Ex ended up with way too much

It seems like Liz just gave my ex everything they asked for, and more; she got more than half of our assets; and Liz didn't really understand the financial issues (real estate; defined benefit plan etc). Then Liz wanted me to agree to give her non-modifiable spousal support until she can retire (14 ...years of payments)! At least I insisted it be modifiable.. but then my big contract is cut 70% and Liz won't even talk to me about getting it changed without a thousand dollars just to meet; even after I've paid her many tens of thousands when I had income; and now I can't afford it! So now with my support and her job, my ex makes more than me and I'm struggling. Thanks for nothing Liz.

Elizabeth Nigro

Replied last November 06, 2020

Jim, it is unfortunate that you chose to post a false narrative about my representation of you in your case. I absolutely understood the issues in your case. Under community property laws, your wife was entitled to half of all assets acquired during your marriage. We didn't litigate your case because you chose to negotiate and enter into a stipulated judgment, and you were quite pleased with the resolution at the time. If you think your wife received more than half of your assets, it is perhaps because you forgot you underpaid spousal support for more than a year and had arrearages of more than $100,000 that had accrued. If I recall correctly, her attorney was pursuing you with a contempt citation prior to the settlement. At any rate, I gave you a lengthy free phone consult about seeking a modification of spousal support and you never took any action. I reached out to you to discuss making things right and you never responded. I wish you the best.

Help from an Angel

Elizabeth Nigro took on a very complicated and difficult case for me, which was caused in large part by the negligence of my original attorney. I had been under a tremendous amount of emotional and financial stress due to a very one sided judgement. Her very competent legal team attacked my situation... very aggressively and uncovered a tremendous amount of overlooked and unknown details to turn the whole judgement around. She is very professional and very thorough and I am already referring potential clients to her. I can't say enough about her and highly recommend her to anyone seeking the highest caliber of legal representation.

Everything you want in a divorce lawyer-

After 27 years of marriage, Ms Nigro provided the much-needed direction with my divorce. Her long-term divorce experience was evident throughout the complicated proceedings. She gave me all the pro/cons to each surprise delivered by my ex, a practicing attorney, & his counsel. I had heard horror st...ories of friends using large expensive firms that never heard from their attorney til court time. I was on a first name basis with her and had access to her staff, direct phone line & voicemail. I always felt that I was getting personal service and that she was doing everything possible to get everything due to me. I highly recommend Elizabeth Nigro to represent anyone during their divorce proceedings.

An exceptional attorney who demonstrates knowledge, experience, integrity and compassion....

When I needed legal guidance for my divorce, I was blessed to have been recommended to Ms. Nigro. I was so grateful for the clarity she provided in regard to my situation. I felt empowered by the valuable legal advice she provided. Her many years of experience in family law helped give me the perspec...tive I needed to navigate the family law system. I was especially grateful that she was always immediately responsive to my phone calls. My questions and concerns were fully addressed. I felt that she walked side by side with me throughout the entire process. She kept me very well informed at all times. Her legal knowledge and litigation experience was invaluable as my case proceeded to trial. I was so appreciative of the incredible hard work she put forth in preparation for the trial. It was at that time she was the most aggressive in my case, while being personally compassionate. I was utterly pleased with the result of her legal knowledge and strategy. I could not have asked for a better outcome. I have recommended Ms. Nigro to several of my friends and clients. I have personal knowledge that she has achieved similar results for them as well. In addition to her years of experience in the legal field, she demonstrates integrity and compassion to her clients.
