Lots of things go through your mind when you’re contemplating divorce. For the most part, I never thought I’d be in a position where I would have to file for divorce. But there comes a point where that is the only option, to make sure that we were okay, but also making sure that our children were okay as well.
I think that in finding a divorce firm, you really have to figure out is this person really looking after the benefit of the children and really working towards making sure that at the end of the day, the adults are also able to work together so that each individual needs for the families are met?
One of the first meetings that I had with Elizabeth, there was an outline. I remember seeing the outline and smiling. When a law firm is prepared and they’re ready, they’re able to get things to move along more expeditiously rather than lag time. Elizabeth has put a lot of work and effort into the holistic care of the clients. I think having a lawyer that understands that it’s not just about court cases and documents, but also being able to be one with your mind, body, and spirit will help the whole process together. Their strategy is always collaborative. At every step of the game, they involve their clients and really listening to your needs and coming up with a strategic plan.
When you walk into the office, you don’t feel that it’s a cookie cutter. It’s really built into the unique circumstances of the case. They’re going into the court prepared and really justified in fighting for you.
What I found about Elizabeth is that she took the time to listen. At the end of the day, I chose that firm because I felt a part of the family.

When I came to see Elizabeth, the legal issues that I were seeking were custody. I was seeking full custody for my two daughters, being that their father and I had split up. There was no arrangements as in terms of how we were going to see them, visit them, or if we were moving from different states what would be the right procedures to keep them safe. That’s the reason why I came to see Elizabeth, in those terms, being it’s the first time I ever had to deal with a situation in this matter, dealing with my kids. I chose Elizabeth because I met her at my job that I was working at. I was going through some issues in my own personal aspects with their father. I didn’t know who to turn to. I spoke to her a couple of times and asking her what type of services she has done before. She gave me some information about divorce or custody.
I actually asked if I can sit down with her, just to discuss my issues and see if she can help, just because listening to her and just seeing her passion and how she wants to help made me feel like this could be somebody I want to work with. With that in mind, she took everything to heart and she was passionate about my daughters. That’s what made me stay because I felt like if this person can do that for me and she doesn’t even know me, then I know that I’m in good hands. At the end of the day, I was glad that I chose her because I was able to get sole custody of my daughters. They are in the best health and their best interest is always number one. She’s still gonna be the person I’ll be speaking to in terms of my own personal issues as well as their future endeavors.
I needed an attorney because I was getting married, and I wanted to do a prenup. At first, I wasn’t sure what it was going to be like, but when I first met Elizabeth, I was very pleased. I thought she was very warm. She laid out what we were going to do and the timeframe. My first impression was that she was an organized person. I felt that she genuinely had my interest at heart. There’s no question that she went out of her way to make it clear what needed to be done so that it was fair for both parties, which I found great. The process did give me peace of mind and I’m comfortable that the document is flawless.
Elizabeth and I, we actually developed a very strong bond in a short time. She’s absolutely a wonderful, wonderful attorney. She’s just great. She’s like a friend, you know?

I was brought back to the court for custody of my son by my ex-husband, and I decided Elizabeth would be a good fit for me.
Previously I had three or four, I can’t remember exactly, lawyers, but I was unhappy with their level of service. And Elizabeth took the time to go back and look at my case, and understand exactly what was going on. She saw the flaws, she saw my strengths, the strengths of my case, I should say, and she gave me great advice.
She’s very personable, she gives you a lot of time, and she walks you step by step through the process. She doesn’t expect you to understand everything first time. So if you have questions, you can always call her and ask. She’s extremely pleasant to deal with, she doesn’t make you feel badly because of your circumstances. She always looks at the bright side and she brings out the happiness for her clients.
