Elainie Honjas

I went through an ugly divorce that had all the ingredients for a horrible outcome. My ex-​husband was unreasonable and unwilling to communicate; let alone cooperate. On top of that, opposing counsel were not the nicest and easiest people to work with. I was extremely stressed and preparing myself for the worst.
Elainie’s professionalism and vast knowledge in Divorce & Family Law were apparent throughout the process. She stood her ground and was able to demonstrate her years of experience in the way she communicated with opposing counsel. This skill and knowledge helped my case with ‘mini-​wins’ along the way.
Elainie is caring and was able to calm my worries and stress from beginning to end. However, she does not sugar coat possible outcomes which I respect. As a client, I wanted to know what I had in store. Although there were times I felt I needed to be hand-​held through the scary process, I learned that Elainie’s caring was shown in the passion she puts into fighting your case.
The outcome of my divorce was better than I expected — thanks to Elainie.

Collaborative, caring, experienced attorney
—-
Two thumbs up for Elainie. She’s experienced and easy to work with, and I’ve used her services for over a decade now on a variety of issues.
Her strengths are:
1. Works in a collaborative way with opposing counsel, so you don’t have to appear in court unnecessarily. Saves money and reduces stress.
2. Is able to push forcefully when the need arises.
3. Flexible in adapting to the style you need, i.e. she’s happy to run the case, or to let you get involved, if you want to be very active in your own case.
4. She’s volunteers as a judge pro tem, so she’s knowledgeable about the process and well known amongst the judges.
Her weakness is (if you think it’s a weakness):
She will not push hard to get what you want if you are being unreasonable, as she wants her cases to have solid justification.
Overall, a very good attorney, and especially good if you want to have a more harmonious resolution to your case.

I called Elainie Honjas office to see if she can help with my situation. Her secretary was very nice and pleasant and took her time to hear me out. I told her that I don’t want to take time out of my working schedule to come if the lawyer can’t work on my problems. She was very understanding and professional and said that she’ll try to have Elainie call me back even though she is in court today. Elainie’s secretary said that she’ll call me either same day before 4 or the following day. Within two hours I got a call from Elainie herself. I explained my situation and she said that she doesn’t specialized in that field and recommended someone else. Throughout our conversation, she was very professional and gave me some advice over the phone. What a pleasant lady and wonderful secretary. Definitely recommend them just based on their professionalism regards if you pay them or not.
