Eleanor Marie Couto

I retained this Attorney for a divorce. She charged me a LOT of money and in the end I had to fire her, and completed my divorce myself. She LIED in court. I had to keep giving her paperwork because she kept loosing it. She did NOT listen to what happened and TOTALLY misrepresented me. She told ...me in court to SHUT UP. She provoked my now former spouse over and over again, to make us continue to go back to court more times than were necessary. Which drives the cost up for me HER CLIENT. She did NOT keep me informed as to when court dates were changed or postponed, I went to court a few times just to find out it had been postponed. While she was representing me I was loosing in my battle, once I fired her I came out ahead and a LOT more fare of a conclusion. While she represented me the divorce drug out for TWO YEARS, after I fired her, it was resolved within a couple months of my former spouse and I working out the details ourselves. Please don't waste your time and money on this attorney.

It really depends on if you women are drug users, drinkers, or lousy moms. Elle has zero tolerance for sustance abuse. We went for 3rd party custody because my granddaughter was being left at drug houses. Elle knows her stuff and what the judge needs to feel comfortable moving that child. Shes smar...t, well liked, and runs a tight ship. Very professional.

From my experience with her she is absolutely the worst attorney i have ever employed, do not trust this person! she will never do anything you ask of her, she wont follow through with things she discusses with you. She wont file motions and this is in no way anyone you want working on your family co...urt case.
