The best & most dedicated attorney you’ll ever find!

Elissa Perkins is beyond a wonderful, smart and amazing attorney! She was appointed to me during my very complicated and difficult divorce and child custody case. I am a single mother with a young five year old boy which whom I was very concerned about and was seeking supervised visitation with his f...ather. Without the help of DCPP, Elissa was my only hope. Elissa spent an incredible amount of time and put her entire heart into my case. She had so much sympathy and love because she is a mother herself. She went above and beyond for my son and I in order to fight for his safety and protection and what was right. She spent over a whopping 130 hours on my case. Elissa worked day and night. She was able to collect ground breaking evidence and go over my case. She is extremely smart and hard working. She has more patience than anyone I know. My ex husband made a fight about everything and stalled the process by not answering my complaint for divorce but Elissa made the process go quickly from the date of my complaint. My son and I were victims of violence but now because of her I can look into my sons eyes and see happiness and joy, without any pain or fear. Because of Elissa my son can now enjoy his childhood and be a happy little boy. I don’t have to see him cry before and after visitations anymore. I don’t have to see horrific bruises or marks on my son. No more emergency room visits. My baby boy doesn’t have to suffer or be any further traumatized. My little boy can finally live his life and childhood in peace and harmony. This is all I ever wanted for him. Elissa worked so hard and because of her I was granted my request for supervised visitation. Because of Elissa Perkins I finally have everything I always dreamed of. She did not just finalize my divorce or help me get supervised visitation, she gave me and my son our lives back. My heart is beyond full and I owe Elissa my life for that. That is what she gave us, our lives back. For that I will be forever grateful and I have a life long friend. Whichever your situation is, you can trust that Elissa will always take care of you!

Nothing but AMAZING things to say....

I am very happy with the services I received from Elissa. From the beginning to the end Elissa was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Elissa smoothly navigated a complex interstate custody matter that involved parties in numerous states. Elissa works with a sense of urgency, while simultaneou...sly delivering impeccable results. Whenever I called with a question or concern, Elissa was happy to talk to me. If on the rare occasion I was unable to reach Elissa, she always returned my calls promptly. My matter was resolved successfully and I could not have asked for a better experience. I would retain Elissa again if needed in the future and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a family law attorney,

Elissa was a fabulous lawyer. She was caring, professional, reliable and punctual. She always answered my questions in a timely manner and was willing to help me in any way that she could. She will be retained again if needed. I recommend her to anyone going through the difficult process of divor...ce.

Fantastic.

Elissa was professional, knowledgable, and communicative to work with. She handled a delicate situation with diplomacy and grace and would be retained again in the unfortunate circumstance that her services were required again. 5/5 stars.
