I was falsely accused of very serious criminal charges by my wife and was arrested in July 2020. I had no knowledge of the American criminal justice system, and interviewed dozens of attorneys. Luckily, I found Elena. From the very beginning, she took the case head on and utilized her experience as a former Assistant District Attorney. We developed a comprehensive defense, which took hours and hours of going over the case and looking at the documents. I was literally fighting for my life. I was very scared and had so much anxiety. At some points, I was even eager to take the plea, even though I’ve done nothing wrong. Elena remained steadfast in bringing this case to trial, since a plea meant jail time and deportation. Went to trial and came out victorious on all counts. 25 minutes after starting deliberations, the jury found me NOT GUILTY and dismissed all the charges. In a case that everyone told me was hopeless and unwinnable. Elena fought for me every step of the way – pre-trial motions, opening, cross-examination and summation with incredible preparation, grace, professionalism and experience. If you are looking for a criminal defense attorney, look no further. I owe Elena my life.
