Elizabeth R. Heilig is a 2009 graduate of the Paul M. Hebert Law Center at Louisiana State University and has practiced bankruptcy law exclusively since 2010. Originally from Alexandria, Virginia, Elizabeth earned her undergraduate degree in Political Science and International Relations from The University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. Before attending law school, she worked for the United States Senate.
Elizabeth’s interest in bankruptcy law began while working on Capitol Hill during the passage of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005. That experience sparked an interest in how bankruptcy law can help individuals and families facing financial hardship. After law school, Elizabeth moved to Charleston and began her legal career with Meredith Law Firm, LLC. She later founded Heilig Law Firm and has devoted her legal career to representing individuals, families, and small businesses in bankruptcy matters.
Elizabeth’s goal is to help clients understand their options and find practical solutions to difficult financial problems. She understands that financial difficulties can affect nearly every part of a person’s life and believes clients should be treated with compassion and respect. She takes the time to listen, explain the bankruptcy process in understandable terms, and help each client work toward a fresh financial start.
Outside the office, Elizabeth lives in West Ashley with her family. She enjoys spending summers in the sun and on the water and, during the cooler months, exploring Charleston, trying new restaurants, and enjoying all that the Lowcountry has to offer.
