Elizabeth A Smith

Elizabeth supported me in a very long and complicated legal matter with my ex-wife. She was very knowledgeable, super organized and hardworking. Beth is a very nice person and she helped me a lot in finding peace of mind in this very hectic situation. I feel that Beth would be an ideal attorney wh...en both party have good will to compromise and work on win-win solution. Unfortunately my case was nothing like this. We faced a very aggressive attorney and my ability to work together with my ex was very limited. Knowing what I know today I would say that Beth was not the best attorney for my case. She just does not enjoy aggressive litigations and it shows. I must add that when it became clear how aggressive the case was going to be Elizabeth explicitly recommended to find another attorney. It was my decision not to do that. By the way, I consider the litigation result to be a great success. Mainly because of the multiple mistakes my ex made. If more attorneys were like Elizabeth, the world would be much better place.

We needed to hire Beth twice for two separate matters. The first was with my husband's difficult ex-wife. Beth worked diligently with us to achieve a positive outcome. We unfortunately need to go to Court during our action. Beth proved to be knowledgeable, a quick thinker, tenacious yet fair in C...ourt. She was a stabilizing force in the midst of emotional chaos. We hired Beth again when we needed to file for Custody of our grandchildren. At Court again, we realized how well respected Beth is by the Court and their staff. Both times we felt we received excellent service from her and her staff.

I worked with Beth Smith through and after my difficult divorce. I have found her to be an outstanding attorney- knowledgeable, strategic, smart, empathetic, supportive, and kind. At a time when I could not assess the best paths in different areas of negotiation, she helped me to understand the pro...s and cons of every course. She advised me objectively, always pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of every possible decision. I found her to be wonderfully realistic, and that helped guide me in decisions. Her counsel was wise and unerringly accurate. It helped me realize the likely outcomes of different disputes, and make judicious decisions about how to proceed. Maybe more important than her legal acumen is her wonderfully warm and compassionate style. At a time when my world had come crashing down, she both shepherded me through that with kindness and gently set me into action. I have found her to be a rock solid source of reality, and I can count on her to always act in my and my children's best interests. She has even a perfect touch of humor to add lightness that is needed at times. I could not have chosen a more effective attorney or a more compassionate coach through the ordeal of divorce. I recommend her most highly to anyone- it is hard to find such a rare combination of skill, strategy, advocacy, pragmatism, and compassion. I think she is unfailingly ethical and consistently correct in her legal advice, and I feel lucky to have entrusted my future to her.

I engaged Beth several years to represent me in a matrimonial matter. From the onset of our client/attorney relationship, Beth shrived to understand my concerns while advising me on the law to obtain my objectives. At a difficult and emotional time, she was a calming influence on me. Her sage advice... allowed me to obtain the desired result and settlement, without going to trial. I highly recommend Beth for her knowledge of the law, her skills as a negotiator and her compassionate nature.
