    Elizabeth Franklin-Best helped me while I was in federal custody with a legal name change and with securing a full year in a halfway house. Both requests were initially denied, and she pursued reconsideration and obtained approvals. Communication was consistent, and I felt respected throughout. I’m grateful for the results and would recommend her to someone needing post-conviction or reentry advocacy.

    Thank you for the review. Helping clients navigate the administrative challenges of federal custody—including legal name changes and halfway house placement—is central to what we do. Both processes require persistence, and we were glad to advocate for reconsideration when your initial requests were denied. Your trust in our team throughout that process meant a great deal. We wish you continued success as you move forward.

    Elizabeth Franklin-Best helped me with a supervised release issue and handled it with urgency and professionalism. She communicated clearly, worked directly with the U.S. Probation Office, and made sure I understood what was happening as the matter case proceeded. The situation was resolved quickly, and I felt supported throughout. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with supervised release or related post-convention issues.

    Thank you for your thoughtful review. Reentry involves more than legal compliance—it touches on family, stability, and rebuilding. We’re glad we could provide guidance that made the process feel more manageable. Your willingness to engage thoughtfully with the requirements made our work together productive. We appreciate your kind words and wish you continued progress.

When viewing a listing, consider the state advertising restrictions to which lawyers and law firms must adhere, as well as our FindLaw.com Legal Directory disclaimer. Some lawyers publish comparative information regarding the services that they provide which may be subject to specific comparative communications restrictions.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

  • Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
  • Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
  • Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
  • City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
