A great person and a great lawyer

My wife and I had a very bad experience while she was attending Rush university in their nurse anesthesia school. The experience was the worst thing to have happened to her, and by extension, me as well. We ended up filing a lawsuit against the university, and after consulting several people, hired E...laine to represent us. We simply cannot say enough good things about Elaine. Rush had their huge blue-chip firm and we had only Elaine and her one or two assistants. Yet, Elaine went toe to toe with them. She battled and she cared. It was a brutally difficult case, and in the end we did not win. But even so, my wife and I still feel that getting to know Elaine was a positive that came out of the whole nightmare. We spoke to many, many people over the several years that this lawsuit ran its course. We even hired one attorney who was truly a nightmare to work with. We knew these types were out there, but this person was unfriendly, unprofessional, and incredibally stressful to work with. Then we got a recommendation to contact Elaine. From the getgo, she was warm, friendly, and it was abundantly clear that she cared. Unlike our previous consult, she was not out to get every ounce of money out of us that she possibly could. She simply cared. Her firm is very small -- but this means you will get very personal service. If you email her, she will email you back (again, not at all like our previous attorney). Talk to Elaine - and you will see what we mean.

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.
