Critical: Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Elaine is overpriced for the quality of work. She did not communicate with myself and the opposing attorney in a timely manner. She called my daughter by the wrong name twice. The safety of my daughter and myself were a low priority to her. When asked about the quality of her work she gave weak, personal reasons. Very unhappy 😡

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
I called Elaine for a consult and she was so helpful. She answered all my questions and provided me with information needed to file time-sensitive court documents myself. If I need to retain an attorney in the near future, I am confident in her ability to represent me.
