Great lawyer

Excellent lawyer, my experience with him and our family was very trustworthy and made himself available when needed.

A GREAT ATTORNEY

HAS SHOWN ME VERY GOOD ADVICE AND DIRECTION. IN OUR DEALINGS WITH EACH OTHER HE HAS SHOWN ME THAT HE IS MY LAWYER AND IS CONCERNED ABOUT MY WELFARE IN AND OUT OF COURT. HE ALSO SHOWED ME A FRIENDSHIP SIDE IN OUR RELATIONSHIP, WHICH I ENJOY AND REALLY APPRECIATE, THAT HE IS SO HONEST WITH ME. ... ATTY ELDER, PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2022.

Suspension issued in CT, 2022

updated on 01/05/2023

This means the attorney lost his or her license to practice law for a period of time. The attorney typically returns to practicing law when the suspension expires.

A court reprimand is an order from the Superior Court after it has found that an attorney has engaged in ethical misconduct. If an attorney receives more than 3 reprimands in 5 years, a presentment must be filed against the attorney so the Superior Court can decide if more serious discipline should be ordered.
