Phenomenal attorney

Elinor represented me in a very difficult and complex custody case. I cannot recommend anyone any higher. She was always thoroughly prepared and was stellar in the courtroom. Her whole team performed at the highest possible level and I was thrilled with the outcome. She is also a compassionate advoca...te but is tenacious in the courtroom. By far the best tattoo have ever worked with.

Outstanding Legal Representation for Family Law Issues...

I am delighted to recommend Elinor Hitt and KLHF for family law. When served with Divorce papers I had no idea what to do next… no clue which attorney to seek out. Elinor was recommended by multiple friends and I reached out immediately. Elinor and her team jumped right into my divorce proces...s without missing a beat. During a very challenging and emotional time, Elinor and her team stayed in contact, responded quickly and offered sound (and timely) advice – whether I wanted to hear it or not. Her experience, approach and compassion were amazing. While Elinor has a soft and caring demeanor, she knew when to raise the temperature of the negotiations. She is flexible but doesn’t put up with nonsense. I feel that Elinor got me a fair settlement despite a lot of back and forth from the other side. Amanda and Betsy were amazing in support of the case and Elinor in general. While no one wants to go through a divorce, if you find yourself there, I highly recommend Elinor and KLHF family law.

Professional and patient

Elinor Hitt has been an excellent lawyer. Divorces are a time when people are at their lowest point, and Ms. Hitt was almost like a therapist along the way. She was patient and kind and could explain complicated concepts so that they were easy to understand. She fights for your best interests and lis...tens to your requests. Highly recommend!

CFO

Elinor was so helpful for me in drafting my prenuptial agreement. She really worked on my behalf and gave me several perspectives to think through. There are a few issues I would have missed had she not been involved. She was also very efficient. She didn't try to raise issues just for the sake o...f argument and really helped me work towards a quick resolution on a very touchy subject.

Fantastic and compassionate

Elinor handled my divorce case with the upmost care and compassion. It was a complicated case with a child and lots of marital assets and she made sure I was fully in the loop with each step of the process. Fortunately, we were able to reconcile and not have to move forward with the divorce, however... I strongly recommend her for any family law matter.

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.
