Attorney Information
Overview
Elizabeth Hancock is a personal injury trial attorney at Morris & Dewett Injury Lawyers, representing injured plaintiffs across Louisiana and Texas. She served as an Active-Duty Air Force Security Forces Airman before practicing law, and she brings that same discipline and preparation to every injury case she handles.
Elizabeth prepares each case as though it will be decided by a jury. She builds the evidence to settle the claim on fair terms, and she is ready to try the case in court if the insurer will not. Her clients came to her after a serious injury, usually caused by someone else’s negligence.
Background
Elizabeth’s Air Force Security Forces service shaped how she practices law. It built the discipline, preparation, and accountability she applies to client communication, case investigation, and trial preparation.
She earned an Associate of Applied Science in Criminal Justice from the Community College of the Air Force before completing a Bachelor of Science in Human Resource Management at Park University. She later earned both her Master of Business Administration and Juris Doctor from Mississippi College. She is licensed to practice in Louisiana, admitted in 2014, and in Texas, admitted in 2022.
How Elizabeth Builds a Case
Elizabeth starts by understanding how the injury has changed her client’s daily life, work, and finances. That detail becomes the foundation of the case.
From there she documents the full extent of the harm. She gathers the medical proof, the records of lost income, and the evidence of long-term effects. The goal is a record that shows what happened, what the injury cost, and what it will take to address it.
