Elena Quinde

I hired Elena for an extremely complicated divorce. Without going into too much personal detail here, my ex as good as told me that he would try to cheat the system and boy did he try. He didn’t want to turn over documents. He tried to conceal assets. He moved money around. But Elena and her staff we...re so thorough and so on top of it though. They called him out every step of the way. They subpoenaed bank records. By the time we got to trial, even his own attorney looked like he had enough. Elena is tough but fair. She is not going to tell you what you want to hear. She is going to tell you what you need to hear. And ultimately her advice and skill are priceless. It took over a year, and it was not easy, but the outcome far exceeded my expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend Ms. Quinde to anyone needing representation.

I've had to retain legal counsel on more than one occasion, and I must say that this was the best experience yet. Ms. Quinde's legal prowess is matched only by her professionalism and genuine concern for you and your case. Without divulging any sensitive details of my own recent case, suffice it to... say that it was a problematic one, so much so that two other lawyers declined it before Ms. Quinde accepted it. Ms. Quinde is a smart, tenacious lawyer, and most important of all, gets the results you need. I highly recommend her.

Review of Legal Services Provided by Attorney Elena Quinde Context and Services Sought: I engaged Elena Quinde for legal services during a challenging divorce proceeding. Communication and Transparency: My experience was marked by a lack of transparency, especially regarding financial matters. ...My retainer was exhausted twice without prior notice or the ability to review a statement, which added to the stress and uncertainty of the process. Advice and Strategy: Elena advised against making necessary financial changes during the divorce, even when my ex-partner's spending was creating significant debt. I found this advice counterproductive, as it hindered my ability to maintain a stable financial situation. Professional Competence: The initial divorce settlement draft I received was disappointing. It was delivered with minimal prior communication, contained numerous spelling errors, and seemed unrelated to the specifics of my case. This raised concerns about the level of attention and customization being applied to my situation. Approach to Conflict Resolution: Elena frequently suggested that I discuss and resolve complex issues directly with my ex-partner. Given the high-conflict nature of our relationship, I expressed that this was unfeasible and potentially harmful, especially in the presence of our children. However, this perspective was not acknowledged or incorporated into the strategy. Client-Attorney Relationship: Ultimately, my relationship with Elena Quinde ended abruptly when I questioned the approach being taken. This termination, while sudden, led to a more favorable turn of events in my case. Outcome: After parting ways with Elena, I was able to enter mediation, a step I had initially requested but was not pursued. The mediation process was more aligned with my goals and led to a satisfactory resolution. Conclusion: Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Elena Quinde’s services. The approach taken did not align with my needs or the specifics of my case, and the lack of effective communication and strategic alignment was a major concern. It is essential for an attorney to tailor their approach to the unique dynamics of each case and client, which I felt was lacking in this instance.

Hired to take care of a legitimation petition .. All good in the beginning then a sudden 360, thought she was working for the opposite party, not us..
