Family Attorney | Aug 23
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"I highly recommend this attorney to anyone who is interested in working with a collaborative attorney toward a civil, thoughtful divorce. Elena is considerate and will offer suggestions and guide her clients through the divorce process and child custody issues with integrity, compassion and fairness. Her results allow parties to amicably separate their lives, while being considerate of the children and the other spouse. This sets parties up for navigating the years after the divorce in a way that is respectful, fair and helps any children adjust to the change. Highly recommend her skills for anyone pursuing divorce."
