Skillfully obtained the best possible outcome, gave 110% every step of the way

Elissa represented me in a complex drug case, skillfully obtaining the best possible outcome. At all times, I felt as though she provided me with truly outstanding representation, whether it be in the courtroom, interacting with the police, or negotiating with prosecutors. I was particularly impres...sed with her ability to adapt, in real time, to various situations that arose during my case. This was my first, and hopefully last, experience with the criminal justice system, and Elissa far exceeded my expectations. She patiently explained both the process and our options every step of the way. I never felt "alone" in the "system".

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
