Elaine Smith

Elaine handled my case since 2007 through 2009. She did excellent job. I just came back to consult her on a different issue. My case was very complicated, and she did the best possible in my case. You can trust her. She has outstanding knowledge and experience in all the areas: divorce, cu...stody, support, alimony.

I was a stay at home mom and taking evening classes when my marriage of almost 7 years dissolved. I had no leverage and my ex had no mercy. He wanted me out of the marital house, to offer almost no financial support, and to take my young children to his new girlfriend's because I was the one who aske...d for an end to a painful relationship. I was in dire situation. Unfortunately, I had to endure a lot of heartache so I could finish my courses, clear my head of the emotional whirlwind, and gather some funds from family before I began an earnest search for a lawyer. It took me over a month of interviewing and meeting different lawyers before I found Elaine. After only a phone conversation about the details of the case, I was convinced she was the one would could represent me with compassion, turn my case around, and do it efficiently. Over the course of a month and a half she prepared me as my ex filed a trumped up PFA and continued to refuse to negotiate. She suggested filing for interim counsel fees and alimony pendite lite. The strategy worked! He settled on the day of the hearing for interim counsel fees and Elaine came prepared to draft a settlement for marital assets, alimony, counsel fees and custody. What a relief! The ordeal is almost over. Thank you Elaine. Your staff was first rate as well. I only wished I had found you earlier! You really can't skimp for a lawyer especially when your future with your children are on the line.

Ms. Smith performed with knowledge, expertise, insight and experience, to resolve a difficult child custody dispute. She cared for me as her client, but her primary interest was always the welfare of the child. I am grateful for her integrity and the result of a long, arduous, emotionally draining ...court experience, which was resolved to my entire satisfaction.

Atty. Smith is extremely knowledgeable, thorough and has excellent negotiating skills. She is extremely capable and she has gotten me excellent results! I truly saw her do things and maneuver her position through the court system as I never thought a lawyer could do. Google her and after 31 pages her... name finally tapers off...now that's telling something about her reputation... Besides the Child Custody matter she also handled my Divorce...although only one choice was able to be picked from the task bar in the review.
