costs every step of the way. They listened to my wishes and concerns; they guided me firmly and compassionately; they aggressively fought for me and my daughter, all while remaining cognizant of my finances. Elizabeth and Kerry never took advantage of me or my emotions. They guided me into making my own decisions, supported me, and never pressured me to pursue frivolous claims as my divorce lawyer had done. In fact, throughout the legal issues, opposing counsel made several errors resulting in unnecessary and extra work for my team resulting in added fees. My team was able to recover a large portion of these fees for me, effectively demonstrating that they should not have fallen on me or my team to begin with. Elizabeth and Kerry’s interactions with me, as a team, were beyond effective and resulted in a positive ruling for me and my daughter. Elizabeth and Kerry genuinely placed our best interest ahead of their own bottom line. I highly recommend Elizabeth and Kerry to anyone in need of assistance with family matters. In fact, they’re the ONLY team I recommend. Their expertise, passion and dedication to family is unparalleled. My family is ever grateful not just for the positive outcome of my case, but for the humanity and care they offered to me and my daughter.

Elizabeth Westover and her team of professionals handled my Divorce beyond my expectations. She was brillant in negotiating on my behalf as well as extraordinary in her follow-up and detailed in reporting to me via phone, email and hard copies. She took a genuine interest in all aspects of a very str...essful event that I went through and her thoughtfulness insights and legal advice were terrific. Not only have I referred her to other clients, i will always be the kind of reference every professional would like to have in their corner. I applaud her brillance and professioalism, Thank you Eizabeth Westover

Elizabeth handled my Case for Child Custody. She provided the information I needed to meet with an attorney in another State to get the case brought back to Illinois. Had I not known about UCCJEA I would never had known that my case should be held in Illinois..Since my Child is an Illinois resident.... Elizabeth and her staff were always available for my questions. She knows the Law and is willing to go the extra mile for you and your case. I would definitely recomend her. I am a Father that was fighting for Joint Custody after my child was taken accross State lines. Not only did she get the case brought back to Illinois after doing a 3 way conversation with an Attorney and Judge from another State. But she also Won my case. I was very pleased with the service provided.

Elizabeth Westover was referred to me from a friend, I had child visitation and child support issues to work out. From the beginning Elizabeth was sure that we would get accomplished what I was requesting. She kept me up to date on what was going on the whole time and was completely honest and know...ledgable when giving advice/explaining everything to me and advising me what was best to do. Not only her but her staff was great too. Very nice and keeping me informed. I would highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone for any family law issues. I only wish I knew of her when I first got divorced.
