Rock Star

I hired Elana to help me enforce a contractual agreement. I am a attorney and know that the way that Elana managed my case with diligence and expertise is a rare quality among most attorneys. Elana is from here on forward my personal attorney.

Does Not Know What She's Doing

I hired Elena to help recover on a slander / breach of privacy cause of action. Allegedly, she sent out the demand for my case, but I am not sure where to because the defendant corporation later told me that they never received it. And Elena never bothered to follow up to make sure they received it. ...Later, when defendant did not respond to the demand, Elena told me that I have the option of suing in a small claims court. I brought a case is small claims, but the judge told me that defamation cases are not allowed in small claim court, and dismissed my case. I would think that a competent attorney would know proper venue criteria. Finally, Elena was really difficult to get a hold of throughout. I think she is incompetent as an attorney.

Make sure she is on your side.

Elena has for over a decade provided us the very realistic and practical legal advice I have ever received, and I have received a lot in my years. Every case she has worked on for us has turned out in our favor in abundance. She has a tact for getting cases resolved equitably, quickly in our view. ... She has an unassuming presentation that is direct, honest and correct. Most importantly, we trust her.
