The best attorney I could have hoped for

Elizabeth is the best of the best. I have had the misfortune of being rear ended 4 times, so I know this area too well. My last claim was made so painful and traumatic for me, by the attorney, so I really needed a kind effective and professional woman attorney. Elizabeth was everything I needed and... sought. She made the process seamless, painless and the settlement was excellent. I cannot recommend her enough. Truly a fantastic attorney, kind, helpful, professional, extremely effective.

An Attorney That Other Lawyers Hire When Injured

I have been a trial attorney for over fifteen years. When I was injured in a car wreck, I looked carefully for an injury attorney who: a) would take away all of the hassle and stress of personally having to deal with claims adjusters and opposing counsel; b) would not only keep me informed on a regul...ar basis of the status of my case, but proactively make sure I was doing all the things I needed to do on time; c) knew Personally Injury law thoroughly -- both substantively and with demonstrated litigation experience -- from the claims stage all the way through courtroom litigation; and, d) MOST IMPORTANTLY, one who was not afraid to seek the best possible outcome in my case aggressively. (I have been around enough attorneys to know that many are either afraid of litigation/trial, or they want to take the first or second counter offer from the other side because it's quick money in the bank.) Elizabeth exceeded my expectations on all four of my requirements. I consider myself to be pretty on the ball with my to-do checklists, but sometimes when I slacked on sending in treatment reports to the firm, for example, she would email me personally reminding me to get a, b, or c done, and would also update me with that status of the case/negotiation so I always understood exactly where things were. In addition, on our second settlement obtained (the UIM claim), Elizabeth was actually confident that she could get the other side to an even better number than she'd already negotiated. It was me who let her know that I trusted that she could, but that just for my peace of mind I wanted to settle at the good enough number she already obtained and move on with my life. She would have kept fighting, though, and with confidence. I know another attorney who also retained her and came away also completely pleased with the communication and with the outcome. 100 % recommendation for Elizabeth Welch!

Great Experience

One of the most skilled and gifted attorneys in the area. Elizabeth makes the legal process seem seamless, and she always keeps you in the loop. She is well versed in personal injury cases and commands a wealth of legal knowledge at her disposal. She makes you feel at home; reducing the stress of com...plicated cases. She ended up getting my case settled for more than expected. I wouldn't go to anyone else.

Excellent Attorney

Ms. Welch did an excellent job representing me in an automobile accident claim. Once I engaged her, she handled everything and I was awarded a fair settlement. It was a relief not to have to deal with insurance company.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Elizabeth is a great lawyer and an extremely caring person. As a lawyer myself, I believe strongly that knowing the law, being able to fight when necessary, and being an excellent speaker and writer are necessary skills, but are only the beginning. Elizabeth has all those skills. But she also has heart, and that is really the key. In order to get the best result possible for your clients, you have to believe in them and their cases. Elizabeth does. I recommend her strongly."
