Elana Einhorn

Competent appellate work, but communication could improve

I hired Elana Einhorn to handle an appeal after an unfavorable ruling in a contract dispute. Her background in appellate practice was evident from the start; she has a clear, methodical approach to dissecting trial records and identifying viable arguments for appeal. Her recognition in this specific field gave me confidence. She successfully identified a key procedural error from the lower court that became the cornerstone of our brief. The final written product was thorough and well-argued, demonstrating the sharp legal mind she developed at The University of Texas. However, the experience was not without its frustrations. While Ms. Einhorn is undoubtedly knowledgeable, there were often significant delays in receiving responses to emails or calls. Updates were infrequent unless I initiated contact, which added unnecessary stress during an already tense process. Her three years of experience showed in her legal analysis, but perhaps a more established practice would have smoother client management systems. For the core legal work, she delivered a competent performance that achieved a remand for a new hearing, which was our realistic goal. I would describe her as a capable attorney who gets the substantive job done, but managing client expectations and maintaining consistent communication are areas where her practice could mature.
