After an emotional decision I offered to my wife am uncontested divorce. After an Internet research for a local attorney to facilitate this I discover Ms. Smith-Koop. Unfortunately my wife took her own action and filed. I kept my appointment with Ms. Smith-Koop. I will attest that I was completely distraught. Not only did she walk me throught all my options she kind and presented me the facts. My position was to be fair and reasonable to my wife. Ms. Smith-Koop provided all the resources necessary to accomplish this goal. During the process I discovered her knowledge of not only all the laws but also of the system, attorneys, judges and courts. I would highly recommend her to represent anyone for a fair and satisfactory result.

Elaine represented me in a difficult paternity case. My case was challenging to say the least and I was fairly doubtful of my chances at winning. Most of the feedback/opinion I received from other attorneys in Elaine's area of expertise (paternity) wasn't too optimistic. Elaine was the only one who truly gave me hope and her feedback/opinion on my case was more knowledgeable of the law than some of the other attorney's feedback whose rates were much higher than Elaine's. Elaine is a skilled professional who is highly knowledgeable and very competent in the area of paternity and family law. Elaine and her legal staff helped me win a very difficult paternity case and both their experience and competence are admirable.  I am very happy with the outcome of my case and the services provided. Given my overall experience with Elaine, I would highly recommend Elaine and her staff to represent you if are looking for an attorney that truly knows and skillfully practices the law!!

I hired Elaine for custody/parenting plan. She called my daughter the wrong name twice. She failed to communicate in a timely manner, with me and the opposing attorney. She seemed to be unconcerned or forgetful about my daughter's safety and mine as well. Overall experience was very unsatisfactory.
