Multi-Jurisdictional Divorce’s review

I have worked with Multi-Jurisdictional Divorce for about five years. They are very understanding and compassionate to your needs during difficult times. Elena and her team’s commitment to serving the community, and the empathy they offer in what can be a challenging time for their clients, are unm...atched. I would recommend Multi-Jurisdictional Divorce to anyone looking for an attorney.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"As a litigator and divorce mediator, I’ve had the chance to observe many attorneys, but Elena Giannattasio truly stands out. She has an incredible grasp of family law, especially when it comes to custody issues, and she’s one of the few who can expertly handle the complexities of international custodial cases. Elena is not just smart and knowledgeable; she’s one of the hardest working people I know. She’s honest, relentless in her pursuit of justice, and always puts her clients first. When things get tough, you want Elena in your corner—she’s a fierce advocate who doesn’t back down. I’ve seen how much of an asset Elena is to any team she’s on. If I were building a team, she’d be at the top of my list. I can’t recommend her highly enough."
