About Elissa Griffith
Elissa Griffith Waldron began her academic path in the classroom and laboratory rather than the courtroom. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Health and Hospital Administration Planning from Pennsylvania State University and later attended New England Law | Boston, where she completed her Doctor of Jurisprudence. She also completed a mindfulness-based stress reduction program at Lehigh Valley Hospital Center, a detail that colleagues say informs how she manages client meetings and courtroom preparation.
Her admissions include the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the Eastern and Middle Districts of the U.S. District Court for Pennsylvania, and the U.S. Supreme Court. Those credentials reflect a practice that has both state and federal dimensions. They also allow her to take on matters that cross jurisdictional lines when necessary.
Waldron’s professional life has included active participation in local bar governance. She has served in officer roles within the Family Law Division of the Bar Association of Lehigh County, including terms listed as president, vice president, secretary and treasurer in materials dating from 1999. That service placed her in regular contact with judges, court administrators and fellow practitioners in the county and helped shape local family law procedures and education initiatives.
Over the years she has handled matters that require courtroom presence and client counseling. Her background in health administration gives her a different lens on cases that touch medical issues or complex support calculations. She works with clients on case strategy, prepares filings for state and federal courts where appropriate, and represents parties in hearings and trials when the situation calls for it.
In private practice she operates from the Law Offices of Elissa Griffith Waldron. The office handles cases that come through the Lehigh County court system and, when admitted matters require it, in the federal districts where she holds admission. Her approach is deliberate and procedural; she aims to set clear expectations with clients and to pursue resolutions that reflect the facts of each case. She practices family law from the Law Offices of Elissa Griffith Waldron.
