Elizabeth Todd graduated from the University of Wake Forest School of Law in 1996. She has practiced all over the state of North Carolina representing families in domestic court, corporations in bankruptcy course, defendants in criminal court, and, finally, families against insurance companies and nursing home chains. She was representing clients in court before she even got out of law school – having the opportunity to work for Legal Services of North Carolina representing the poor in Charlotte during her summers in law school. 

Since 2000, Todd has devoted her practice to representing victims of nursing home abuse and neglect against insurance companies and nursing home and assisted living chains. At a time when most lawyers rejected these cases as not worth pursuing, Todd recognized the need to protect the frail elderly in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
