Posted by anonymous | February 24, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

A truly professional caring person

My divorced was absolutely the worst experience I have ever gone through. It started out bad and went straight to terrifying. I have little to any legal knowledge and was spinning out of control. I hired Elena and her team and instantly felt better. The divorce went on what seemed like forever but e...ach time I was attacked by my exwife using the court as a weapon Elena took control. She explained what was happening, and more importantly why it was happening. She knew all the games and tricks opposing counsel was doing. Some of the things that happened were my fault. Elena sat me down and in straight talk told me where I went wrong and how not to do it again. She also with every problem we confronted had a solution and helping direction. Sometimes I needed a slap in the face and others I needed to be talked off the ledge. In the court room is where Elena really shows you her determination and expertise. She is a fighter and uses the law to back up everything she says. I was always extremely comforted and proud to have her on my side. Elena is a good caring person that understands her clients are people too. Words could not express my appreciation for all of her hard work. I would truly reccomend her to anyone needing help. Like myself you may be a better person for the experience.
