Suspended from practicing law; kept retainer!

What a crook! She failed to finish the work she was hired for, because she was suspended from practicing law! On top of that, she is trying to keep thousands of dollars which were the unused portion of the retainer. Stay far, far away from this crook!

Be aware of this lawyer

The worst advice I ever received was to hire this firm! Always in a hurry,asked same guestions over and over! Bragged how good she was !Made numerous mistakes especially on settlement documents blamed her secretary. Submitted documents without approval ! Charged major dollars!! Would never recommen...d her to anyone,we made a major mistake and terminated our relationship with her and moved on !!!!

Best custody attorney around

I am a father who has been going back and forth through the legal system for years trying to gain more custody of my son. I have tried many attorneys and they were never able to get me anywhere. From the beginning things were different with Attorney Waldron, she told me what she was going to do and d...id it. Attorney Waldron not only made me feel very comfortable but did not hesitate to fight for what was in the best interest of my son. She is incredibly smart, and fearless doesn't begin to describe her. I went from being the partial custodian to being the primary custodian and having my case relocated in one hearing. If you need an attorney that is fearless and will follow through you should certainly hire this attorney.

Child Custody Representation

I am so blessed that I was referred to Elissa. Her Professionalism and compassion for her clients is second to none. She represented me in a custody trial and her preparation and knowledge of the law is truly amazing to watch. In life there are 2 things that you need to have the best of, doctors an...d lawyers, She is truly the best. You will not be disappointed. Elissa stayed in contact with me throughout my whole case, showing genuine concern for me, not just as a client, but as person, a parent, a friend. She has changed my life in winning my case and keeping my children with me. I believe none of this would have been possible without her. The best in her field. There is nobody else remotely close to being on her level, trust me, I have seen many attorneys. I knew the minute I met her that I was in good hands and she backed it up in the courtroom. The bottom line is, what do we really expect or hope we will receive from an attorney, one thing, RESULTS, with Elissa, that's what you will get. My children are my life, as I'm sure yours are also. When you hire an attorney, you are putting that in their hands, can you imagine that? Trusting someone to prepare, know the law, and get the results that enable you to be able to have a "quality of life", as a family, with your children. I would trust no other, period. Go meet Elissa, you will not be disappointed, I can't thank her enough.
