Elizabeth A. Smith

Expert and Compassionate Guidance Through a Difficult Divorce

My experience with Elizabeth Smith at Dennigan Cahill Smith was overwhelmingly positive. After 18 years of marriage, navigating the dissolution was emotionally fraught and legally complex. Elizabeth’s 22 years of experience, particularly her recognition in Family Law and Family Law Mediation by Best Lawyers, was immediately evident. She skillfully guided us toward a collaborative law approach, which was not something I had initially considered. Her deep knowledge of New Jersey family law and her calm, strategic demeanor helped de-escalate tensions and kept the focus on equitable solutions, especially concerning our children's custody and the division of our Princeton home. While the process was not inexpensive, her expertise justified the investment and likely saved significant costs associated with a protracted court battle. The one area where I occasionally felt some delay was in email response times during non-business hours, though her paralegal was always prompt with acknowledgments. Overall, Elizabeth provided the perfect balance of professional acumen and personal understanding. I felt genuinely represented and supported, and I am confident in the solid, fair agreement we achieved. I would recommend her to anyone in the Princeton area seeking a highly skilled and empathetic family law attorney.
