Amazing Domestic Violence and Family Law Attorney

Elena is an amazing attorney. She is very professional, knows the law very well, always very clear when explaining where things are, and what the possible outcome could be. She is very caring and fought hard for me and my children. She helped us get to where we are today, protected and safe. That i...s a huge! I highly recommend her to anyone that is unfortunately in a DV or difficult family situation.

Elena knows the law, is smart, sincere and a pleasure to work with

I can’t say it enough about how wonderful Elena was representing me for my domestic violence protection order. After a terrible 6 month experience with a Family law attorney trying to get a protection order, Elena took my case, and she got things done. She knows her case law, knows how to communic...ate effectively written and verbally in hearings, and she won’t back down to bullies. I highly recommend her to anyone, I just wish she could help me with my divorce also.

Incredible Lawyer and Advocate

I cannot recommend Elena Yager enough for DVPO and family law. She is incredibly detail oriented, communicative, supportive, and smart. The DVPO process can be super intimidating and distressing, and Elena is wonderful through the entire process with her calm demeanor, expertise, and advocacy. Thank ...you, Elena!

Elena Yager, lawyer, you are the best

Lawyer Elena Yager, she is a very eloquent, attentive and professional lawyer. I was fortunate to be able to meet her. She successfully helped me and my son obtain a protection order. Courtesy of Elena Yager

Super Advocate Attorney

I was referred to Northwest advocacy due to the nature of my case which is Domestic Violence. I wish i had come to request help sooner in my case. Nonetheless so Greatful that Northwest Advocacy lessened the financial burden attached with Financial costs in getting good legal representation. Elena w...as good at communicating with me on the phone, in person at court and available via email in a timely manner. She helped me with my temporary parenting plan, I’m Grateful that she reminded me of the rights I had as a Mother to my sons and was a very supportive advocate as well as a great lawyer. Again during COVID-19, I requested to have her help me draft a letter, hired her for bundle services. She was helpful and voiced my concerns in a way that i found very overwhelmingly difficult to do on my own. Overall Elena is Organized, Caring, and truly a good Lawyer. I’m Grateful to her and Northwest Advocacy. If you’re thinking about getting help I would say do it right away. Thanks again.

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."
