Biography

Car accidents can turn your life upside down in an instant, leaving you dealing with injuries, medical bills, and insurance companies focused on their bottom line. Gordana fights to protect the rights of accident victims and pursue the compensation they deserve.

Motorcycle accidents often result in serious, life-altering injuries, and riders frequently face unfair bias from insurance companies. Gordana works to make sure motorcyclists get the same fair treatment and full compensation as any other accident victim.

When you're injured because of someone else's negligence, you deserve a strong advocate in your corner. Gordana Mikalacki brings her experience to fight for fair compensation for injured clients across Arizona.

Property owners have a responsibility to keep their premises safe, and when they fail to do so, innocent people get hurt. Gordana represents slip and fall victims in holding negligent property owners accountable.

Accidents involving semi-trucks and commercial vehicles often cause catastrophic injuries and involve complex regulations and multiple liable parties. Gordana investigates every angle to hold trucking companies and drivers accountable for the harm they cause.

Losing a loved one due to someone else's negligence is devastating, and no settlement can undo that loss. Gordana helps grieving families hold responsible parties accountable and secure the financial support they need to move forward.

Gordana "Gordi" Mikalacki is the Founder and Managing Partner of Elmm Law Group, a Phoenix-based firm dedicated exclusively to personal and catastrophic injury cases. With nearly two decades of legal experience, Gordana is your choice if you want a fierce advocate against insurance companies.
