Elizabeth C. Barr is a Dallas/Fort Worth native. She attended college at the University of North Texas where she obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. Elizabeth’s eagerness to learn lead her to law school at Texas Wesleyan University School of Law where she obtained her Juris Doctorate Degree. While in law school Elizabeth knew she wanted to practice family law. To prepare herself for success, she selected courses throughout law school with an emphasis on family law, evidence and civil procedure and interned at various family law firms.
Since 2011 Elizabeth has exclusively practiced Family Law. Elizabeth began her career as an Attorney with the State of Texas at the Office of the Attorney General in Texarkana. In 2014 Elizabeth paved her way to Tarrant County where she continued to work for the State of Texas as an Assistant Attorney General in the Child Support Division. During her time employed with the State of Texas she successfully prosecuted thousands of child support matters. This makes Elizabeth an absolute asset to the team and to our client’s with parallel child support proceedings. Elizabeth’s knowledge of the law and experience in the courtroom allow her to effectively advocate for her clients and since entering private practice she handles all family law related matters including divorce, child custody, child support, adoptions, terminations and enforcements.
Elizabeth enjoys the practice of Family Law and helping clients navigate their cases to come up with the best solution for their family. Advocating for her clients in and outside of the courtroom, Elizabeth stands ready to provide you with the means to obtain resolution of your case.
When Elizabeth is not working or in the Courtroom, she enjoys cooking, photography and going on adventures with her labradoodle, Finn.
