        I was rear-ended at high speed which led to a life-changing personal injury and a totaled vehicle. The responsible party’s insurance company was refusing to pay my medical bills or my property damage. Not only did Eleni take my case, she negotiated a very fair settlement. Throughout my case, she made sure to listen to my concerns and kept me apprised of what was (or wasn’t) happening. I cannot speak highly enough of her. God forbid, should I need an attorney in the future, Eleni will be my first call.

        I would highly recommend Eleana and her firm as personal injury attorneys. Eleana and her team are very knowledgeable about personal injury law. Eleana was able to explain all of the laws and my rights in a very approachable and clear fashion. I felt that Eleana and her team were always my advocate and looking out for my best interests. Eleana and her team kept me up to date and informed throughout the entire process. I know they all fought hard for me and my rights. We settled my case and I am very happy with the outcome. Whenever I had a decision to make Eleana was there to talk me through it and provide all possible options and outcomes but she always respected my decisions. Eleana was empathetic throughout the entire process and helped me navigate between the emotional and the law. I cannot recommend Eleana highly enough.
