Her Story

About Elektra

I decided to start my own firm because my husband really believed in me and encouraged me. I come from a family of legal entrepreneurs, with my grandfather being a lawyer and judge. Before law school, I studied filmmaking and worked at MTV, then traveled Europe for a year. At my firm, we focus on being client-centric and communicative, which sets us apart. I now focus on visionary leadership, mentoring, and networking rather than daily case work.
