Elizabeth M. Best

Professional Background

After obtaining her bachelor’s degree at the University of Arizona, Elizabeth Best decided to test the waters in the legal field by obtaining her paralegal certificate from New York University. Elizabeth worked for a year at the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office in the Special Crimes Bureau as a paralegal and decided to further her education by going to law school. Elizabeth went to Southwestern University in Los Angeles and completed their intensive SCALE program, where she graduated in two years instead of the typical three.

After law school, Elizabeth moved back to Arizona and began working at a real estate law firm, where she gained experience in litigation, business and real estate transactional work, and estate planning.  After several years, Elizabeth decided she wanted to narrow her focus to estate planning, trust administration, and probate.
