This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent attorney

Elizabeth Voorhees did an outstanding job as our mediator during my divorce. My spouse and I hired her together, and she guided us through the entire divorce process with professionalism, expertise, and care. For example, she explained complex legal concepts in clear language, helping both of us feel... informed and at ease with our decisions. She also clarified what we needed to accomplish at every step of the way. Elizabeth was incredibly responsive, promptly answering all of our questions via email and during sessions. Her warmth and efficiency stood out—she created an environment where we both felt heard and respected. She also provided thorough and clear documentation that made each step of the process easy to follow. I highly recommend Elizabeth Voorhees to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, approachable, and efficient mediator for a divorce. Her expertise and compassionate approach truly made a challenging situation manageable.

Great Experience

I am VERY pleased with all the help and advice that Elizabeth Vorhees provided me with. She was there for me if I needed a shoulder to cry on and always kept me informed of what I was to expect while dealing with my divorce. If I ever need another divorce attorney (hopefully not) I WOULD DEFINITELY u...se use her again.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I had an office next to Elizabeth; later she assisted me on a month-long trial. Even as a law student, she impressed me with her insight into people and with her professionalism. She always seemed to understand what facts mattered in a case and what the client really wanted. During trial, she was a trusted advisor and sounding board. She always remained calm, even when the proceedings became especially contentious."
