So far I’m not impressed.

Am in the middle of a custody battle and so far am not impressed at all by his performance. I understand that I’m not paying and the state issued me this lawyer but THE STATE IS paying him for his services. If this continues I will follow up with the governing body that is in charge of assigning d...efense lawyers.

Great Family Law Attorney

Elliot Podhorzer was my attorney for my visitation and child support cases. He is very skilled In the area of Family Law and has a great handle on how the court system works. Elliot was able to get me significant visitation with my 2 kids. He really advocated for me! I found him to be very ac...cessible , compassionate and knowledgeable. He kept me informed of everything that was happening with my cases and was always thinking one step ahead. I highly recommend him as an attorney.

STAY AWAY

This guy is a joke. All he does is push paper and take your money. He likes to drag out court proceedings in order to bill. I was ready to settle from the beginning, but he insisted we continue the case because of my "rights". The final order was the same thing I wanted in the beginning - I'm jus...t $5k poorer.

Free Legal advice may be worth what you pay for it but I promise it's worth more than Elliot podhorzer's representation

My sympathies to those who have wasted a dime on this man. So deep do they run that if you are a client current or former and you believe deeply that he is not representing your case in the way you are advising him to and if you further feel that he is engaging in professional misconduct I WILL PERSO...NALLY HELP U FINANCIALLY WITH 2-3k towards any lawsuit that has real merit. My email is [email protected] . I'm serious about this and so will be the scrutiny of your claim. to valid claims that hold up to real meritorious standards ill gladly help. I believe lawyers like this need to go. This is probably the worst lawyer I have ever paid for . I retained him in a custody/Support case. Ill be brief but let's just say if you have a case that has been handled badly, contains a string of incorrect or appealable and winnable decisions , if you are actually battling a bad judge not your adversary than do not hire this man

An amazing advocate that knows family court

Passion, compassion and dedication are the first three words that come to mind when I think of Elliot Podhorzer. Elliot is one of the most diligent and talented attorneys I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Every dime was well spent and the volume of work that was done was incredible. If... you have an issue and don’t know how to solve it, Elliot will do everything he can to remedy it to the best of his ability – he will be YOUR advocate – and his ability to advocate on your behalf is simply second to none.
