Elissa made my experience very comfortable, she was patient and understanding and very knowledgable. I was very embarrassed and stressed when I came to her. I can't thank her enough for all her help!!! I highly recommend Elissa!

I highly recommend Elissa Westbrook Smith. Elissa has been representing me in a very difficult employment situation. She met with me to discuss my case in a very calming setting and listened carefully to all the issues. She took prompt action to assist me and accompanied me to file my complaint. Elissa then quicky went to action assisting me to file appropriate charges. She always returns my phone calls and emails and has been a lifeline of support. Elissa is kind and speaks to me with respect, compassion and honesty. She also has a great sense of humor. Elissa is a breath of fresh air and an attorney that I can truly say I am honored to know and work with.
