She is also bilingual and provides exceptional legal representation to the Spanish speaking clients.

Lauren Allswede, LMSW
Founder & Director of Clinical Services North Star Wellness Center Liz is an exceptional attorney. Her knowledge and integrity are enhanced by a charismatic personality. She built rapport quickly with the clients I referred to her - she was timely in communication and thorough in her investigations, and she made people feel comfortable talking to her. Liz's understanding of the bigger context - the ‘spirit’ of the law - reassured me that my clients would feel respected and understood, even if the outcome was not in their favor. Her familiarity with the intricate details - the ‘letter’ of the law - made me feel confident in the process and outcome of her work. The clients I work with have experienced some form of trauma, and I take very seriously who I recommend. I don't have to think twice when it comes to recommending Liz. She is a wonderful attorney and a tremendous asset to our community. When people need the assistance of an attorney, they are usually upset or overwhelmed in some way. They need someone they can trust to give them reliable information and perform in a skilled and professional way. Liz is experienced in Title IX and other forms of educational/employment rights, which is an increasingly relevant yet under-resourced service in our community. What other attorneys are just now paying attention to, Liz has been an expert in for years. Sean Arthurs, JD, PhD Senior Manager of Education Initiatives National Parent Teacher Association Liz is a dedicated advocate and passionate in service of her clients; she works across cultural and linguistic barriers and refuses to be intimidated. She is a talented writer and willing to consider novel and innovative problem solving approaches. Virginia Tallent, Esq. Senior Assistant City Solicitor, Quality of Life Division City of Cincinnati Law Department Liz is a tireless advocate on behalf of her clients, and an energetic and dynamic colleague. Liz is well respected in the Greater Cincinnati area as a legal expert in domestic relations and special education rights. She is capable of delivering successful results for her clients, even under very demanding circumstances. In 2013, I had the opportunity to collaborate with Liz on a presentation for a national conference of special education advocates. During our collaboration, I saw first hand that Liz is detail oriented, a creative thinker, and a strong public speaker. Liz also demonstrated that she writes with clarity and persuasiveness. Kathy King, Esq. Partner, The Farrish Law Firm Former Magistrate, Hamilton County Domestic Relations Court Liz is a dedicated attorney who cares about her clients.
