*(LOS ANGELES, CA) – Announcing the launch of The Elite Firm, a full-service law firm, and crisis management agency. Founded by Demetria Graves, California Family Law Specialist, and Merissa V Grayson, Esq., America’s Blended Family Expert, The Elite Firm pushes the boundaries of what legal representation should look like. The Elite Firm will officially launch January 5, 2018, and will be based in Century City, California.

After running extremely successful individual firms of their own for many years, these high powered attorneys decided to come together to offer African American celebrities, athletes and high profile influencers and individuals something currently not available to them; a premier law firm founded, managed and staffed by a team of successful, dynamic Black women who  truly have their client’s best interest, and not just their billable hours, as the focus.

The Elite Firm provides top-notch legal representation resulting in optimal results inside the courtroom. Moreover, the Elite team- comprised of professionals experienced in Anger Management, Mental Health, Personal Development, and Crisis Management- properly advises clients, ensuring they have the tools they need to not only win their case, but to positively affect all aspects of their lives. This is what sets Elite apart. Too often we see high profile individuals engaged in legal battles, making completely avoidable but highly detrimental decisions outside of the courtroom which not only have negative effects on their cases, but lingering effects on their lives and reputations long after their legal issues are resolved.

For most firms, if it isn’t directly related to the case and can’t be included in the billable hours, it’s not their concern. Not the case with Elite. Simply put, The Elite Firm takes care of the client, not just the case, and is committed to ensuring its clients have the full support system they need to keep things from falling apart.
