Maybe was a bad day for her, but one can do alot better. First strike was a set price was negotiated for a conference, then 2 weeks later billed for more money under guise of contract I had signed. A person is only as good as their word, and when price was negotiated it was just that, a price, not ...a retainer. Second strike was opposing male council was rather pushy and she was definitely intimidated by him. Third strike was during review of agreement paperwork made by court officers there was an error in the terminology used and I was the one that caught it before signing, not her. So I am at a loss of what I actually paid her for at this point. I emailed her questioning the charges as they were not what we agreed to, gave her time to send my check back in good faith, but she chose to cash it hence this review. YMMV, but better to shop around some more.

I am very satisfied with the representation I received from Elissa and her staff from the initial consultation until the divorce was finalized. I was counseled on various strategies and options, then advised of the most probable outcomes of each, allowing me to make what I believe were informed choic...es on how I wanted to proceed through each step in the divorce. Elissa’s staff kept me well informed, through emails and phone calls, of the status of each filing and procedure. I feel very strongly that Elissa had my best interests as her priority in the divorce not her billed hours as has been my experience with attorneys in the past. I received, for the first time from an attorney, a sizable refund from my escrow account reinforcing that Elissa is concerned about her clients, not their purses. I was charged a very reasonable fee for the entire process. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Elissa and her staff to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, ethical, and compassionate attorney.
