Attorney Information
Overview
I'm Liz, a solo practitioner, a wife and a mother. I juggle a law practice, an active and community based social life, and my child's busy calendar, just as so many of my clients juggle and struggle to maintain their work and family obligations. I get it, and I try to relate my personal understanding to my clients so that they feel listened to, understood, and ultimately, helped. My clients and fellow attorneys recognize me as a compassionate but vigorous advocate. I care about my clients and that makes me a diligent representative. My goals for client service are compassion for your needs, loyalty to your interests, and a deep knowledge and skill that comes from over 15 years of experience. I look forward to working with you.
