Knowledge & Experience

Elliott has a great deal of knowledge that comes from experience. His advice was both carefully considered and extremely helpful. He is able to walk you through a very complex set of rules in a clear step-by-step manner that keeps your focus on what is important and relevant.

A laser focused attorney

Without a judgement I’d like to express my satisfaction with the case Attorney Epstein presented staying “laser focused” on my complicated financial divorce . The staff at this law office were kind and supportive during the stress of preparing for trial. I felt prepared and the case was a representa...tion of the person I am. Attorney Epstein ensured I told my story being well organized with a solid understanding of the details . I’m grateful for Attorney Elliott Epstein’s hard work.

EElliott handled my divorce very professionally and timely. He was alwlliott is Experienced, Prepared, and Extremely Effective

Elliott handled my divorce very professionally and timely. He was always responsive to my inquires and returned my calls and emails promptly. Especially noteworthy was his guidance and advice in the preparation of supporting materials, and information. Elliott possesses the key elements of excellent... knowledge of his craft combined with experience and the ability to prepare an exceptionally strong well-supported legal position. He was able to contact a vocational expert who prepared an effective assessment to present which indicated my former Spouse's actual ability to earn. Elliot is a calm, extremely intelligent facts-based person rather than an emotional-based individual. He advises his client towards desired positive long-term strategic results instead of short-term emotional wins. In short, he asked me what my important goals and objectives were, and then communicated well with me, explained what I needed to expect throughout the process, informed me of deadlines and reminded me to meet them, and anticipated what the opposing counsel would do, and made sure we were prepared. I felt we were far better prepared than the opposition. Elliott has so much experience that I felt we were well-prepared for contingencies that might have appeared. Elliott is very detail oriented, able to handle some complex calculations involving military retirement computations, and life-insurance valuations when portions were both non-martial and marital. He prepared an efficient illustration of the proposed property split that a lesser attorney would have likely billed a lot of hours to craft in a different way. Elliot has the courage and confidence to tell his clients, "how it is" legally, and what they can realistically expect, "somewhere between the goalposts", for an outcome. There were times when I was frustrated, upset, and over-wrought with the process and what I perceived to be arduous and unfair, but Elliott calmed me down and helped me regain my focus and kept me on track. If you are looking for an attorney who is extremely capable, goes to court well-prepared, has the experience which includes knowing the judges and other attorneys which may be involved in your case, you need to at least have an initial conversation with Elliott. I spoke to not fewer than six attorneys before I chose Elliott to help me though my divorce and am very satisfied with my choice. I feel I was well-served.

Highly Effective and Professional Lawyer. A Winning Partition Action Countersuit Review

I could not be more pleased with the outstanding legal support provided by Elliott. He demonstrated remarkable efficiency and effectiveness throughout my partition action countersuit. This was an emotional matter for me and he helped me stay focused on the facts. Elliott does not suffer fools, which... is a quality you want in your lawyer when you’re being billed by the hour. I used a little more than half of my retainer and felt every billable item was accurate and fair. What truly set him apart were the multiple strategies devised that I never would have thought of on my own, ultimately securing a 100% desired outcome. Choosing an experienced and decorated lawyer over someone new in the industry was clearly the right decision. Elliott's expertise and strategic thinking were invaluable, and I wholeheartedly recommend his services. If I ever need legal aid in the future, Elliott will be my first and only call.
