She was great

My case involved a very difficult ex with outrageous demands and Elika got me a settlement much better than expected. She was very helpful and easy to contact. I would definitely recommend her!

Posted by Angel | March 28, 2024 | Hired Attorney

Professional and AMAZING!

Was very helpful! Always there to answer any questions I had. Had my back every step of the process, and with bumps and curves down this road was able to get over any objection and I’m super thankful for everything she has done! Deff. Got the job done and very professional and not to mention amazing ...on the pricing and very understanding and helpful! If I could give 10 stars I would. THANK YOU ELIKA

Divorce Settlement

Elika is the absolute best!! She was always available to answer all of my questions and even provided emotional support during this difficult process. She helped me reach a good divorce settlement. I highly recommend her services and would not hesitate to use her again in the future.

Collins

This lawyer was a blessing to us. She was knowledgeable and took time explaining everything. She took time to get to know us and being a gay couple treated us both as parents and worked very hard for us. I am thankful to say our son is back home with us and is very happy.

Very helpful, informative and just all around outstanding attorney

I found Elika here on avvo and she was hired to help with a case I filed for contempt on a divorce decree it was a little different of a case but Elika handled everything amazing she was always available when we needed to talk to her and she informed us of everything through the entire process if I e...ver had to do something like this again she would be the one I would call or even recommend and in the end we of course won our case thanks to Elika.

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.
