Exceptional Attorney Who Achieved the Best Possible Outcome ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I cannot recommend Attorney Liz Duggan and her assistant, Merissa Johnson, highly enough. From the very beginning of my case through its final resolution, they demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, legal expertise, and genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. Liz ...Duggan went above and beyond in every aspect of my representation. She thoroughly analyzed every detail of my case, carefully explained my legal options, and developed a well-thought-out strategy. Through her outstanding negotiation skills, she secured an excellent resolution by obtaining the dismissal of the felony charge and negotiating a reduction of the remaining charge from a Class A misdemeanor to a Class B misdemeanor. Her advocacy, attention to detail, and dedication were truly remarkable. Equally deserving of recognition is Merissa Johnson, whose professionalism, responsiveness, and organizational skills made a significant difference throughout the process. She ensured that every document, communication, and update was handled promptly and efficiently, making what could have been an overwhelming experience much more manageable. She was consistently courteous, compassionate, and proactive in addressing my questions and concerns. What impressed me most was the team's unwavering commitment to my case. They treated me with respect, maintained clear and timely communication, and provided reassurance during every stage of the legal process. Their integrity, diligence, and client-focused approach gave me confidence that I was in the best possible hands. If you are seeking an attorney who combines exceptional legal knowledge with strategic advocacy and genuine care for her clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Liz Duggan and her outstanding team, including Merissa Johnson. Their professionalism and dedication exceeded my expectations, and I will always be grateful for the outstanding representation they provided.

Excellent attorney!

Liz represented me in a criminal case and exceeded expectations. She did a phenomenal job handling my case. Liz was invested in getting the best possible outcome for me and that is what happened. Two felony charges and misdemeanors resulted in a dismissed case. I would absolutely recommend her for an...y criminal defense cases you may have.

Incredibly dedicated and communicative

I worked with Elizabeth for almost a year on my case. I was facing multiple misdemeanors and a felony charge due to a mental health episode. Elizabeth worked hard to keep me informed as the process played out, helped me understand all my options, and fought hard with the prosecutors to find a better ...solution than proceeding to trial. She was able to get me a pre-trial diversion which ended up with all the charges being dismissed. I cannot express how daunting the prospect of facing trial was, and being able to find another way to resolve it all was amazing. I would wholeheartedly recommend Elizabeth.

Professional and Understanding

This was my first ever experience with any sort of serious criminal offense and I was incredibly stressed and overwhelmed with the uncertainty of my future. I'm glad I had chosen Liz to represent me, she did a wonderful job in thoroughly explaining all aspects of my case. As someone with very limited... experience and knowledge of the legal system, she answered any and all questions I had, and was there to help me navigate the complex legal process at every step of the way. I was able to get my case dismissed and I am very grateful for Liz's services during the entire process. I would have preferred just a few more follow up calls updating me on my case status, but I would not put the fault of that on Liz, as I'm certain she would have made additional calls, had I asked. I would definitely recommend Liz and her firm, Cofer & Connelly, to anyone in need of legal representation.

Great and friendly lawyer and firm!

I had a great experience with Liz and the rest of the team. From start to finish, they were incredibly helpful. Liz provided me information from knowledgable sources, and sound advice. She got me the result I wanted in my felony case, and I couldn't ask for a better attorney.
