Elaine Smith
Senior Paralegal
There is no substitute for experience, and that’s exactly what paralegal Elaine Smith brings to our clients and our team. Experience in the legal world and experience in life makes Elaine a welcome addition to Harbor Family Law.
Elaine graduated with high honors obtaining her associate degree in Paralegal Studies from Tacoma Community College and is a former member of their Paralegal Program Advisory Committee. Her work in the legal field has always been dedicated to family law and helping clients successfully navigate the often-overwhelming issues of their case.
Elaine’s personal experiences have given her a perspective of compassion and understanding. “I know firsthand what it means to go through a highly contested divorce and deal with the challenges of raising children in more than one home. I recognize how stressful it is to be involved in litigation on matters of the heart.” All of this shows in her commitment to seeing that our clients get the care and consideration they deserve. By treating them with empathy and respect, Elaine can listen attentively and provide vital information with clarity, knowing how essential clear communication is on the roller coaster of divorce.
Born and raised in Montana, Elaine made Washington her home just over twenty years ago. Outside of the office, she spends as much time as possible with her grown children and granddaughter. She is also an avid motorcycle rider and loves to explore all the twisty, winding backroads and spectacular destinations the Pacific Northwest has to offer.
