M. Elizabeth Varela

We hired Elizabeth for a child custody case. From the moment we hired her, she gave us advice that was harmful to our case. She consistently tried to lengthen phone calls and rewrite documents in order to run up the bill, but not once did we feel she did something that was in our child’s best interes...t. She will tell you “ it should work” or “it should be okay,” but there is no action behind it. The other parent’s attorney walked all over her. By the time we realized she was not working our case and making progress, thousands of dollars were spent and it was too late to get another attorney. My teen daughter who was so hopeful for a change, became hopeless when nothing changed and Elizabeth did not fight for her voice to be heard.
