"I have known Elaine as a lawyer for about 27 years. Initially, my then- partner and I hired Elaine as an associate attorney. She was obviously the best lawyer we ever hired over the course of several attorneys and years. She went on to establish her own practice, and I have stayed in touch for many years, our conversations sometimes involving legal matters and always topics of personal interest. I can't imagine that Elaine has ever failed to be a highly conscientious, competent and trustworthy lawyer. It seemed that the clients of mine that I referred to Elaine for help never wanted to see me again. I'm not kidding. She is special."
