I cannot say enough about Elise Whitley’s representation of me in a challenging child custody matter. Elise was always the most prepared person in the room and she was on top of ever-changing facts and circumstances. She is compassionate with her clients, yet keeps her focus on the legal issues. Her work ethic and knowledge of the law yielded fantastic results in my matter. She is the epitome of a zealous advocate for her clients, and you will not find a better family law attorney in Winston Salem.

My wife and I have decided to get divorced then we each contacted lawyers to represent our sides. I had initial consultation and was given a packet of paperwork to complete. At the subsequent visit Elise went through the process, the pitfalls, the possibilities, and recommended several courses of action and gave me more details and options to consider as well as a clear plan and process for proceeding. I would highly recommend her and her firm.

My unexpected divorce led me to Elise who was compassionate yet firm. She was quick to address all of my concerns and gave me such peace of mind knowing that I had someone who truly understood the law and my rights. She was my backbone when I could barely hold myself together.

I can't thank Elise enough for all she did during my separation and divorce. She was incredibly professional, dedicated, and stood up for me during one of the most vulnerable times of my life. She and her entire team were excellent.

Elise was very helpful throughout the entire separation/divorce process. She was available to answer all my questions in a timely manner. I was confident that she represented my concerns and my situation respectfully and fairly.

I hired Elise to fight for my children that were being abused according to Judge Menefee. I spent $ 20,000.00 in attorneys fees and we only went to court 1 time. I kept complaining that my children were suffering from PAS (parental alienation syndrome) but this was never taken serious. I have not spoken to my 14 year old daughter in over a year. I would email Elise about my complaints and would receive emails from her asking for me to let her know my thoughts in the morning. She was definitely not listening. I would send many emails and phone calls with no response. Elise talks a good game up front to get your retainer, then the billing begins with unwarranted paperwork, and redundant forms. She prepared a court order improperly and had me and my children's mother confused as the Plaintiff and Defendant. When I pushed back and asked her to be more aggressive and fight for my kids, she withdrew from representation even after I was begging for a meeting with her. I would definitely not recommend Elise for any Child Custody case. She could care less about your children, and only the money. Beware of smooth snake oil saleseman.
