Top notch attorney

Elika was referred to me by another well respected attorney in town. My divorce case was very long, grueling and complex. At times, I wanted to give up but she encouraged me to stay positive. Her email responses were always in a timely manner. Elika showed deep concern for my case. Given the circumst...ances, along with the unethical opposition, I don't believe another attorney in town could have done a better job. Elika provided a service that was second to none. I highly recommend this attorney.

The Best ever!!!!

I reached out to Elika, after an unfortunate outcome with my previous attorney. Not only was she gracious enough to work with me financially, her passion for what she’s does was beyond anything I could imagine an attorney would be. She was truly and angel sent from above!!!!!

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.

Extremely helpful and amazing!

I was nervous about seeking out an attorney, but Elika helped me feel at ease about my situation. Was very kind and patient while explaining all of the details and always gave great advice. Had great communication and made sure I was always fully in the loop regarding my case. I’d recommend her to a...nyone going through a similar situation!

Elika is AMAZING!

We hired Elika to handle our child custody case. I’ve never spoken to her once where she was not warm and friendly but also completely professional. She always returned phone calls, kept us up to date and gave the best legal advice when needed. She is more than just an attorney, I find her to be some...one who I can trust, actually listens and cares about her clients. She got me through one of the toughest times in my life. I felt very at ease knowing she was working on our behalf. I am very grateful to have found Elika. I would definitely retain her again if need be and I also would highly recommend her to anyone else.

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.
