Elizabeth N. Niemi's Lawyer Endorsements
"Elizabeth is extremely knowledgeable, and she's one of the hardest working family law attorneys I know. She puts her clients' interests first, and takes great care to assure her work product is excellent. She is supportive and compassionate, traits that are crucial in helping clients through the emotions involved in most family law matters. In addition to her abilities as a litigator, Elizabeth is a strong and effective negotiator and mediator. Not all family law attorneys have mediation training, or appreciate the value of mediation in divorce cases. Elizabeth does, and she has the skills to help a client choose the most effective process. This enhances her ability to provide the best representation possible in either litigation, mediation, or collaborative practice."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Elizabeth is a great attorney. She is attentive to clients' needs, has years of family law experience, and a great person all around. I highly recommend her to anyone with family law matters."
"Elizabeth is a fantastic attorney, incredibly knowledgeable, honest, fair and with a great sense of integrity. Even though she was an opposing counsel on a matter, she was reasonable and thorough. I have a kept a professional friendship with Elizabeth since, and she is one of the main attorneys I turn to when I have my own questions regarding family law. I highly endorse her!"
"Elizabeth is one of the best family law attorneys in the Sacramento area. I recommend her to anyone who needs a top notch representation."
"I endorse this lawyer. Elizabeth is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and attentive. She is very competent and hard-working."
