Dischell Bartle Dooley’s Mark B. Dischell, the firm’s founder, and partner Elizabeth J. Billies have once again earned recognition from The Best Lawyers in America for their outstanding work in family law. Both have been named to the 2026 edition of The Best Lawyers in America, the nation’s most respected guide to legal excellence.

This honor reflects not only their legal skill but also their dedication to providing exceptional counsel and achieving the best possible outcomes for clients.

Dischell has been recognized by his peers as a Best Lawyer every year since 1995 — a testament to his enduring excellence in the field. With more than four decades of experience, he is known for guiding clients through complex divorce, support, child custody, property distribution, and grandparents’ rights matters, all while fostering long-standing relationships with the families he serves.

Billies receives this honor for the third consecutive year, reflecting her reputation as a skilled and compassionate advocate. She practices all aspects of family law, including pre- and post-nuptial agreements, divorce, equitable distribution, custody, and support matters. Her clients value her meticulous attention to detail and ability to resolve matters efficiently, whether through litigation or settlement.

Dischell and Billies also provide alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services — Dischell as an arbitrator and Billies as a mediator — offering clients collaborative and cost-effective solutions to challenging family law matters.

Best Lawyers has been the definitive guide to legal excellence since 1983, with selection based solely on peer review. Inclusion represents the highest level of respect within the legal community.
