Extremely Satisfied Client

As a client, I highly recommend Liz and her staff. As naive, scared, impatient and much more; that I was Liz and her amazing staff were more than just my attorney. They kept me on course when I had doubt and they stayed the course. Liz, was fare and extremely upfront when it came to cost and to what ..."our" action plan would be. She was extremely professional, honest, and knew her stuff. She explained and educated me the pros and cons of each step we took "together" before we took the leap. I was well prepared for the good and the not so good. However, we came out way beyond I ever expected. We WON in the end. I, luckily haven't had to deal with attorneys much , but I would definitely refer, recommend, and continue to use Elizabeth Meneray Law firm. 5 ⭐️

Rebecca, thank you for your review. Your case was complex and contested every step of the way. It was a difficult, but worthwhile, path for you to take to make sure you can create the best possible life for your child. While I hope you do not have to use my services again, I trust you know that I am here for you at any time, to provide counsel and advice and take action for you as needed. Take care.

A Rare Find

Liz showed genuine human empathy and fought for the truth for me. I hired her seeking custody of my children and my ex dragged it out costing me a fortune. Liz did everything that she could to not only put me in the best position for my case, but also to help alleviate the financial burden of this pr...ocess. She is kind and doesn’t throw fits to argue her points like most lawyers do. She also treated me like a fellow human being rather than just a client or a number. I highly recommend her.

Highly Reccommended

I hired Mrs. Meneray from Florida to represent me with my child custody modification case in Louisiana. I was very skeptical since I was out of state. She was not only honest but also gave me all my options prior to court. She made me feel very comfortable while facing my biggest fear. I would, witho...ut any reservation, hire her again. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING experience. Thank you for all you did for me.

You were a pleasure to work with, and I was happy to help you to reach an agreement with your ex husband in order to modify your custody and child support judgments. As children age, their needs change, and it makes sense to review the judgments in place for custody and support. In your case, you had changed a number of things informally, but because they were not in a Consent Judgment signed by the court, they were unenforceable, and your ex could go back on the informal agreement at any time. Now you know where you stand, and so does he. Glad I could be of assistance to you.

Highly Recommended

Absolutely amazing is two words to describe Mrs. Meneray. I hired her from out of state (Florida) to handle a modification of my child visitation agreement in Louisiana. Not only did she provide me excellent advice she was very knowledgeable with family law. She was always available if I had question...s and supported me though my tough journey. I highly recommend her and can't thank her enough for her support!

Jennifer, it was a pleasure to work with you. I am pleased that we were able to correct what was a very out of balance situation for you. We were able to equalize your child support to make it more fair to both parents, and to benefit both children, and we were able to better secure your time with your children at various times throughout the year. The law favors close and continuing contact between both parents and their children, and the fact that you are out of state should never have been an obstacle to keep you from them. All the best to you and your girls!
