Liz Wood gave me a VERY informative initial consultation. She was very knowledgeable and confident regarding my situation. We were able to settle the case before court (even through the opposing counsel was awful to work with) and the outcome was mainly in MY favor!! I’m happy and would definitely work with Ms. Wood again!!
Rachel Anne
Elizabeth has represented me a couple times with some tenant issues. She was very quick to send out the letters and gave me some great advice on how to handle late payments.
She is very professional and will even work nights and weekends if needed to get the job done
Ben Munson
Ms. Wood was a pleasure to work with over the past year from the moment we met she approached my case custody with fire and determination. She made sure that all of the correct paperwork was filed quickly and correctly. She gave me her word that i would end up with my son and that is exactly what happened. No matter what time i called or text she would reply quickly and reassure me that things would work out for me.
