Meet Elizabeth C. Sears, Esq.

Meet Elizabeth Sears

Elizabeth Sears is a California attorney based in Markleeville serving clients across Northern California, the East Bay and the Sierra region. She is known for straight talk, careful listening and responsive communication. Before law school, Elizabeth owned a daycare for 15 years, building the patience and people skills she now brings to every matter. Today, clients value that calls go to the attorney and that explanations make sense whether you are in downtown Oakland, El Dorado Hills or right here in Alpine County.

Why Focus On Estate Planning

After losing her husband without a proper trust in place, Elizabeth experienced the probate process from the family side. That shaped her commitment to planning that keeps loved ones out of court and honors wishes with clarity. Many married clients choose a joint trust, and Elizabeth walks couples through decisions about guardians, trustees and property held in different counties.



Within this work, she collaborates with families who want to update documents after buying or selling property, welcoming a child or moving from the Bay Area to the Sierra. The goal is always a plan that fits real life rather than a stack of forms.

Experience Across Key Practice Areas

Elizabeth Sears Law supports clients with personal injury matters involving car and motorcycle accidents and with real estate law for residential and commercial transactions, leases and select disputes. Her background includes time at a mass tort firm, hands-on property investment and advising landlords and small business owners.
