Erica Aquadro from Elizabeth Christy Law Firm PLLC, Rocks!!!! Living far away from OR and with an ex-wife like mine, I have been in court four times in three states in two years, I was worried with picking an attorney just over some reviews and through an initial phone consult. Well Erica seemed professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly interested in what I said from the very first phone call. Erica is by far the best family law lawyer I have ever worked with!!! She ALWAYS had my best interest in mind, showed me compassion, kept me informed, kept me level headed, and so much more. Erica not only got to know me, but understood what we were up against and put all the right words in the documents to protect me, my daughter, and our future together. She is a great attorney and one that I would highly recommend to anyone going through a pleasant or ugly divorce. SHE IS THE BEST!!!!

Erin has been tremendous with her advice, research, care and general helpfulness. She and her team are willing to go to bat for their client and do all they can to help with even some of the most difficult cases. Hiring an attorney is seldom easy, but Erin is an advocate and working with her has made me feel like someone is actually on my side. I highly recommend Erin and her team and have fully trusted and relied her guidance.

Erin Morris is the family law attorney you want on your side. She is not only a zealous advocate for her clients in the courtroom but also incredibly approachable and thoughtful to her client’s needs and concerns. I would recommend her services without hesitation to all of my friends or family who are in need of family law services.

Erica Aquadro is professional, focused, a great communicator, and a wonderful attorney to have on your side. She guided me in my situation (a child support modification matter) with a lot of patience, friendliness, and was always there whenever I had questions or needed clarification. I also found Erica always well prepared for court and she worked with our difficult opposing party with the utmost professionalism---through which she guided me wisely and kept me informed consistently. Her promptness, attention to detail, and impeccably thorough knowledge of family law made me feel confident and protected every step of the way. There's no better feeling than having the utmost confidence in your attorney—and I had that with Erica. I would absolutely recommend Erica without hesitation to anyone requiring family law services.

Erica Aquadro was professional, thoughtful and accurate. She took time to understand my situation, and also focused the dialoue on the relevant points and facts to save time and $. I'm extremely happy with the consultation I receved, and I'll certainly ask for her help again if I need to.

Elizabeth is kind, compassionate, honest and an excellent attorney! Has my highest recommendations.

We hired Elizabeth after several failed attempts to modify my fiancé's custody and parenting orders as the kids were in danger with the primary parent. We wanted to find an attorney that was passionate about and would fight for a fathers rights as we felt they aren't as recognized as often and not taken as seriously. Elizabeth jumped right on our case and within 24 hours had the ball rolling. We walked away getting the kids into a safer situation with us more permanently, we couldn't have asked for a better outcome or a more amazing attorney and person than Elizabeth Christy! I must also add her team is equally amazing!!! I highly recommend Elizabeth and her team!!!

I recently worked with Erica Aquadro to litigate over child support agreements and throughout the process Erica was very thorough and effective at navigating the process. My income and work background is a tricky situation and Erica was meticulous at revisiting the structure of the documents to ensure I wasn't taken advantage of. Erica works under the assumption of "that's not happening to my client", and will not allow you to be bullied under pressure. She's very diplomatic with others and consistently has your best interest. The outcome of my case was very fair because of her diligence and I'm very appreciative of her strong work ethic. I will have no issues working with Erica in the future because it felt as if my family was in control of my case.

Beautiful building

I found myself in Elizabeth’s office in 2017 with my newborn son. She has been there for us since and I cannot even begin to describe how all around wonderful she is! She is the most intelligent individual I know, very respected, and she genuinely CARES. She tackles every situation with the utmost of logic and preparedness. She takes heart in achieving the best results for your case and most importantly for your children. Words could never explain how grateful I am for Elizabeth, Leslie, and the rest of her amazing team. If you are looking for an experienced, professional, devoted attorney, I cannot recommend Elizabeth Christy enough. She is truly one in a million!

Elizabeth Christy is simply an amazing attorney. She was compassionate and listened carefully to me. She was fair and nonjudgmental. She was excellent every step of the way, from explaining the confusing parts of the process, to helping me strategize the best steps to take, and finally she was outstanding when she advocated on my behalf in front of the judge. She is both very honest and frank, and yet will work hard to get the best outcome. With her help I won most of my positions against a very aggressive opponent who had secretly been building a case against me for years. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone- anyone except my opposing party!

Elizabeth really cares about her clients! She goes above and beyond to provide the best outcome and really listens to every concern. Thank you Elizabeth!

Elizabeth helped me get full custody off my son. She was very helpful and did an amazing job. I am so pleased to have had her as my Attorney. Thank you very much from my kid and myself!

Both Elizabeth and her Paralegal Leslie were amazing, they worked hard from the first day of taking on my case, and they were nothing but professional. If you are in need of a family law attorney in the Vancouver, WA area, I would highly recommend her.

There are hundreds of divorce lawyers in the Portland Metro area and how is one to decide where to turn when seeking a divorce. Foremost, you want someone who is HONEST and who won’t promise you the moon in order to gain a client. Someone who is ETHICAL which is needed when dealing with an unscrupulous respondent attempting to make deals on the side. Someone who responds to your communications within two days and keeps you apprised of the process. Someone who is RESPECTFUL and COMPASSIONATE. Someone who does not “handle the client” but definitely handles the problems. Someone who will FIGHT hard for you! Someone who goes ABOVE and BEYOND what you expect in attending to lingering details after litigation is over just to minimize stressful situations. Elizabeth Christy, and her staff, is ALL of that and MORE. Without hesitation, I would recommend Elizabeth in a heartbeat to anyone seeking a divorce.

I highly recommend Elizabeth Christy and her Law Firm. I worked with Elizabeth during a modification process and she made the process as easy as it can be. She answered all of the questions I had in a timely manner. It was a very stressful time for me, Elizabeth and her staff kept me on track and took excellent care of me. I have referred her to friends and will continue to do so!

Elizabeth Christy was efficient, thorough, and professional during that stressful time of my divorce. Her friendly nature was reassuring.
She was helpful about details that were not covered in the petition. I appreciated her prompt replies.
I would recommend her highly!

I highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone in need of a family law attorney. She is very honest, compassionate, and professional. She was always quick to respond to emails or voicemails and answered all questions I had with complete honesty so I never had false hope. I feel like she went above and beyond by answering emails in the late evening many times. With her on my side, I was awarded custody of my son and that is definitely something you can't put a price tag on. I couldn't be happier with her services services!! She was worth every penny spent!

I retained Elizabeth Christy Taylor to draft an important legal document.  Elizabeth and her team were efficient, professional, and communicative.  My issue was handled quickly and correctly!  I would absolutely recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for high quality legal services.

I am a Canadian whose ex-husband resides in the United States. I retained Elizabeth and her firm because I was requesting Post Secondary support. Elizabeth and her associate Jeremy did an outstanding job. She was supportive and responsive in a timely manner to all my questions. Most of all she was understanding. She understood the emotional roller coaster that I was on. She supported and steered me in the right direction until the end. When she went to court on my behalf she came back with wining results. She is professional and results driven and I would not hesitate to recommend Elizabeth and her team.

We first retained Elizabeth for parenting plan modification in 2011 after meeting with several different lawyers in the area. From the start Elizabeth put us at ease with her knowledge and confidence and we felt right away that she was the right person to represent us. She made the court process easy to manage and kept us up to date on any new challenges or questions regarding our case, while also managing costs. Since 2011, we have had to return to court several times and there is no-one else we would go to for our needs.
During our most recent court case she navigated us through a rather complex case including child support, post-secondary support, and parenting plan modification. During this time, we were able to work also with her associate Jeremy who did an excellent job working with all the information we gave him and helping to construct a concise and professional statement for the courts. She was always efficient about keeping us informed and responding to our questions and concerns. She was upfront and honest about expectations and did not “over-promise” what we knew would be a difficult case. Despite this, she fought hard for us and in the end we are extremely happy with the result. She will not allow herself to be pushed around or manipulated by opposing counsel, and will not get flustered by their inappropriate comments, accusations or requests. We all know that divorce and custody disputes can be quite emotional and ugly, and it was a relief to have representation that put professionalism as a priority while at the same time ensuring that all of the pertinent information is provided for the court.
We have also been able to view Elizabeth represent us in court on several occasions during this case, as well view several other attorneys in the area, and I can say in full confidence that we chose correctly and had the very BEST attorney to represent us. I would not hesitate to refer friends and family to her firm, in fact we already have!

I would highly recommend her (and have to friends and family) as an attorney!!!!

She is very fair, I used her in a custody case with my son back in 2012 and I loved working with her. She communicates and keeps you in the loop. She explains the process (in language you understand), what to expect and the outcome.

My son was recently adopted by my husband and we had to use a different attorney, that did not communicate with us, did not do things in a timely manner and over all was very frustrating! Something that should have taken a month to two months to complete took five months! Also, was told one fee and ended up being double! It made me appreciate my first experience with Elizabeth! Knowing that not all attorneys are like the one we dealt with.

We recently asked her to represent us in a child support case and I am so thankful for her being able to do it. She is human and easy to talk to and explain things to, with no judgement. She truly cares and wants to help!

In both cases she made sure that it was affordable and we really appreciate that being a family of five!

If we need to use her in the future she is our number one to go to! I also will continue to send people her way if need be!

Elizabeth is absolutely fantastic. I had a difficult child custody case, and I don't believe I could have obtained the results I did without her expert guidance. She is easy to work with, gives honest advice and guidance, and the quality of her work and her results are exceptional.

She's also got a great group of people working with her, and every step of the way I felt like I knew what was going on, what I needed to be working on, and what was going to happen next.

If your goal is achieving the best possible outcome for you and your family, you could not have anyone better on your side than Elizabeth Christy.

I reached out to Elizabeth Christy as my girlfriend was attempting to proceed on her own with some child custody and child support issues. It was causing her a lot of stress, and she'd had a less than helpful experience with the a court facilitator. In an effort to be helpful, I sought out an hour of time with a lawyer to help steer my girlfriend properly, help her get informed on the process, and in general get a clear direction.

We booked a consultation with Elizabeth Christy's law firm and were scheduled with Emily Roberts. We were upfront about desiring information on how to proceed on our own, but did mention if the situation required it and we felt we could work with the lawyer, we would proceed with them representing us.

My girlfriend and I found the experience both unpleasant, unproductive, and not overly informative. I found getting direct answers out of Emily a combative experience. She would tell us to just go get documents on the website. I mentioned my girlfriend was clearly overwhelmed by the process, so perhaps she could help us find the documents. I then requested she email us the documents and help us ensure we have them all. She refused to send email. I asked her to print them. She begrudgingly printed one document, which we later discovered was printed on yellow paper and the court will not accept so printing the singular document was worthless. We asked her how to craft a particular document she mentioned, and she dismissively said they were on the website. I held her feet to the fire and asked her to show us... she went to the website and then slowly backpedaled into acknowledging the documents don't actually exist on the site, there are no templates, and they are usually prepared by people in her employ. She provided abstract verbal direction on how to complete this ourselves.

After gleaning what information we could, I had a few steps in place to help my girlfriend proceed, or so I thought. We went next door to the courthouse and attempted to proceed as advised. We instantly ran into difficulty. Wanting to keep the process going and being as helpful as possible, I paid the small fee to see a court facilitator.

20 minutes and $20 with the court facilitator was a vastly superior experience for us to the one hour and $200 with Emily Roberts. We got clear direction, we got a list of form items, and we got helpful advice. Ontop of all of this the lady acknowledged we weren't quite ready to speak with her, gave us our receipt back then told us what to come back with (in a very polite and helpful manner) when we were prepared and at that time she would be properly equipped to help us proceed.

So if you want good service... save 90% and walk one block to the court house.

We have dealt with Elizabeth and her firm for a few years now and have had a great experience, considering the circumstances. She is always friendly, compassionate and goes the extra mile for her clients. She is quick to correspond as needed whether it be by email or telephone. We would highly recommend her to others in need of a family law attorney.

I was extremely disappointed with my experience with Elizabeth Christy. My (now) ex-wife were working through our divorce about a year ago. We received initial proposed child care and child support numbers based on gross monthly incomes. Naturally, my ex-wife proposed numbers that were excessively high. Elizabeth Christy wasn't much help in diving into the numbers and figuring out why they were excessive to then propose a counter proposal. Also, there were numerous errors and mistakes in our drafted responses that I was responsible for catching. I didn't feel comfortable that Elizabeth was capable of representing me or maybe she didn't have my best interest at heart. Therefore, I chose to take my business elsewhere. $1,500 for multiple mistakes, simply reading documents and not providing any real legal support was disappointing to say the least. My experience was extremely dissatisfying and wouldn't recommend their services.

My husband and I hired Elizabeth Christy when we were faced with an uphill challenge of family court matters nearly 4 years ago. We had no idea what to look for in a lawyer, so we delved in and scheduled a meeting with Elizabeth. We were so nervous, but were more lucky than we could of hoped for.

Elizabeth was compassionate, understanding, and very patient. As we prepared documents, she updated us every step. When we had court, she answered every question promptly. We always felt "in the loop" with what the status was and how court matters were progressing. She never promised us false outcomes to encourage us into hiring her or continuing to work with her. We hired her because she was so very honest and open about what our true options/possibilities are.

I could go on and give such specific details as to why you should hire her and quit looking for another attorney. There is a reason we continued to use her for nearly 4 years. We built a history with her and trusted her to understand what our challenges were and continue to be. I don't believe relationships like that develop without a level of trust and understanding.

Unfortunately, we were served documents from another county, and had to leave her services. My first sadness of being served, was not that we were served, but that we couldn't work with Elizabeth anymore. It speaks volumes that after our case transferred to another county, she continued to contact me and email to here what the final word was.

If ever the chance to handle family law matters in Clark County, there is no doubt that I would email her and ask if she would represent us again.

I have worked with Elizabeth Christy Law Firm for over 4 years. They are very skilled and knowledgeable with what they do. I have referred my family and friends to their firm and everyone has positive feed back for them.

She has experience and an understanding of how stressful these matters can be. I'd recommend her before everyone else.

Elizabeth's knowledge of the legal system was impressive. I was told she was amazing and that was exactly the case. Her concern, thoroughness and aggressiveness in the court room makes me feel comforted to pass on a great referral !!!!!

Elizabeth is a top-flight attorney, and I cannot recommend anyone more highly. She is ultra-competent and sharply focused, and will advocate solidly on your behalf while maintaining the right balance of class and decorum necessary to make real headway with the "other side." Elizabeth's qualities as an attorney are particularly enhanced by the fact that she is simply an outstanding human being. This ethereal and irreplaceable "heart and soul" is important, because your family law attorney sees you, and most everything about you, at one of life's lows. Elizabeth is great at pushing when appropriate, backing off when appropriate, and assessing likely legal outcomes in a realistic fashion so that you are not overcharged. In other words, she will help get you through, to a divorce and custody situation that is as sane as humanly possible.

Elizabeth was a great lawyer. She explained everything clearly, listened to all my questions and concerns and had helpful answers. She helped make a very stressfull and difficult time in my life more managable. I would recomend her to anyone.
