Elizabeth K. Lybarger, Attorney

My name is Elizabeth K. Lybarger, and I am the associate attorney at Carson Law Firm. I first joined Carson Law Firm as a legal assistant in 2019 while pursuing my law degree through the part time evening program at Cleveland State University College of Law. I graduated from law school in December 2022 and became licensed in 2023.

My primary areas of practice are probate estate administration and estate planning, but I also assist clients with business formations, FinCEN Beneficial Ownership filing requirements, real estate transactions, and foreclosures.

I’m dedicated to helping my clients navigate the difficult times that come after the passing of a loved one and ensuring that the estate administration process goes as smoothly and cost effectively as possible.

During law school, I was a member of the Women’s Law Student Association and participated in the Transactional Law and the Community Advocacy Clinics. My work in these clinics provided real life experience dealing with local nuisance abatement regulations and community advocacy groups.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my husband, Adam, and our dog Pippin. I also enjoy baking bread, listening to audiobooks and podcasts, and riding horses with friends.

Education:
Lake Erie College, B.A. Political Science
Cleveland State University College of Law, J.D.

Licenses & Admissions:

Professional Associations:
