Personal

Outside of her legal practice, Elaine is an active member of the Orange County Bar Association and the Orange County Chapter of CREW, a non-profit organization of commercial real estate professionals.

In her free time, Elaine enjoys traveling and exploring local culinary creations, with a special appreciation for Italian cuisine and Southern Chinese favorites, such as authentic Dim Sum in Hong Kong. When unwinding at her favorite local nook in Laguna Beach, she appreciates the company of a self-help book, memoir, or historical fiction tale.
