I retained Ms. Pfenson last year (after interviewing a few others) to fight a motion to modify custody. The opposing council was decidedly more “seasoned” and thought she could bully Ms. Pfenson with threats and such. All she did was get to see a real attorney at work. Ms. Pfenson proved that not only did the other attorney not know the Maryland Rules but also that the opposing side had made the terrible mistake of underestimating her skills. Ms. Pfenson was so thorough that his case was thrown out and he was ordered to pay a portion of my legal fees. Opposing council was flabbergasted. Ms. Pfenson is more than capable of handling everything that is thrown at her and carries herself with the utmost professionalism and class while knowing the intricate details of the law. Don’t let her polished look and pleasant demeanor fool you into thinking that she can’t go toe-to-toe with any other attorney. She is a formidable adversary and I would tell you that it is best to have her on your side than opposing you. On top of this, she is very personable, responsive, and easy to talk to. Seems unusual to find that combination of skills and qualities but Ms. Pfenson has them. I would recommend her to anyone dealing with a family law matter. I feel very confident having her on my side. She plays to win. Highly recommend her.

Elizabeth is an extremely knowledgeable and creative attorney. Any family law case can by a trying endeavor for all involved and it was nice to have someone understanding of my individual needs and unique situation. She was extremely attentive and receptive to the delicate nature of my case. I highly recommend Ms. Pfenson and as she is extremely hard working, communicative and truly cares about her clients well being and outcome of the litigation she presents.

Elizabeth always addressed my concerns in a very prompt and compassionate manner. She is smart, very thorough, and direct. Going through a divorce is stressful enough so it is very important that you feel confident that your attorney. In some of our cases our lives and the lives of our children really depend on the work your attorney does for you. I would not wish a high conflict divorce on anybody but if you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of one, I would HIGHLY recommend Ms. Pfenson.

She was smart, calm and collected. I wish she would have been more aggressive fighting my divorce case though. I was lead into discovery not realizing the huge cost it was financially and emotionally.

Elizabeth, was the best attorney I could possibly ask for. In my time of doubt, fear and despair she was there to keep me calm and focused. She worked so hard for me I felt like I was apart of her family. She is so knowledgeable down to earth and a force to be reckoned with in the court room. Shes a go getter who pays so much attention to detail that is amazes me to watch her do her thing. At this point I can say she is the epitimy of a strength, knowledge and professionalism and I love her dearly....if you have the pleasure of having Elizabeth you'll know exactly what I mean. Tiyana

I hired Elizabeth for counsel on a child support modification that was somewhat complicated and complex. From the first meeting with her, I knew I had selected the right attorney to handle my case. She took the time to thoroughly understand the case and my situation. My only regret is not retaining her and the BAR Law firm team for my initial divorce proceedings. If you are in need for a family lawyer, I highly recommend her.

I am very pleased with the service I received from Elizabeth during my custody and support case. Elizabeth is extremely knowledgeable of the Maryland law and the Anne Arundel courts and process. Elizabeth provided her legal opinion while listening to my concerns. I am most impressed with her attention to detail and organizational skills. When in a crunch she was able to adjust her strategy to save me time and money.

Hod do you begin to say thank you to someone who fought to help you keep your son? There are not enough words in the English Language to express my gratitude to Elizabeth for the work she did to help me with my custody battle and divorce. My mother found BAR Law through a recommendation from someone who had previously used them. It was very clear from day one with Elizabeth -that she was going to be (and was 100%) worth every cent. Elizabeth was professional, well educated, organized and so many other things one wishes to have in a lawyer. She researched ways of obtaining the outcome that I was looking for, which was going to be difficult, however, I was granted full legal custody of my son and the divorce was taken care of that same day in the courtroom. Elizabeth made herself available whenever I needed her-whether it was a question or a concern or to calm me down after two very disastrous mediation sessions. Elizabeth was well poised in court and she always made me feel at ease when we entered the courtroom. I remember feeling sad that it was all over - because for over a year, Elizabeth had become a constant in our lives - always offering advice and comfort. Elizabeth never made me feel like I had to choose one option over another. She listened to what I wanted the end result to be and what I would accept. When I tell people the outcome of my custody case and divorce - they are shocked and ask me who I worked with. I have and will continue to recommend Elizabeth. I tell anyone who will listen to me that she is worth every cent and this is the Lawyer you want on your side fighting for you. She is an asset to Brassel Alexander and Rice and I am so thankful for all that she did to represent me during this trying time in my life. Thank you Elizabeth - I am forever grateful for all that you did for me and my son.

Elizabeth and BAR Law were wonderful throughout my child support case. Elizabeth explained in detail the process and helped me make the most appropriate decisions regarding my case. Every phone call and email was answered in timely manner. My case was handled professionally between Elizabeth and her paralegals. I will definitely use her again and will refer her to anyone who needs legal help.

I had previously worked with another attorney in the firm prior to meeting Elizabeth. Although I was unsure about working with someone different, Elizabeth quickly made me feel comfortable. She was efficient and prompt and always explained the details of my case in a way that I could easily understand. In addition, Elizabeth showed compassion and gave me her honest thoughts on matters concerning my case. I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone in need of family law services.

Elizabeth has all the traits you want in an attorney. She's a committed professional; who is responsive, while being compassionate, understanding and pleasant. But what truly makes Elizabeth remarkable to me was her act of altruism on my behalf. I had already filed for custody of my grandson in Anne Arundel County, which is not an easy case to win in the State of Maryland. After I realized the surmountable task ahead, I retained Elizabeth’s firm. Elizabeth recommended transferring my case to another jurisdiction and a local attorney; a strategy to benefit the success of my case outcome, but also resulting in a faster resolution and at less legal cost to me. She was efficient and professional in working with the other attorney to formally transfer the case. Elizabeth’s plan not only worked brilliantly, I was granted custody of my grandson within four months, including the transfer. This case could have dragged on to the detriment of my grandson and at a considerable expense to me. I will be forever grateful in how Elizabeth put the welfare of my grandson, first.

We would highly recommend Elizabeth Pfenson as an attorney. Elizabeth is professional, dedicated and compassionate. She worked tirelessly to overcome roadblocks in our family law case that seemed insurmountable. She was wholly invested in the outcome. Elizabeth was accessible and promptly returned calls. In the end, we received the desired outcome because of Elizabeth's efforts on our behalf. We would not hesitate to use her services in the future.
