Brilliant representation

I came to Elena for representation during my recent divorce. She wasted no time in getting down to business. She provided clear answers to my myriad questions, helped me untangle and make sense of the process and the jargon, and always made sure that I was protected and fully aware of each step. On... top of that, she proved to be incredibly kind and empathetic. She was earnest and sincere in her understanding of the emotional rollercoaster involved. I always felt that she truly had my and my kids' best interest at heart, every step of the way.

Competent, kind, compassionate

I needed legal representation in my divorce and was very lucky to find Elena and Northwest Advocacy Foundation. Years of financial abuse left me few options, and I felt bewildered by the legal processes before me while recovering from deep trauma. Elena was compassionate and also straightforward abou...t my options and obligations. She was communicative and kept my case moving forward in a timely manner. The payment options made it possible for me to hire her, even living with a very low income. I don't know what I would have done without her. Thank you Elena. I highly recommend Northwest Advocacy Foundation.

An Excellent Attorney

I hired Elena as my attorney twice, first to obtain a domestic violence protection order and again a year later to renew the order. I would have quickly hired her a third time to establish a parenting plan, but unfortunately the dates of my trial conflicted with her schedule. My experience with Ele...na was nothing short of excellent, and I would quickly recommend her to anyone looking for a family law attorney. She is attentive, thoughtful, thorough, efficient, punctual, prompt, and communicates well--all great qualities for an attorney! Elena answered all of my questions in a way that I could understand, addressed my concerns promptly, and guided me through a tough and emotional process. She explained to me what my options were and offered her expert opinion. Elena was always prepared with her notes and action plan for my case while allowing me to have a high level of involvement. When I met with Elena a year later to renew an order, I was impressed that she remembered all of the details of my case. During one meeting to prepare a response, I walked into the office and Elena was set-up ready to go: she had copies for me to read, her copies with notes already written from her review, her laptop ready to type the response, and coffee for the both of us! Elena is excellent, and I highly recommend her.

Elena is my hero.

I retained Elena as my attorney to help me obtain a domestic violence protection order against my ex-boyfriend. In a particularly traumatic time for me, Elena lessened my stress and legal burden. She made me feel heard, valued, and important. Elena explained everything to me every step of the way. We... were successful in getting the protection order and I am safe because of her help. I would recommend her to anyone. What an amazing organization.

An Amazing Attorney

I don't even know where to start with how great she is. She worked so hard and efficiently on my case. She made me feel more confident and safe knowing that she was doing everything she could to make my case go as smoothly as it could. She is very smart, efficient, and genuinely an all and all good... person. I couldn't have done this without her by my side. My children and I are forever grateful. I would recommend Elena to everyone that needs a great, dependable, and hard working attorney on your side.

Relationship: Co-worker

"Elena and I met in law school, and thereafter, we co-founded a nonprofit, serving low- to moderate-income folks who are often all but denied access to our legal system. This is so clearly Elena’s passion, as is evidenced by her remarkable courtroom presence. Elena is a dedicated and tireless advocate for her clients, and I endorse her wholeheartedly."
