Looking for representation

I was very disappointed with the Elizabeth. I called and needed help in regards to my mother's estate. I have never had to go through a situation like this before and I am not educated in this type of situation. I called asking for guidance in what would be in my best interest and she spoke with me i...n a very rude manner and made me feel like I should know what the process is. She spoke to me like I was stupid and kept cutting me off when I tried answering her questions. I decided to let her know that I was just going to find someone else because I felt that she wasn't being helpful and she agreed and said to find someone else. I never thought that going through a process like this would have such a negative response from someone who specializes in this field. I will never think of reaching out to this firm again and I will make sure to write as many reviews as I can so other's grieving the loss of their loved one won't feel that help is not out there. I will ensure that I will never refer or recommend this firm to anyone who doesn't know the process and is just looking for help.

Trust Lawyer

Ms. Brickfield is very knowledgeable with estate planning and trusts. I have relied on her guidance to make the right decisions that will be positive for future planning. Trusts, taxes, paperwork can be overwhelming. Ms. Brickfield is very calm and has a tone that helps you feel relaxed. Questions a...re welcomed when you don't quite understand. We hire lawyers to help us. She makes you feel comfortable, never rushed ( she will schedule you according to what needs to be discussed.) She is highly recommended by myself and my family. Some dreams have come true for me. I know she has helped protect my dreams in ways I wasn't educated to do.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Although I am also a probate lawyer, occasionally I need to refer a prospective client to another probate lawyer. When I referred a client to Elizabeth, half a year later I got a note from the client thanking me for the referral and telling me how pleased she was with Elizabeth."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
