Attorney Information
Overview
With over 25 years of experience, Liz is a highly skilled litigator known for delivering strategic and results-driven legal representation. She has represented a wide range of clients, from Fortune 500 companies to individuals facing life-altering personal injuries or navigating challenging divorces. Having worked on both sides of the docket, Liz understands that litigation is rarely the preferred option, but when it becomes necessary, clients need more than paperworkโthey need a fierce advocate. Liz meets that need, combining creativity, determination, and hard work to guide clients through the complexities of litigation, both inside and outside the courtroom.
Throughout her career, Liz has built a reputation for achieving client-centered outcomes:
She has secured multiple divorce clients a disproportionate share of their marital estates (80% to 90%) in cases involving family violence, adultery, and substance abuse.
- In partnership with JB, Liz protected a clientโs immigration status by defeating a fraudulent annulment claim and helped a mother retain full custody of her child in a heated modification case.
- Liz successfully obtained protective orders for victims of domestic violence, including a two-year order against a father for violence against his children.
- She achieved a record-setting $577,206 discovery sanction in a federal case where a party failed to produce key documents in the case.
- Liz secured multimillion-dollar settlements for families affected by defective baby productsโspearheading a nationwide recall campaign with the CPSC and appearing on 20/20 for her advocacy work.
- Liz played a pivotal role in overturning a $37 million verdict by exposing another partyโs malfeasance in hiding critical evidence in the case.
Together, Liz and JB obtained a six-figure settlement for their clientโa victim of childhood sexual abuseโagainst the psychiatrist who failed to report that abuse to the police in violation of Texas law.
Lizโs expertise also extends to non-compete litigation, products liability, and high-stakes business disputes, where she has consistently secured favorable outcomes, including full dismissals, injunctions, and substantial settlements. Lizโs commitment to her clients and her ability to deliver meaningful results make her a trusted advocate, ready to handle the most challenging cases with focus and determination.
