Elizabeth focuses her practice on family law, civil litigation, and collections. Prior to joining the firm in 2006, Elizabeth clerked for the judges of the Rockingham County Circuit Court in Virginia and for Justice Koontz (Ret.) of the Supreme Court of Virginia. During this time she gained an inside view of how the courts operate.
