Great experience

I was in a very high conflict custody battle. ELizabeth was absoutly amazing through the entire experience. Office was always available with any questions and was more than happy to help. In the most stressful sitiation any mother could experience Elizabeth and her staff kept me confident amd calm.

Lots of $ for not much results

First, the pluses - Ms. Stup is clearly quite intelligent and knowledgeable of the law. She keeps the working relationship very professional with clear boundaries. But it's worth mentioning that her practice is all about the money and not about keeping her clients informed. I would receive emails ...that motions and paperwork had been filed, without me having any idea what the paperwork was, or why it was being filed. And yet, I had a lot of difficulty getting any questions answered or getting a call/email back about anything. The attitude of her staff is quite poor as well - rude sometimes and condescending at best. The kicker for me was when Ms. Stup did not show up for Court and her staff tried to convince me I was at Court on the wrong day. Prepare to be nickel and dimed for every last thing and to have them hound you for more money constantly.

Elizabeth Stup is as good as it gets.

If you're researching family law attorneys, the law office of Elizabeth Stup is the way to go. Elizabeth is well respected in the courts and has the expertise to get the job done in a professional manner. She only practices family law as opposed to some other attorneys who "also do" family law. Trust... me, it makes a big difference! Elizabeth Stup is as good as it gets. Throughout my entire child custody case I was treated with dignity, respect, and compassion and saw firsthand that this law firm handles their cases with the highest degree of integrity and honesty. She helped balance my emotions with sound legal guidance. Elizabeth is a formidable force in the courtroom, but most importantly, she is an ethical and intelligent attorney that wants the best for you and your children. My custody battle had dragged on for almost two years and when Elizabeth got involved, she took action and got it done in the best way possible. During the hearing, Elizabeth was surgical! Due to the complexity of the case, the hearing lasted for two days. Every detail was covered and in the end the magistrate had a clear, and most importantly, an accurate picture of the facts. Watching her work was like watching one of those scripted high-profile lawyer shows on television. She asked questions that had not been asked previously; questions that only come from experience. And they were questions that made a difference. The ultimate decision was fair and even - which was the goal from the onset. I will always support Elizabeth and her firm because of the amazing work they did for me. There is no better family law attorney around- Elizabeth is shrewd, straightforward and will always do what is right and prudent.

Highly Recommend Mrs Stup

My now ex wife decided to go off the deep end so I divorced her. Then all guns turned on me and the obvious weapon of using our kid against me was the tool. My ex tried to cut our kid out of my life. I hired Miss Stup and she immediately took charge of my case and got what was fair and best for my ki...d. I have since remarried and my new wife and I just had a beautiful baby girl. Because of Miss Stup, my kid spends half his time with me and his new baby sister. I can't even begin to explain how much he loves having a baby sister and being part of my family. He has both his parents in his life and he is doing great. This was made possible because of Miss Stup's excellent legal work and her belief of fighting for what's in the best interest of the child. Thank you Miss Stup!

My LENGTHY child custody battle

It saddens me to see any negative comments regarding Elizabeth Stup and her law firm! She is truly an angel that helped me through the most difficult time in my life! My ex-husband cheated on me and left me and my 2 year old son and I while I was battling cancer. He was MIA for a year but married ano...ther women 3 days after our divorce was finalized. Over the next 5 years I was survived with court orders my ex-husband had filed. Everything from being an unfit mother, to abusing my child, allowing him to live in an unsafe home, etc. Every time he took me to court he had a new lawyer, I continued to use Elizabeth. Every time I would answer my door to a police officer in complete uniform signing yet again another court serving while my son sat watching me cry, Elizabeth always stepped in and calmed my fears. She was ALWAYS available to talk me off the edge. She replied to emails the same day they were sent, she returned phone calls and helped me battle my ex-husband each and every time. Every time we appeared in court my ex-husband's case was denied. Elizabeth helped me keep my son, the only piece of my life that was perfect and that I could never live without. It has been a few years since I last needed Elizabeth to represent me but she still checks in on my son and I, she remembers his name! She asks about my mother and my sister who were sworn in witness at one of our court battles. She is truly an amazing person! I would not trust anyone else with my family! My sister is going through a divorce and without hesitation I contacted Elizabeth. If you want someone to fight for you, fight for your family, fight for the things you cannot live without, you need to use Elizabeth! I cannot say enough good things about this women! She truly is my legal angel and I can't imagine where I'd be today if it weren't for her! I'd be more than happy to speak with anyone about this amazing women!
