Excellent custody lawyer

I'm a male professional who needed a smart, creative lawyer who didn't settle when the first judge told her that I had no chance of winning. With her creative legal arguments and excellent persuasive skills, I was able to win sole custody of my two daughers. I am very grateful to Elizabeth for her ...no nonsense approach to handling complex divorce cases. Sometimes she's not the easiest to get a hold of, but when she's presenting your case to the judge, she's the best.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
