Elisa, I wanted to take the time to thank you. You treated me with kindness, respect and compassion. You work hard and it shows. Taking the extra time with me to make some important decisions is very much appreciated and certainly didn’t go unnoticed.

– Thank you. L.P.

Mike, Having you as an attorney was definitely an early X-Mas for me in September

– Thanks, B.D.

Thank you again. I really appreciate your efforts and think the way you cross examined the Brewster Police officers was brilliant.

– Thanks, C.L.

Elisa, Thank you for all your expertise yesterday. It is such a difference to wake up today and feel free to get on with my life and have my name cleared. My friends and family who have supported me through this send a big thank you as well. You were wonderful. I knew it was not going to not be easy. Thank you for your patience, professionalism and helping me have my name cleared.

– Thanks, M.D.

Elisa, Thank you for all of your diligence and hard work. You have no idea how much this meant to both of us, not only to prevail legally, but morally as well. You will not be forgotten.

– Respectfully, R.D.

Elisa, Thank you so much for all you did for us in this ridiculous court case! We so appreciated your willingness to take time to explain things to us, to prepare us for trial, to respond to our questions in a timely manner, and to do such a great job in court. If you ever need a reference, we would be happy to provide one.

– Thank you again. J & S

Elisa, I cannot thank you enough for how brilliantly you handled my trial. I can now go back to school, apply for the job I have wanted to for awhile and can do it without that OUI hanging over me. With that, I could not have moved forward in my life as a nurse- so thank you! You were so impressive at my trial; so composed and smart. Plus, your charisma didn’t hurt. I want you to know that I totally learned my lesson that night and mean it when I said I haven’t drank since then. I learned that alcohol has no place in my life and can cause huge problems. You are the best.

– Thanks again! K.K.

I am sure you have heard the fantastic news of last Friday’s trial. I wanted to say thanks… and most importantly tell you what a great job Elisa did. She really was excellent. While we may have had a little luck on our side to have gotten as favorable a decision as we did… Elisa really punched some holes in their entire process and won it for us. I couldn’t have been happier.

– Thanks! S.S.

Hi Elisa, Thanks again for everything! I hope your father praised you for your exceptional victory–this has GOT to mean ultimate respect in the courtroom! So many thanks!!!

Elisa, Without your help my license would not have been possible. Thank you Again.

Hi, Elisa. I just want to thank you again for all your hard work on my trial. I hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving. Thank you.

Elisa and her father were extremely supportive. They both explained every step of the process and the possible outcomes. Fortunately, my outcome was very positive thanks to their professionalism and expertise with the law. They guided me through an extremely challenging “road block” in my life. Thank You Again!
