ELIZABETH
P. COUGHTER has been practicing law in Charlottesville
since 1983 when she moved here from Richmond to accept a position
with Michie Hamlett. She started her legal career as a law
clerk for the Virginia Supreme Court before entering the practice
of law in the areas of family law and personal injury litigation.
Her trial work has included a variety of civil matters including
medical negligence cases, contested divorce and custody cases,
employment litigation, collegiate honor trial cases and automobile
accident cases. Today she focuses her practice on family law
matters, including litigated divorce and custody cases. She
has spoken on a variety of legal topics to statewide and national
audiences and authored articles on those topics. Mrs. Coughter
brings to her professional career the perspective of being
the wife of Jeffrey P. Coughter, Jr. and the mother of their
three children. Her son, Pierce, is a recent graduate from
the University of Virginia. Eliza, the middle child, is a
division one Lacrosse player at Longwood University, and the
Coughters’ youngest daughter, Harding, is enjoying her
matriculation at Charlottesville High School. In her free
time, Elizabeth knits more sweaters than she can wear, and
sips wine on the dock of the Chesapeake Bay at her family’s
cottage in Deltaville, Virginia.
