Elena Smolina

I had the opportunity to personally observe the work of attorney Elena Smolina in a family law case. She carefully analyzed each fact, had a very thoughtful and professional approach, and knew how to use all available information in the best interest of her client while fully following the law. Th...e outcome was excellent — both sides were satisfied and reached an agreement. Her ethics, strong legal knowledge and dedication really stood out. I highly recommend Elena Smolina.

I was in the middle of a very stressful custody battle with my ex-husband when a good friend recommended Elena Smolina. I was at the point of giving up, but she came in and completely turned things around. Elena is exceptionally knowledgeable in family law and knew exactly what needed to be done. Des...pite having a very limited amount of time to address critical issues, she made significant progress quickly and efficiently. Her communication with the judge and opposing counsel was clear, confident, and respectful, and her calm demeanor brought me so much reassurance throughout the process. Elena was more than just my attorney, she was a genuine source of support and treated me with the utmost kindness and compassion. She truly cared about my children and our situation, and it showed in everything she did. She maintained constant communication, often checking in just to make sure I was doing okay. I highly recommend Elena to anyone in need of a dedicated, compassionate, and highly skilled family law attorney. When I felt unheard in the courtroom, she became my voice. I will be forever grateful for all she has done for me and my family.

I hired Elena to represent me in family court during my custody battle. She was so empathetic and compassionate to my situation and gave me hope at a time where I was hopeless. She really is such a great lawyer who is so knowledgeable but also goes out of her way to connect with her clients. I’ve kep...t in touch with her over the years and she’s always available. Would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future.

Mrs. Smolina has exhibited a strong understanding of the law, consistently prepares thoroughly, and confidently challenges opposing counsel and the judge when necessary, maintaining a cordial and professional demeanor throughout. Together, we have endured many emotions in this journey in and out of ...court; but most recently, we experienced the passion that Mrs. Smolina has in her commitment and relentless pursuit to ensure that our daughter attain an Order of Protection; which indeed was attained, as she very closely worked with the head of her legal firm (Mrs. Vera Livingstone, Esq.) on evidence collection, review of laws that applied to our case and ensuring that our daughter remain safe and at peace through her interpersonal skills. Mrs. Smolina has treated our daughter not only as a client, but as someone close to her heart and this is something that is priceless and which will keep us faithful & grateful for life.
