Elinor H. Portivent

She represented me in a contempt case she filed back an flipped the script I’m so thankful for Mrs Elinor and her paralegal April & Elinor both stayed communicating with me all the way around,reviewing what they filed for me they was very on top at first I was scared because these reviews where so crazy there not true an don’t second guess her she knows best !!!!they are by far the best an she’s so sweet & funny as I went through the emotional rollercoaster I will definitely be keeping in touch with Mrs portivent for anymore future legal strategies she’s the best for memorizing an keeping her stuff organized!!!!

I highly recommend Elinor Portivent if you are looking for a family law attorney. Mrs. Portivent is absolutely incredible to work with both inside and outside the court room. She will be honest with you about your case, and she will fiercely advocate for you as her client. She is kind, confident, articulate, concise and she does an amazing job arguing in the court room. Her arguments are clever, strategic, and she is quick to get to the point. After watching her in court, and working with her I think it’s safe to say Elinor Portivent is absolutely crushing her opponents. Her paralegal Nancy is just as tough, kind, and efficient. These two strong and intelligent women work diligently to make what difference they can; both with a sense of dignity and integrity. They are truly a great team

In truth, Elinor can be a bit hard to get a hold of at times, but in fairness, I think that speaks to the demand for her talent. She has a reputation in the area for her skill, and it's well-deserved. I went through a tumultuous divorce and subsequent related challenges, and Elinir has shown herself time and again to be reasonable, fair-minded, genuinely concerned for the well-being of my children, frank (yet always tactful), honest, and extremely sharp. She does a great job of setting realistic expectations while providing confidence in the hope of a good outcome. I have every faith that she always has what's best for my children and me at heart. Speaking specifically as a father, I know how scary it can be to feel like you're up against a system that's slanted against you at every turn

Tried to assist in the unlawful removal of my first amendment rights in part. The judge told her she “has no case”. She got upset that I was smiling at the fact that I got to keep my rights and stood up demanding it be put on the record that my grins be recorded as “gloating”. 😏🥴 PS: I didn't delete it! :)

Do not recommend if you’re young and inexperienced with law. Beforehand she told me she was in the same situation with the same lawyer of the other party, but with roles reversed and she was representing the man. She straight up told me she didn’t wan’t things contradicting the other case. She acted as if she’d still represent me with mine and my child’s best interest. I expressed many times I didn’t know how all of this worked. She was bad about answering the phone and calling back and did not explain things well at all. She was very misleading. Then she acted as if she was trying to persuade me into things to make her job easier by using “a judge would grant this” when I’ve had several tell me he wouldn’t. I’m a single, 22 year old mom who was left feeling used so she didn’t contradict h
