Providing compassionate advocacy to New Orleans area families for over ten years.Let a specialist guide you in your options for divorce.Building families one child at a time for over ten years.
I'm Liz, a solo practioner and mother of a young son. I juggle a law practice, an active and community based social life, and my child's busy calendar, just as so many of my clients juggle and struggle to maintain their work and family obligations. I get it, and I try to relate my personal understanding to my clients so that they feel listened to, understood, and ultimately, helped. My clients and fellow attorneys recognize me as a compassionate but vigorous advocate. I care about my clients and that makes me a diligent representative. My goals for client service are compassion for your needs, loyalty to your interests, and a deep knowledge and skill that comes from over 10 years of experience. I look forward to working with you and invite you to contact me at (504) 581-4334 or by e-mail at [email protected].
