Elizabeth Estes
Managing Partner / Estates and Trusts Practice
Elizabeth “Libby” Estes has the experience, knowledge and compassion to help guide you through the process of preparing your estate plan. Libby starts the process by listening to you in order to get an understanding of your unique needs and goals. Then she identifies and presents the options to you along with her recommendations. This collaborative process ensures that your estate plan is tailored to your specific circumstances.
In addition to estate planning, Libby practices probate as well as estate and trust administration. She knows and understands how estate plans work because she implements them. Libby also offers legal services in business law and entity formation for those individuals, couples and families who have or wish to establish business interests. By providing these essential services, she will help you meet your goals today and plan for the future, whatever your unique needs may be.
Libby graduated from Arizona State University College of Law (now Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law) in 1998. Thereafter, she clerked for a judge at the Arizona Court of Appeals and went on to private practice in a mid-sized Phoenix law firm. Prior to opening her own firm, Libby was a partner at a large national law firm, where she represented a wide range of clients, from individuals to large companies, in complex litigation.
Armed with the knowledge and experience gained while working in a large law firm, Libby narrowed her focus and opened her own law firm. She tailored her practice to provide more personalized attention and quality legal services focused on helping individuals and families navigate the complexities of estate planning, probate, trust administration, guardianship/conservatorship, and business law. Recognizing that Cantor Law Group shared the same vision, Libby joined the firm to continue providing high quality legal services with personalized attention, empathy and an unwavering commitment to the best interests of her clients.
Libby spends much of her free time with family and friends. When the weather is nice, you can find her climbing up South Mountain or hiking any one of the many beautiful trails that Arizona offers. She and her husband love food, wine and travel and try to combine the three as often as possible.

Fantastic office, clean, and amazing artwork. Plus final boss sour!Posted on Kevin McDermottTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Nick Boca and Robyn McCraw. I felt I was in the best of hands from the beginning. They were clear and upfront at all times with their communication and instruction. Any divorce is a difficult time, and Nick and Robyn understand that. Their compassion for my situation and professionalism in how they handled my case stood out the most. I would highly recommend their services to anyone going through a difficult divorce. KMPosted on PeggyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cantor Law Group came as a recommendation from a family friend, and I am so grateful that this led me to speak with Nicholas Boca. Nik represented me in a complicated divorce which detailed a substantial claim of waste that spanned my 25-year marriage. He was very straightforward and honest and worked purposefully on my behalf at all times. He was empathetic to my situation and found ways to navigate difficult challenges unique to my case. Perhaps most importantly, he understood the importance of bringing closure to my situation and did his best to avoid unnecessary legal expenses. His methods to find resolution required wisdom and experienced practice of law. My heartfelt gratitude also extends to Robyn and Amanda. This was a team effort. Amanda’s knowledge of law, Robyn’s organizational skills and instinctive nature were invaluable. My “team” at Cantor Law Group cared. My case mattered, I mattered, my family mattered. From the front desk to the billing department, everyone handled my inquiries and needs without delay. Each person I interacted with seemed to know me personally and I felt reassured they were all working together to achieve the best possible outcome. Cantor Law Group has an excellent reputation amongst the experts. It was extremely reassuring knowing that the work ethic and professionalism of Cantor Law Group is respected by both the experts and the court. I would HIGHLY recommend Cantor Law group.Posted on Ayoub AbouriTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Met with Jason for a consultation. He was very honest and upfront. I appreciate the advice and information. I’m very happy I came in and even though I did not hire them I highly recommend them.Posted on Mike LaForestTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. All the attorneys are exceptional and they all work collaboratively on your case. While I worked closely with David, the other attorney's where always up to date and provided unparalleled guidance. Bottom line, they are a cut above and they deliver. You get what you pay for. If it matters, talk to DM Cantor.
