About Us
Elizabeth puts the needs of her clients first. Many clients delay or dread scheduling an appointment to discuss the probate process, their estate plan, or marital agreement. Elizabeth guides her clients by listening, educating, and counseling them through the process and the decisions they make. Addressing client concerns is her first priority. This results in estate plans, marital agreements, and representation specific to her clients and their goals.
Elizabeth and her paralegal, Kaitlyn, work closely together as a team. Their approach is organized and efficient. They promptly respond to all client matters and provide document drafts in a timely manner. Their goal is to make the process as smooth as possible and leave clients with the peace of mind they deserve.

Throughout the process, Elizabeth prides herself on her ability to convey complex legal issues in an understandable form to her clients.
