Justine A. Elias

We had a situation where a condominium association was harassing us about our service dog. We had provided all of the information they were entitled to and yet they had the association attorney harass us writing letters about how we were wrong, case law, had to attend meetings, provide medical record...s , etc. - We were referred to Justine Mikolaitis who was AWESOME! Not only did she immediately give us outstanding legal advice (which we followed), she thoroughly reviewed the laws, harassment letters, and association rules and then showed up at their "special hearing" and showed them they were outside the law, violating their own association rules as well, and ensured a court reporter was there in case it had to be escalated. This was a terribly stressful time for us and Justine took care of everything and stayed in near-constant contact with us. Her rates were reasonable and she even got the associations' attorney to admit he hadn't even READ the laws for service animals!!! Justine is professional, responsive, aggressive when necessary, conservative when trying to find the best possible solution and tries to act in a way that minimizes litigious activity on the part of either side. She is formidably intelligent and her due diligence saved us having to sue them and end up in court for relief! Thank you Justine!!!

Justine protected us from our condominium association when they tried to deny our service dog from being allowed in our residence. The COA tried to get their attorney to bully us into submitting to their whims. When we hired Justine, she quite literally, embarrassed the other attorney with her know...ledge of case law and federal statutes. From the beginning, she enthusiastically protected our best interests and dived right into the issue at hand, going toe to toe (professionally) with the association. I highly recommend Justine for any animal case law needs you might have.
