I hired Elena as my legal counsel for my separation and divorce. She was extremely professional, helpful and responsive. She gave me a great sense of relief by preparing me for the process and guiding me through it, step by step. Her office and staff were efficient and organized and made a difficult life decision much easier for me. I would highly recommend Elena if you need an attorney for both marital and family law issues. Her expertise and commitment to her clients make her an outstanding attorney.

Elena was my divorce attorney, and I will turn to her again, without hesitation! She is very professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. She addressed all my concerns with a positive outcome, as well as laid to rest any fears or anxiety regarding custody issues. She was very direct and honest with me, incredibly supportive, and always took the time to address my concerns. She exceeded my expectations, and I am thankful to have had her on my side. Throughout the entire divorce process she knew exactly what to expect, what to do, and was successful in guiding me through the difficult journey with a positive outcome.

Elena was my divorce lawyer. She helped me with custody of my kids when no other lawyer could help me. Not only was I able to keep sole custody of my kids but I now am getting child support which I couldn’t get with other legal help. Highly recommend her.

She had 7 misdemeanor charges reduced to a single violation, and had a restraining order lifted, before I even had a chance to shake her hand! She handled my criminal charges expeditiously, hyper-professionally, and thoroughly. In court, she was confident and reassuring. Her presence reduced sheer terror to mild anxiety. I cannot believe how fortunate I was to connect with Elena! Do yourself a favor -- don't hesitate for a single second. Pick up the phone and call her, NOW.

I was very impressed with Elena's knowledge and professionalism. Elena encouraged mediation in order to forgo the costly expense of litigation and was invaluable in helping me set forth a divorce agreement that both parties could live with. She was available to me with quick responses to my questions and was skilled at expediting the whole process. I would HIGHLY recommend Elena. I would also like to comment that her assistant Racheal is an asset to her practice.

Ms. Tastensen has been very helpful in settling my recent divorce. She always made herself available to answer my questions regardless of how silly they were at times. She kept focused on the task of resolving all issues as quickly and efficiently as possible. When her name has come up in Networking circles and all responses have been she is very good at what she does. I highly recommend her to anyone that wants to work with an attorney that is professional and knowledgeable and will get the job done.

I worked with Elena for over a year on multiple cases involving my divorce and child custody matters. She was efficient, knowledgable, and comprehensive at all times. She successfully guided me through situations that seemed impossible at the time. Over the past few years, I have continued to seek guidance and advice from Elena, always feeling very satisfied. She is professional at all times. Even today, I still maintain contact with Elena and have referred her to many friends for various reasons (divorce, domestic violence, child custody, speeding tickets, private investigation). I have not found an attorney since leaving the state of NY that compares to Elena!

Ms. Tastensen has been tremendously helpful in her expeditious and professional way of handling my legal seperation. Our initial meeting was very informative and the end results after filing the separation agreement with the court exceeded my expectations. In addition to being very professional, she's extremely knowledgeable and caring about her clients' needs. I will continue to use Ms. Tastensen's services to proceed with my divorce action. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking an excellent Divorce/Separation attorney.

I have highly recommended Ms. Tastensen already to several friends and acquaintances. I found her to be a very knowledgeable, kind and considerate woman. She was extremely generous with her time, immediate in her correspondence and understanding in my emotional turmoil. She was patient and worked according to my requests. She was able to refer me to support persons of the highest caliber and with whom I continue to be in contact with. I would not hesitate to contact her concerning any future needs or advise. I remain extremely thankful that I chose her to represent me.

Terrible lawyer. Spent $10,000 for email communications and 1 court room appointment. Fired her after 1 year of terrible service. Will never recommend this lawyer!!!
