Most of my work is divorce and family law. I also handle estate planning and elder law,
which tend to matter to the same families over time.
Primary Focus
Divorce & Family Law
Most of my practice is divorce and custody work. These cases touch your finances, your home, and your time with your kids, so I handle them myself and keep you in the loop as things move along.
A will, a power of attorney, and a healthcare directive spare your family a lot of guesswork later. I draft these Kansas documents so they say what you want them to say.
Questions about aging tend to mix law, medicine, and money. Before law school I worked in health information management, so I'm comfortable on the medical side of these issues as well as the legal one.
I'm Elizabeth “Liz” Brey, JD, a Kansas-licensed attorney and the founder of Brey Law, LLC. Most of my work
is divorce and family law, and I also help families with estate planning and elder law here in Northeast Kansas.
Law is a second career for me. For more than thirty years I worked in health information management —
including over a decade directing the medical coding program at Highland Community College, and contributing
a chapter to a national coding textbook along the way. I hold a bachelor's degree from Kansas State University,
with an emphasis in rural society, and earned my law degree at Washburn University School of Law. That background
is part of why elder and healthcare law come naturally to me, and it taught me how to take something complicated
and put it in plain terms.
I'm a sixth-generation Kansan and a Fairview native. I grew up here, graduated from Sabetha High School,
and today my husband Roger and I live on our family's farm near Fairview. Our twins, Nicole and Nolan, are
grown, and we have two grandchildren nearby. I've stayed rooted in the community over the years — from leading
a Girl Scout troop to serving on our township's cemetery board. When I'm not meeting with clients, you'll usually
find me in the garden, keeping up with Jayhawks basketball, or out with Ziggy, our Cavapoo.

Yes — divorce and family law are the core of my practice. I handle Kansas divorce cases for clients both with and without minor children, including child custody, parenting plans, child support, spousal support, and property division.
Estate planning covers wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives that protect your family and ensure your wishes are carried out. Most adults benefit from having at least a basic estate plan in place — regardless of the size of their estate.
