When it comes to family law attorneys there are many choices out there. I wouldn't trust anyone to handle my personal affairs other than Elizabeth Johnson. She helped me with a family matter and it couldn't have resulted in a better outcome. I am very thankful to her and her partner, Andrew Klausner, for that. Her professionalism and knowledge are second to none (unfortunately I've worked with several family law attorneys). Not to mention, she is an attorney you can place your trust in as she is just a great person overall. That comes across from the moment that you meet her. I would have no reservations having Elizabeth represent me again or referring her to someone that needs her services. She truly puts her client's best interests first.
Going through a divorce was probably one of my life's most liberating moment. It was a difficult transition, but to be able to have the courage to finally do something you know you should have done for a long time. I knew the minute I met Andrew and Elizabeth that it was a match. Andrew was so stern, persuasive, and quick on his feet and Elizabeth is so precise, relatable and attention to detail. They both were very matter of fact, problem solvers, and total geniuses with numbers. After our first initial consultation, I told them what was going on with my husband at the time's on going affairs and abuse. Without judgement, they sat and listened and gave me comfort in examples of what kind of cases they have scene and how mine was not the worse. I didn't have any children, I was still at a pretty young age, and they asked me: "Do you want to leave him?" and I said yes! Just that first decision was a shift in stepping into my own and choosing happiness over obligation. They were able to file for a divorce and served him the subpoena the day he got back from his "business trip" They were always on top of everything and when we first started off I was making rookie mistakes like forwarding every threatening email my ex would write me which they could have easily billed me for but they made sure to get me on the phone to advise me how to consolidate and print the emails so I can save some money. The whole team here are so helpful. If I had a question, I would get a response almost right away, or if they were in court at least a couple hours after. If emails were too long to write out, I would get a phone call so that everything is clear and we know exactly what the action plan is as to next steps. I always felt I was taken care of and that they were on my side and behind me, fighting for what I deserve. During the last step of mediation, and we sat across from my ex and his lawyer. I could not have been more confident and ready. Every attempt my ex brought up to try to take from me such as my luxury handbags, jewelry, 401k, engagement ring, down payment of our houses, somehow Andrew would find something to rebuttal, and reason him out of it. Through the whole process, they were thorough, strategic and got me out with more than I could ask for. I am finally a new woman, without a cheating husband and have my own house, car and bank account full of savings I can fall back on singing "You don't own me, I'm not just one of your many toys...". I am now officially divorced, the final paperwork was filed with the court and the minute that happened and I got the email from Andrew and Elizabeth I literally felt 100% exonerated. I know I wouldn't have been able to do it on my own. All that paperwork, my ex and his many masks, scheming, harassing, manipulating... paying the lawyers to do all the work and not having to deal with being in contact with my ex was worth every penny. It's been 8 months since I filed for divorce, I have seen couples that are still trying to get their spouse to sign 2 years after filing for divorce. I am so relieved it only took us 8 months. Now that it's all over, I can move on to the next chapter of my life. Thank you Andrew, Elizabeth, Robin and the entire team for being so efficient and supportive during this process. I highly recommend anyone looking for representation to hire Andrew and Elizabeth. You will not regret it!
Being a mother in a dangerous relationship/living situation was my worst nightmare -- it became my reality as a 21 year old. I was terrified to take legal action against my daughters father, and after speaking with Ms. Johnson (And Mr. Klausner -- @Klausner Johnson LLP) I felt a sense of relief. Elizabeth is direct, compassionate and determined. Her personality was comforting in this horrible time of my life. She took detailed notes whenever I spoke, prepared my papers carefully and made sure I was up to date with each step of the process. I walked away with a Domestic Violence Restraining Order, full legal and physical custody of my daughter and most importantly, I had peace of mind knowing my daughter and I were safe.
I highly recommend SKT Law Firm, specifically Elizabeth Johnson and Andrew Klausner. My daughter's custody case was handled by Andrew and Elizabeth. I can't speak highly enough about each of them, and as a team you couldn't be in better hands. Their knowledge of family law and their organizational skills are impeccable. Elizabeth is an attorney who truly cares and treats you with respect and compassion. Because of Elizabeth's and Andrew's expertise in family law, their respect for the process, and their ability to prepare my daughter for what was going to occur during the custody hearing, along with their ability to get into evidence the needed information, my daughter maintained full legal and physical custody of the children. Elizabeth and Andrew also handled other matters pertaining to the divorce with complete professionalism, organizational skills and outstanding competence, again resulting in the best possible results for my daughter and the children. Every interaction with Elizabeth, Andrew and their office staff was a positive one. Elizabeth and Andrew are the finest attorneys that I've ever dealt with, and they are the only attorneys we will use in the future, if / when needed. I would give them 10 stars if I could!
Elizabeth is a true professional! She was a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited and the likelihood of a satisfactory resolution seemed nigh on impossible. Not only was she able to able to help us come to a positive agreement, her calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and those I care about most. My famiky and I are eternally grateful for her service and I hereby recommend Mrs. Johnson without reservation.”
My first time hiring an attorney, she is just amazing, answer all my email, my call on time, answer all my question and help me during the processes of child support. I highly recommend her. Thank you!!!
Elizabeth Johnson represented my adult son in a complicated divorce matter. The other side wanted to fight about everything without seeming to care about either party (including, it seemed, their own client) or my son’s two young children. Ms. Johnson showed how compassion, competence and professionalism are more important to the Court than aggression, paper churning and rude conduct. I used to think that lawyers were just interested in getting paid. Elizabeth Johnson and her paralegal, Robin, proved me wrong. Thank you so much!
I have been and still am an opposing counsel on a matter with Ms. Johnson. I appreciate tat even though she is a zealous advocate fro her client, she is never unreasonable and never acts in any manner other than sincerely professional. A party would do well to have her working on their family law matter.
I have needed legal services twice in my life and I would not consider using any other attorney. Elizabeth is very knowledgeable and helpful. There was no guess work and she always answered my questions and e-mails in a timely manner. I always felt lie Elizabeth had my and my son's best interest in mind. Very professional and I felt secure knowing that she was on my team. I could not find a better family lawyer and would not hesitate to have Elizabeth help me in the future. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a lawyer for a family matter.
