Elizabeth Van Moppes’s Experience

  • Owner

    Law Office of Elizabeth Van Moppes

    (Law Practice industry)

    May 2006Present (3 years 3 months)

    Three years ago, after a decade of practice under the umbrella of two nationally renowned law firms and as a State Assistant Attorney General, I opened my own firm.

    My core business policy is to maintain personal contact with clients to better understand their business needs and help them achieve their goals. Through this approach, I earn my clients’ trust and confidence, acting as a resource for issues that arise in managing employees.

    "Legal issues are tough for anybody in business, and the weight of some of these issues is unimaginable. During these times, you need ... faith that the attorney you hire is focused, dedicated, and [going to] deliver results. You need to [know]that your attorney feels they have as much at stake in the outcome is you do. In my 20 years of business, the only attorney that I have ever hired that filled these requirements was Elizabeth Van Moppes." - Mike Cannon, Executive Vice President, Bellacure, Inc.
