Elaine is an active member of NACBA and a very experienced bankruptcy lawyer who has the respect of her colleagues and of the judges before whom she appears. Elaine prepares hers cases thoroughly and is not afraid to stand up to the trustees, mortgage companies, and other people who seek to derail bankruptcy cases.

I have worked with Elaine on a few cases where our practice areas overlapped and have been very happy with her work. It is clear that she is very knowledgeable about the details of bankruptcy laws and how best to guide and protect her clients. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone who finds themselves in difficulties with their debts. She does not just rush you into bankruptcy, she truly counsels and investigates all the issues to make sure that you are making the right decision for you.
