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.

An ace of an attorney

I have known attorney Elena for a very long time, since she was a student at Fordham Law School. I have witnessed her growth academically and professionally over the years and I was thrilled when she decided to start Multi-Jurisdictional Divorce and offer divorce services. Her commitment to stand fi...rm and never give up along with her dedication to helping others is truly inspiring. I have seen firsthand the positive impact she has had on so many people's lives. Elena is a truly amazing attorney whether you are in a divorce or custody battle you can always count on her. I couldn’t recommend MJL Divorce and attorney Elena more highly

Outstanding Legal Representation

Elena Giannattasio has been representing me in a highly contested divorce and custody battle since 2019. When I first filed for divorce in Manhattan, she stepped in and negotiated a comprehensive resolution after my prior attorney had failed. After moving to California, Elena continued to defend ...me against a change of custody case filed by my ex in 2021 and 2022 in both California and New York courts. Elena is exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate about her work. She genuinely cares for her clients and makes the complex world of family law easier to navigate. Her explanations are clear and accessible, providing much-needed support during challenging times. Elena’s availability and prompt responses made the process seamless, even under tight deadlines. Throughout my custody case, she showcased her legal expertise and showed high sensitivity to the emotional aspects involved. She consistently kept me informed, ensuring I was aware of all developments. Her skillful representation successfully transferred jurisdiction over our custody case, demonstrating her dedication and expertise. Her efforts restored my faith in the justice system. I highly recommend Elena Giannattasio to anyone going through a divorce or custody procedure. She is a remarkable attorney who will fight for you as if it were her battle, showing a level of personal commitment that is truly rare.

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."
