Posted by Theresa | March 25, 2026 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Termination

She Believed in Me and Delivered Justice”

I cannot say enough about Elizabeth Faulkner and the incredible work she did on my case. From the very beginning, she believed in me—not just as a client, but as a person. She believed in the truth, in justice, and in doing what was right, and that gave me strength during one of the most difficult ti...mes in my life. Elizabeth went above and beyond in every possible way. Her dedication, work ethic, and attention to detail were unmatched. She was constantly thinking, strategizing, and communicating—no matter the day or time. Weekends, evenings—it didn’t matter. She was always there, guiding me through each step and making sure I understood what was happening and what came next. What truly sets Elizabeth apart is her passion and heart. She doesn’t just handle cases—she fights for people. She stood by me, supported me, and never wavered. Because of her, we were able to bring justice to a situation that needed to be addressed, and I will forever be grateful for that. Her communication was exceptional, and the team she works with is just as strong, professional, and dedicated. Together, they are a powerhouse. If you are looking for an attorney who will fight for you, believe in you, and stand beside you every step of the way—Elizabeth is that person. I would recommend her without hesitation, especially for wrongful termination or employment-related cases. Thank you, Elizabeth, for your support, your faith in me, and for everything you did. I will never forget it.

Recommend her without reserve

I worked with Elizabeth Faulkner during a challenging severance negotiation with my long-term employer, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Elizabeth quickly demonstrated a firm grasp of employment law nuances, expertly navigating the case law not only in Arizona but also in the other jurisdicti...on relevant to my employer. Throughout the process, Elizabeth was unwaveringly persistent and thorough, never allowing me to feel overwhelmed despite facing an organization with substantial resources. She helped me clearly identify my most critical priorities and fiercely advocated for me on those key issues. Her straightforward communication provided realistic expectations—letting me know exactly where we had strength and where compromise might be necessary. Elizabeth's strategic counsel, coupled with her compassionate demeanor and tenacity during negotiations, made all the difference in achieving an outcome I felt good about. If you're in need of someone who will truly fight for your best interests, look no further—Elizabeth Faulkner is exceptional.

recommended employment lawyer

Elizabeth Faulkner exhibited professionalism and a deep understanding of employment law while managing my case. She clearly explained the complex legal considerations and intricacies, ensuring that I fully understood the implications and next steps throughout the process. Elizabeth was proactive in h...andling my case and zealously advocated on my behalf. Having her support was an invaluable advantage. If I ever need representation again, she will be my first call. Thank you, Elizabeth!

Danger

Elizabeth does not like her clients being involved in their case. When you asked questions she hears what she wants to hear. She would send me emails and not provide any information on what it is just say "fyi". I'm not the lawyer she is and I'm supposed to read and understand what a legal document i...s? I hired her for a reason. She quite 30 days into the case. I had to struggle and find someone else. What a waist of time. Save yourself she's not worth it.
