Elizabeth L. Polay

After years teaching in schools, I wanted to expand my support of education. Practicing law allows me the privilege of representing our educational community.

Serving my clients requires insightful knowledge of the law, but it also necessitates an understanding of the everyday issues my clients face. As a former teacher, I bring value to my clients with first-hand experience of the day-to-day challenges school districts encounter. I strive to not only provide effective and excellent legal representation, but also to clarify complex concepts of law in a way that allows my clients to focus on their responsibilities instead of worrying about legal complications.
