Elizabeth handled a child support modification in family court to a favorable result with a difficult pro se respondent. I do believe that due to her representation the court was more accepting of my position. Elizabeth took the time necessary to prepare me and herself for the hearing. I would definitely retain Elizabeth again and highly recommend her.

I retained Liz to handle a case of constructive emancipation of my two children. Not an easy case. She was very dedicated and hard working. We went to trial, which lasted quite a few days. She won my case. I felt like she really listened to me and understood how important my case was to me. Very talented in court. I highly recommend her!

Do yourself a favor, just find someone else. She is not a trial attorney and unable to effectively represent Her clients in front of a judge. It's pretty clear the judges don't like her much either. The judge flat out told me (on a day that Elizabeth didn't show up for my court date) that she had faxed over to the judge a very harsh complaint about the law guardian (the law guardian was awesome and clearly on my side) Elizabeth could have done some serious damage to my case of I kept her. She was a $60k mistake, but better late than never. I'm giving you fair warning. Find someone else to represent you.

Liz handled my VERY difficult divorce. She was honest with me during the entire process and guided me throughout the ordeal with very realistic advice. Ultimately, I ended up with the exact custody agreement that we had tried to get. After the divorce was final, I consulted with Liz on some other issues and she handled them free of charge for me. She cares about her clients, which includes telling them the truth even when it may not be easy to hear. This is unlike my exes lawyers who just kept telling him what he wanted to hear and cashing his checks. I strongly recommend using Liz, she's a great lawyer!

Hired Liz for an acrimonious divorce, with many assets. She got me a great settlement after three days of trial. Thrilled with the result! She cares deeply about her clients.

I hired Liz Harrington to handle my very difficult divorce. After over 1 1/2 years in the courts, and over $30,000, I realized that she cared more about the money and didn't have my best interests in mind. She would get annoyed if I asked her to explain something, would not return my calls and would not sit with me while we were in the courthouse. She would come out of court after meeting with the judge, wouldn't get anywhere, and would always comment that it was the "boys club" in there. I had to find another lawyer, who handled the rest of my divorce with integrity and honesty. DO NOT HIRE THIS LAWYER! I found out that someone I know also used her for their divorce and went through the same thing and had to find another lawyer.

I used Elizabeth for my second divorce. I wish I would have used her for my first. The first time I got divorce I used a popular divorce firm who's fees were astronomical and did not get a fair settlement. This time when I used Elizabeth, she fought for me and my children. Not only did I get a great settlement, but she found out that my husband had more assets then I knew about. Therefore, raising the amount that I got. Her legal fees were fair and well paid for. Would absolutely use her again, if I ever got married/divorced again.

Elizabeth Harrington is interested in the size of her wallet, not her clients best interest. Keep an eye on the details of what she presents to you and realize that settlements are written with the intent of you having to use her again and again. She started off ok, but when my case became more involved and had to go to trial, she rushed through the process and missed many key points. Maybe she had another vacation planned ... I'm not sure. But she certainly seemed preoccupied and cost me a lot of time with my son. Example ... I have sole custody but am not entitled to vacation time with the child. The child's father was ordered to go to rehab and take a drug test every 3 months and somehow he gets vacation, holiday, and birthdays with him every year. The way the order was written, I'm actually not entitled to these things. Although she presented it to me as if I was. Please beware and get a second legal opinion before allowing her to write any stipulations of settlement for you. I paid a pretty penny for a very flawed settlement.

She handled my divorce and got me a GREAT settlement. Caring and compassionate about her work. She also has a very knowledgeable;e paralegal, who assists in the day to day stress of divorce. Highly recommend.

Miss Harrington is a brilliant and compasionate attorney. She fights for her clients and will not back down or be intimidated. The office staff is always courteous and calls back. Elizabeth is a terrific litigator and can try a case against any firm on LI and win. I absolutly got my monies worth.

She is not a dedicated lawyer, just look to take the money without any kind of effort to defend the interest of her client. If those interest are easy going, in other word, if the other lawyer won't put pressure on her, she might be good, but if a case need dedication and she need to confront the other lawyer with a quick resolution in favor of her client interest, she doesn't. Unfortunately Mrs. Harrington poor action and resolution mess up my case and she charge me a lot money just to be doing everything in benefit of the other part. I don't recommend her at all.
