Elena Smolina

Elena Smolina was my second San Diego divorce attorney. I wish I hired her sooner. I parted ways with my first attorney who I felt did not care about what was important to me. I was worried the situation will repeat but was pleasantly surprised. Elena took time to listen to me and understand the com...plexities of my case. She was able to help me achieve a compromise and resolve my very difficult divorce, to my satisfaction. Elena was attentive and thorough. I recommend her. She is truly a good attorney, and a genuine woman. She knows the law and has a strong presence. She will fight for you and advocate relentlessly.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the outstanding legal services provided by Elena Smolina and Fair Cadora. From the moment I stepped into their office, I felt reassured and supported during what was undoubtedly one of the most challenging times of my life. Attorney Smolina demonstrated except...ional professionalism, expertise, and compassion throughout the entirety of my child custody case. Their knowledge of family law is unparalleled, and they navigated the complexities of my situation with ease and confidence. Communication was always clear and prompt, ensuring that I was informed and involved every step of the way. Attorney Smolina listened attentively to my concerns, provided sound advice, and devised a strategic plan that ultimately secured a favorable outcome in court. Their dedication to my case went above and beyond my expectations. They were not only my legal representative but also a source of support and encouragement during moments of uncertainty. Thanks to Attorney Smolina, and the rest of the Fair Cadora team, I can now move forward with confidence, knowing that the best interests of my child have been protected. I wholeheartedly recommend Attorney Smolina to anyone in need of expert legal counsel for family law matters. They are truly a five-star attorney in every sense of the word!

My spouse was given sole occupancy of our home after filing for divorce. Then stopped paying the mortgage after insisting to the judge that the payments would not be a problem. 5 months later I was shocked to discover that we were in Pre-Foreclosure resulting from not one single payment being made. ... After several meetings with potential attorneys, I chose Elena to represent me in this fight for my entire life’s savings and equity. She successfully navigated the tricky court system, a newly appointed judge, an extremely uncooperative spouse, and a treacherous timeline when every day was a ticking time bomb on my life. The result? Every judgement and court order made was in my favor. Every deadline became a lifeline. My worst fears put to rest while the stress that could have killed me, was replaced with confidence, competence, and care by a winning legal strategy. Couldn’t be more pleased. Elena, Thank you for attention and dedication to my life and the preservation of my financial investments.
