So we had an initial consultation, Elizabeth listened to my ordeal, carefully developed a good plan, she stuck to the truth, which is all I wanted. I faced all sorts of lies thrown about me, I was on the verge of losing my son to the shady ways of his mother, who wanted him to be her meal ticket. Exposed him to abuse and she had used her own children as a weapon, manipulated all our friends into believing total lies. I had become a pariah in all our friends and family circles. What Elizabeth did was properly present all the facts, allowed me to finally get a day in court, to let the truth shine, her questioning of the defendant and her witnesses completely changed the outcome of the case, I thought I had no chance. Liz's professionalism and tenacious quest for the truth were awe inspiring. Because of the things she did, her proper demeanor, not allowing me to burst into the highly charged emotional state I was in... (and believe me it is hard to sit there and hear lies and accusations that have no basis on truth) she helped me save my son from a horrible fate, something which I'd digress to explain here. I'd trust her fully, because she will fight for you, making things right. In the end I gained full custody of my son and that has become the second happiest day of this life! (second only to the day he was born) Before I met Elizabeth, I had a very low opinion of lawyers I must admit, I kept thinking that they all just wanted my money and were not interested in making things right, I realized with Liz that I was very wrong on that. Never in my wildest dreams I could have seen a brighter outcome than this. Of course I'd recommend Liz, in a heartbeat, to anyone.

I have been working with Elizabeth (Liz) for the past year on a very difficult divorce case. Even with the overwhelming amount of paperwork, motions and court appearances, Liz remains focused on the case in great detail. Liz is very personable and gives the feeling of not just being a “case number” but determined to work for the specific cause while understanding the hardships of the personal situation. Liz is very knowledgeable with divorce law and the workings of the Court. She knows how to push the cause yet knows when to relax and allow the Court to make a ruling. Presentation of the case to the Court and the opposing lawyer is without a doubt a strength for Liz who remains decisive with her actions. Liz is highly recommendable.

We have hired Liz for a family court issue involving child support and child custody. She has been nothing but top notch - in service, communication, negotiating and overall knowledge of the law in PA. We have and will continue to work with her, and would look no further when looking for a lawyer. She uses excellent case law, and has backing for all of her points. She does not do anything without extensive research and thought. We feel we struck gold with her, because she has come out on top of each issue we’ve gone to court for. We highly recommend Liz!
