About Elise

Even before my first day at law school, I knew that I wanted to focus my career on helping families. Luckily, while at school in Georgia, I had the opportunity to spend my time working as an intern at a family law firm and I have never looked back. Since then, my passion for helping people get through difficult legal issues has only grown, and I am thrilled to now be able to assist families and children in Pennsylvania.
