Excellent attorney

Mr Podhorzer is the best attorney one can ever have. He represented me in family court for nearly three years, helping me obtain physical custody of my child. He has the greatest degree of competence, integrity and honesty. I’ll never be able to thank him enough.

He's a Monster in the court room. Thank You Mr. Podhorzer.

Firstly, in my experience, I'd like to say that Mr. Podhorzer is a good man. All the people who work in the family court building say good things about him. Secondly, every time we have had a court date, Mr. Podhorzer shows up dressed to the nines, well-groomed, looking sharp in his suits and ready t...o do battle. I'm a father in the middle of a visitation/custody hearing for my daughter that has been going on for way too long due to the child's mother manipulating and lying in the court but I am positive that the truth will indeed triumph in this hearing. Thus far though, Mr. Podhorzer has already gotten me over night visitations. He is a very smart man and knows the legal system well. He has been chipping away at the mountain of lies and has done so eloquently I may add. I've trusted him thus far and he has delivered on his word. He is an absolute beast in the court room. He can and will go toe to toe with any attorney out there and fight for your cause anytime. If you're reading this, trust that he will do his best to represent you. Thank You Mr. Podhorzer for helping truth and justice remain the standard in our judicial system. I understand things are not over yet so we will continue to fight for our cause with honor and dignity.

Dedicated attorney

Mr Podhorzer represented me in a long, protracted custody battle. I’m theFather so I didn’t ultimately get custody (the attorney for the children made sure of that) but he did get me extended time with our children and for that I’m very greatful.

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.
