It was SUCH a pleasure to have found an attorney and the firm who cares about my needs. Legal matters are very stressful and draining the last thing I need is someone taking my money and disregarding the objective why I hired them. No way not here!! I have to admit my guard was up after speaking with several attorneys I wasn't feeling too confident I was going to find what I was looking for but I did. Right from the beginning I had dropped my guard and was able to open up to Ms. Douglas. I finally found an attorney who understands what people are going through instead of just looking to get my retainer fee. After hiring Ms. Douglas I have spoken to many people at her law firm who are all very caring to me as a client and on point with following up and that's important to me. She has also surrounded herself with some very talented attorneys on her staff. I found Ms. Douglas via Google but now I'm very glad to know her and her staff. I usually don't fill out surveys but I made an exception in this case because I feel she is a special kind of attorney. If you haven't given her a call you don't know what you're missing.

I went for a consultation with Ms. Douglas and was very impressed with her organization and being prepared for our first consultation with knowing most of the basic facts. Before coming into the office she had me fill a questionnaire on line that gave her a good insight to the my case and she also did some background searches as well. This saved a lot of time wasting and I really liked her approach. She had game plan for how to deal with my case, unfortunately I was too far along to switch but would have if the timing was right.

Elizabeth and Meghan protected my rights as a father and positioned me to win my custody and child support cases. I would recommend Elizabeth to any day of the week. They work with you to form a plan that guarantees success, explaining every step.

I was refereed to Elizabeth by a friend. I went in for a consultation and did my own research. I knew that she was the right fit for me and my family after our conversation. I have two boys and I was very clear on what I wanted out of the divorce and what I was willing to "let" go. I was hoping that the divorce would be clear cut and fast, but I found out that it was not. After going back and forth to court for 3 years my divorce is finally over. There were many times I was so frustrated with the delay of legal system, but Elizabeth never gave up on my case and stood behind me every step of the way. Towards the end of my case I got an added bonus of Meghan being put on my case and the combination of these two woman worked very well for me. My case took much longer than it needed to and where no one comes out with all they want, I am very pleased with the firms representation for my family. When you are going through this process you are not thinking of all the things that are in the future, you are just thinking of the right now. Elizabeth will have you think of the future and the well being of your kids if you have any. If you want someone who will fight for you with passion and knowledge then this is the firm you should hire.

With prolonged procrastination I was in search of an attorney with whom I could feel comfortable and who I could trust with embarking on the journey of discussing my final life wishes. Ms. Douglas was recommended to me by a very reliable source. At first meeting I felt that Ms. Douglas shared an interest in my request for a Will and health proxy, yet at the same time provided me with questions and issues that I had not considered. She helped me toward a greater realization of the seriousness of the decisions that I wished to make. I received a document from Mrs. Douglas that further assisted me with the process of thinking through my goals and allowed me to be more specific about my needs. The document was reviewed and I was contacted in a timely manner for a followup consult. As I was not familiar with the legal terminology used in documents such as these, Mrs. Douglas allowed and even encouraged me to ask questions and make comments related to the information provided. Mrs. Douglas was very prompt and thorough in her response to my concerns. Appointments were always kept and if reschedules were needed they were done so well in advance. I am extremely pleased with my choice of Mrs. Douglas and with the final documents that I possess.

I recently worked with the best lawyers of all time; Elizabeth Douglas, Esq and Donny. They are very professional, extremely organized, easy to talk to, patient, understanding, empathic, strategic plans and strong/solid approaches. They give BEST LEGAL ADVICE for every situation and circumstance. They know their law! (Unfortunately, I cannot say that about most lawyers). They truly care about your case. They want you and your family to receive what you deserve. And the staff is absolutely amazing and easy to work with! It was a great pleasure having them represent me for my Divorce and Child Custody/Support case.

A friend referred me to the Law firm of Elizabeth A. Douglas and I thank her for doing so. This Law firm has the specialized knowledge to carry out the necessary steps to get results. Elizabeth and the staff are very professional. Elizabeth and the staff when answering questions and returning phone calls remain businesslike and do not waste any time. I highly recommend this Law firm and if necessary will use again.

I contacted Elizabeth a year ago for a consultation, she explained me everything that I would need as a mom of 3 and deserved for 13 years of marriage. I hire her firm this year and it was a pleasure working with them, not only they fit all my expectations but also helped me make some adjustments that I needed it to change last minute, I was divorce within a week after signing my stipulation. I can't say enough thank you, for all.
