About Elizabeth Culley

Elizabeth has an unwavering ability to place herself in the shoes of her clients, a trait often lacking in litigators. Clients routinely comment that Elizabeth’s warm personality and sense of humor help them maintain a sense of normalcy during a difficult time in their lives. Elizabeth’s excellent legal writing skills also separate her from the rest.

Elizabeth understands what judges want to see and what they do not, and has become the go-to brief writer in the Litigation Group. Elizabeth’s passion, big law experience, and common sense approach make her an obvious choice for anybody facing litigation.
