Elena M. Carrion

Elena Carrion has always been fiercely competitive. That energy serves her well in her legal career and is a great benefit to those she represents.

Before becoming an attorney, Elena worked as a personal trainer. She considers herself a people person, and this attribute is reflected in her approach to family law.

“My passion for connecting with others naturally drew me to family law,” she says. “I use my appreciation for people’s diverse experiences and eccentricities to support, fight for, and guide clients through some of life’s most emotionally charged challenges.”

A Pacific Northwest native, Elena swapped coasts to attend the University of Virginia, where she received her B.A. in philosophy and English. From there, she embarked on her legal journey, attending Elon University School of Law in North Carolina, where she earned her Juris Doctor.

When not fighting for her clients, you’ll likely find Elena training in the gym or on the roads or trails, preparing for her next race. To date, she has completed five marathons, two ultra-marathons, and two triathlons, in addition to countless shorter races. Believe it or not, she does have rest days now and again, and on those she enjoys quieter pursuits, like escaping into her most recent fantasy novel, jamming out on her ukulele, or baking her latest batch of sourdough bread.
