This page allows prospective clients to get to know me as an attorney and me as a human so that they can determine whether the chemistry exists to form an attorney-client relationship during one of the most stressful times in a person's life. I pride myself on my ability to work through huge problems, including major life transitions. If Hurricane Katrina did not stop me but instead propelled me to my passion - families - then there is no problem too big and no transition too messy. I know what it is like to be a "stay at home" mom thrust back into work to survive, and I know what it is like to juggle a demanding career and a large family. I strive to preserve civility and respect during the divorce process and reduce conflict and its impact on parents and their children. I educate my clients on the impact of conflict on the children so that my clients can make the best decisions possible for the future health of their children. I work closely with my clients to ensure that they understand their options and rights to make informed decisions about their future. I bring a breadth of experience dealing with high-conflict families to every family law case I handle. My goal is to serve each client individually, knowing that no two families are alike, so no two solutions are the same. I strive to find real-life workable solutions for the families I serve, realizing that a marriage might be over, but a family still stands. My practice involves all aspects of family law: prepping postnuptial and separation agreements, parenting plans, child support, simple and complex financial cases, relocation, and blended families. I am collaboratively trained and have had 40 hours of mediation training. I have a deep understanding of complex parenting issues, which clients may face when divorcing. I also have the needed attention to detail and experience required to capably handle complex financial cases. Families run full speed 24/7. I get that because I, too, run full speed. Our team at Elise Buie Family Law Group, PLLC, gets that too. That is why we are available to you when you are available. Family law feels like an emergency room at times - people popping in with unforeseen problems at all hours of the day and night and on weekends. Often if a client will call at the beginning of what seems like a crisis, we can divert the storm together with a bit of education and some creative problem-solving with a heart for your family's future. Having an emotionally available attorney who understands your rights and frankly explains your responsibilities is a resource not to be overlooked during your divorce.
