Elizabeth S. Pagel Pllc

I highly recommend Elizabeth Pagel to represent you in your family law case. While amidst the chaos of a new chapter in the life of your family, she is compassionate and understanding while completely and firmly advocating for YOU in your situation. She and her office are responsive, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. I hired Elizabeth on the recommendation of a friend, and have already referred her to friends who have hired her.

Elizabeth Pagel is a great attorney. She is also strong advocate & really cares about her clients. The best attorney for fighting for parents rights!! Highly recommend her!

100 % con artist. This woman swindled me out of $250. for a divorce consultation after revealing my ex-wife's attorney was in the next office of the same building. He came and peeked in on our meeting. Great hustlers !

The rudest person you will ever talk to! Be careful before you spend $300 on her. She will rush you during your conversation, does not listen, and extremely unprofessional. DO NOT PAY!!! she does not care about anyone’s situation. Don’t listen to the positive reviews because they are a lie. Trust me when i say, find someone else. She legit just screams at you the entire 30 minutes.

Pros: Very responsive, makes you feel supported. Cons: She will hang you out to dry when you need an advocate the most. My husband retained her to represent him in a high-conflict child custody modification case. For nearly six months, we provided her with documented examples of his ex-wife's antics, not to mention that his ex-wife's lawyer repeatedly disrespected the legal system, so we thought we'd be ok come mediation and, if necessary, at trial. A week or two before mediation, Elizabeth told my husband she did not think he had a case for becoming the custodial parent, despite the fact that he has a job and a home, neither of which his ex-wife has (her parents even paid for her scumbag lawyer). Instead, Elizabeth said she would fight to keep the decree as-is (50/50 custody and expenses, no child support). This was the first red flag. Then, two days before mediation she told my husband the mediation was scheduled for only 4 hours, not 8. She said she was confident they could get a deal in that time. I knew that wasn't true because I knew who was on the other side - a high-conflict narcissist who never backs down. That was the second red flag. Then in mediation came the complete 180. The two attorneys mediated for hours on one issue when there were several issues to address. Then Elizabeth blindsided my husband with a MSA that made his ex-wife the custodial parent and gave her the maximum amount of child support allowed by the state. My husband walked out of mediation without signing it. The next day, Elizabeth called me to try to convince me that this was a good deal in hopes that I would convince my husband, even going so far as to tell me things about MY OWN LIFE that I knew were not true. She did not convince me. Later that night, she emailed my husband with an ultimatum: sign the MSA or sign a document that said he won't sue her for malpractice. She also said that if he signed neither, she would withdraw representation. He ended up signing the MSA and fired Elizabeth anyway. We have since consulted with several other attorneys, all of whom were mystified at what happened, said a 4-hour mediation was ridiculous, and that the ultimatum was in very bad taste. Bottom line: Find another attorney. She was outlawyered by an amateur and covered by forcing a bad deal. And everything I predicted would happen as a result of the MSA is happening now. At the child's expense.
