Client Endorsement
"I was very happy to find Elizabeth Hunter part way through a high conflict divorce that was not progressing in my favor. The case was exceptionally complex as it involved property and financial assets in two countries with legal documents in two languages.
Ms. Hunter is a compassionate listener and approached my case mindful of the difficult future I was facing. She affirmed my long term needs and I was confident that she would factor them into my case. Ms. Hunter was highly attentive and quick to respond to my frequent questions and concerns. Combining my case information with her extensive legal knowledge, Ms. Hunter took a bold approach and constructed a highly unusual and creative path to attaining a settlement that resulted in a far better than anticipated outcome.
I highly recommend Elizabeth Hunter for her dedicated work ethic, attention to detail and client, and especially for her masterful ability to interpret the law in combination with a client's unique needs. Elizabeth Hunter will be your best asset in the delicate circumstance of divorce."
