South Carolina Lawyers Weekly has honored Elizabeth Smith Owen, a partner with Morton & Gettys law firm in Rock Hill, with its Leadership in Law Award. The annual honor recognizes attorneys who go above and beyond in serving the profession and the community.
The selection process begins with a nomination from a fellow attorney. An independent panel of legal professionals then evaluates and scores each nominee. This year, 29 attorneys around the state were selected to receive the recognition.
Elizabeth is an experienced divorce lawyer skilled at representing clients in issues such as child custody, child support, alimony and spousal support, visitation, adoption, and prenuptial agreements.
Outside of her practice, Elizabeth has served the broader community.
