Posted by Rowan | May 03, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

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.

Unknown lawyer | Jan 24

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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
