About Elizabeth Anne
Elizabeth Anne Douglas built her legal foundation at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University. She completed the law program there, where classroom training and clinical experiences shaped her approach to client work. Law school introduced her to courtroom procedure and negotiation, and it set the stage for a career spanning two state jurisdictions.
After law school, Douglas gained admission to practice in both Connecticut and New York. She has practiced across those states, advising clients and appearing in family and trial court proceedings. Early career work exposed her to a range of family law matters. That practical exposure influenced how she manages cases today.
Douglas maintains active memberships in professional associations. She attends continuing legal education to stay current on statutory changes and recent case law. Participation in meetings and seminars keeps her connected to colleagues and to developments affecting family law practice in New York and Connecticut.
She is the principal attorney at Douglas Family Law Group, PLLC, where she handles matters that arise in both state systems. The firm’s name signals its practice area. Her caseload routinely includes divorce, child custody and visitation, child and spousal support, and property division. She also assists clients who pursue negotiated settlements through mediation and collaborative law processes.
In court, Douglas represents clients at hearings and trials when contested issues require adjudication. She prepares pleadings, manages discovery, and develops trial strategies when settlement is not possible. Outside the courtroom she focuses on practical solutions designed to address immediate family needs while considering long-term consequences. Her practice balances negotiation with litigation readiness.
Clients and other lawyers describe her as methodical and attentive to detail. She approaches each file by assessing practical options and legal risks. That assessment shapes the roadmap she proposes for a case. Communication is a consistent element of her practice; she aims to keep clients informed about procedural steps and likely outcomes.
Douglas also works with mental health professionals, financial specialists, and mediators when cases require multidisciplinary input. That collaboration helps frame agreements that account for parenting schedules, support calculations, and the division of assets. She represents individuals across Connecticut and New York and appears regularly in family courts in both states.
She currently practices at Douglas Family Law Group, PLLC, representing clients in family law matters in Connecticut and New York.
