The owner of the Law Offices of Elizabeth R. Wellborn confirmed Tuesday that she is closing her Deerfield Beach foreclosure law office after 12 years of litigating creditors' rights.

“We are going to wind this down as quickly as possible,” Elizabeth Wellborn said, adding that the market is gravitating to larger firms. “Small businesses are being squeezed out. We were the largest female one in the country.”

Wellborn said under the advice of her attorneys that she could not give further details. She said she has notified the Florida Bar. The firm's online home page is working, but the links are disabled.
