Great team, Great coaching, Great Value.

Great service and great counseling. She was both a fantastic lawyer but also a good coach during a very emotional time. She pushed us away from spending more money than we needed to. Bravo!

Divorce

Mrs. Hitt and her team walked me through the divorce process with compassion and professionalism. They set realistic expectations and explained in detail how the process works. My divorce was handled as quickly as the system allows and there were no surprises. Highly recommend.

Expert Guidance Through a Complex and High-Conflict Divorce

Going through my divorce was one of the most challenging experiences of my life — emotionally, financially, and logistically. It was a high-conflict case filled with unnecessary complications, but Elinor handled every curveball with remarkable poise, intelligence, and strategy. She is everything y...ou hope to find in an attorney: deeply knowledgeable, organized, and unwavering in her integrity. She saw through manipulation and distraction instantly, kept the process grounded in facts, and protected my interests and my children’s well-being every step of the way. Elinor’s combination of professionalism and empathy is rare. She knew when to be fierce and when to be compassionate — and somehow always managed to keep me calm, informed, and empowered even in the most stressful moments. If you’re facing a complex or high-conflict divorce, you need someone like Elinor. She’s sharp, steady, and committed to achieving a fair and lasting outcome. I’m forever grateful to have had her in my corner — and I recommend her without hesitation.

Experienced and a Master of Complex Issues

I turned to Elinor several months into my case, after struggling with a divorce lawyer who was competent but clearly out of her depth. My case was highly contentious, complex, and complicated by many international aspects. Elinor immediately took on a host of urgent time-sensitive discovery motions..., responses to motions, and negotiations with opposing counsel. I was happily surprised to see how quickly she mastered the multi-decade factual chronology (including a number of international financial transactions), and the issues facing us. She was able to develop a clear, practical strategy that gave me confidence. After having been on edge for months, I was finally able to begin to sleep at night. Being a retired lawyer myself, I was pleased to see how well-reasoned her legal arguments were, how incisively she could cut through and call out the non-ending smoke and mirrors that my ex's attorneys kept throwing out. It was satisfying and comforting to see her turn judges around in hearings (and in our mediation sessions). Throughout my case, Elinor welcomed my input and was always focused on practical, effective strategies that ultimately steered my case to a satisfactory resolution. I am now so relieved and happy to have come out to the other side of what could have been a financially disastrous ordeal. I whole-heartedly recommend Elinor.

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.
