Relationship: Worked together on matter
"Elan and I met when we both were deputies at the Humboldt County DA's office. When she decided to leave the DA's office, it was an obvious choice to have her join my firm as a partner. Elan is dedicated, honest and an excellent trial lawyer. Since entering civil practice, Elan I have worked together on numerous matters. I am proud to call her my law partner and would unhesitatingly recommend her to anyone seeking a lawyer."
