Elena Smolina

I had an outstanding experience with Family Law Attorney Elena Smolina. She guided me step-by-step to prepare for my custody and child support hearings, and her calm, strategic approach made a stressful process feel manageable. Elena also connected me with an excellent paralegal who prepared all of m...y documents and filings accurately and at a very reasonable cost. She’s responsive, organized, and truly advocates for her clients. If you’re going through a divorce or dealing with family law issues, I highly recommend Elena.

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.

If you’re going through a high-conflict divorce—don’t walk, RUN to Elena Smolina. My divorce was an absolute dumpster fire. Three years of emotional warfare, custody battles, financial games, and five different attorneys—two of whom came from highly reputable firms that made big promises and dropp...ed the ball when it really counted. Most firms will treat you like a case file, give you attention up front, and then vanish when the pressure’s on. That was my story… until I found Elena. I wish I had Elena Smolina from the very beginning. Do yourself a favor and don’t make the mistake I did. Skip the expensive disappointment and just hire her. Elena actually cares. She listens. She’s passionate about getting justice for you, not just closing another case. She remembered my birthday. She texted me Happy Mother’s Day when even my own brother didn’t. She treats you like a human being—and fights for you like family. This case was destined for trial. My ex wasn’t budging, and the issues were deep and layered. But in just four months with Elena, we were able to settle—and settle good. That’s because she knows how to communicate with mediators and judges in a way that truly lands. She’s able to take what clients struggle to articulate and frame it powerfully, persuasively, and with compassion. Bottom line: Elena changed the outcome of my life. You only need one attorney, and her name is Elena Smolina.

I wholeheartedly endorse Ms. Smolina's legal expertise and unwavering dedication to her clients. Throughout my case, she consistently prioritized my child's best interests while also demonstrating genuine empathy and understanding towards my own concerns. Her strategic approach in court secured a fav...orable outcome that exceeded my expectations. I am incredibly grateful for her tireless efforts and highly recommend her services to anyone seeking capable and compassionate legal representation.
