Meet attorney and expert, Elizabeth Schneider

Confident young woman smiling at camera

Background

I graduated from Northwestern University’s prestigious Medill School of Journalism in 2004, and studied law at the University of Tennessee College of Law, graduating in 2010. At the University of Tennessee, I received top marks in counseling clients and drafting, and I use the skills garnered at both Northwestern and the University of Tennessee in my practice. I worked for the top Atlanta firms, and I have a record of success as a litigator in the metro Atlanta area. As a contract attorney, I help firms when they are overwhelmed or have an associate who is on leave in order to maintain the highest client satisfaction. Additionally, I provide mediation services to pro se or represented clients via a secure online platform. My greatest passion is helping clients prepare for complicated trials by working on their testimony, their trial strategy, and honing in on the important pieces of evidence to present to the Court. I have been qualified as a mediator since 2010, a domestic mediator since 2013, and certified to mediate domestic violence cases in 2021. I have countless hours of courtroom experience, which makes me not only an experienced litigator and trial strategist but also a passionate advocate for mediation. My family and I have lived in Atlanta since 1996, and my small children, cat, dog, and I call Suwanee home.
