  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.
