Thank you!

The whole divorce process is never easy and in my case it was harder than normal. I am so glad someone recommended Elisse. Someone told me Elisse was a great communicator, extremely knowledgeable, and highly organized. She was absolutely right. Elisse is that and more. I only wish I had hire Elisse f...rom the beginning. Usually, attorneys do not like to take over a case but luckily, Elisse made and exception and accepted to take over my case. My case was a huge mess (that happens when you hire a lawyer that doesn't do his job), Elisse worked really hard to clear all the mess and saw my case through the end. She was very patient with me, she always took the time to keep me informed, and she always made it a point to answer all my questions and concerns. If you have children, she is an absolute best. As adults divorce awakes many feelings in us that sometimes make us blind to what's most important, our children. Elisse will always advise you on what's in the best interest of your children. I can't go back in time and alter events but I am very thankful that in the end I found an honest, professional, hardworking, intelligent, and all around very talented lawyer.

Great Family Attorney!

When I was served divorce papers earlier this year, I went into an immediate panic. I had no idea what to do. I didn’t’ know any family attorneys, I had never needed a lawyer before. I’m so grateful I called Elisse. She took care of everything, made it simple, easy to understand and most of all made ...me feel like I had someone on my side looking out for me the whole way through. I really feel like the reason I was able to tell the judge that I believed the entire settlement, the child support, the visitation rights, everything about the divorce was fair and equitable was because I had a great divorce lawyer looking out for me. Thanks, Elisse!

"I referred Elisse an EXTREMELY difficult case from Michigan that was an administrative and procedural nightmare. The case had an issue that stumped many attorneys on AVVO and in my local bar associations. The case required a great deal of creative thinking and persistence to be solved. The client was a family member, so I had a vested interest in seeing the matter to a favorable conclusion. THANK GOD, we found Elisse. She was creative, persistent, and diligent in getting the matter resolved. The client was ecstatic with the results. Moreover, her fees for the handling were very reasonable. Elisse is, without a doubt, a top notch attorney."
