About Elisa

A change of scenery called after high school, so picking up roots, I settled in New York where I graduated from business school and law school with high Latin honors. While attending law school I gained hands on training and experience as a student attorney. This gave me exposure to civil, criminal procedure, regulatory and administrative law. How does this hielp my clients? It gives me an edge that I use to secure the best possible outcome for my client’s legal issues.

I have had the privilege to train under, work with, and learn from the best attorneys in the field. I have worked on a multitude of difficult and challenging matters that require handcrafted defenses, dedication, and superior patience and negotiation skills.

I enjoy solving my client’s problems and saving them time and money. My clients are always happy with my customer service, certitude, and results. Call me today for a free consultation. I will answer all of your questions and, even if you choose not hire my law firm, you will come away with valuable knowledge about your case, various options and their consequences.

Professional and god communication

Elisa provided friendly and professional services. She demonstrated good knowledge of the law, gave practical advice, and helped me understand the possible outcomes. She communicated clearly and quickly; and she delivered. My high-point speeding ticket was adjusted to a 0-point parking violation. Thank you!

Outstanding and Very Professional

Posted by

I contacted Ms. Elisa Claro regarding 2 traffic violations that I received (and neglected) more than 10 years ago. I met Ms. Claro in her White Plains office and she immediately explained in person and in follow up emails upcoming procedures and defense options of my case. I was very nervous regarding these long neglected tickets but her professionalism and kind demeanor immediately put me at ease. When the day came regarding my case, I contacted Ms. Claro several hours after my scheduled court appearance to find out the results. She emailed me back promptly with the results. One serious traffic violation completely dismissed with no fine or points on my license and the other I plead guilty to and paid a minimal fine with ZERO license points. I will absolutely retain Ms. Claro again if needed and you should as well.

Good Job

Posted by

I received two tickets with a total of nine points from a trooper. I contacted the Claro Law Firm after the incident and had a brief meeting which explained the implications of the traffic tickets. Elisa is professional in her approach with the right attitude. She replies her e-mails on time and communicates effectively. Elisa did a good job by reducing the nine points to zero thereby avoiding an auto insurance premium increase and the $525 NYS DMV Assessment fee. It is interesting to note that my driving record is now crystal clear. I am glad because she really took care of the boogeyman. I absolutely recommend the Claro Law Firm

If you're reading this in search of a good lawyer, you've come to the right place!!

Elisa Claro did an amazing job in helping me resolve a traffic violation. When I started my search for an attorney, I googled and found three firms in the area to whom I emailed inquiring about how they could help. Elisa called almost immediately after I sent the email (one other attorney called two days later, and one emailed three days later!), and she spent time thoroughly explaining the process and the range of outcomes that I could expect. I engaged here immediately, and she handled the rest. She is a true professional and really gave me peace of mind that she would handle this as if it was her own issue. The results were terrific! She was able to plea my case to a no points solution...which was one of the possible outcomes that I really didn't think would happen. I hope I don't have further needs for traffic court violations, but if I do, I would definitely call Elisa asap. And that's why i'm taking the time to write this review....she deserves it! Thorough, thoughtful, efficient, effective and professional...that's Attorney Elisa Claro!

Elisa Claro is the best

Posted by

Elisa is the best lawyer. She saved me from losing my job as an Uber driver. I would suggest for everyone to go to her. She handled three of my tickets, and my license would've got suspended if she didn't help me. She has the best personality, and wad always available when i had questions.

Amazing Outcome and Service!!

Posted by

Hiring Elisa Claro was the BEST choice I could've made, when my son received his 1st speeding ticket.. It was 21 miles over the speed limit, and was going to be six points on his license and an increase in insurance. I decided I would try an attorney. I never needed an one before and didn't know what to expect, but decided it was worth trying to fight the ticket. Elisa told me to give her the ticket and leave the rest to her. She knew exactly what to do, and how do achieve the outcome we wanted. She told me there was no need to show up at court and kept me abreast of every postponement and never once did I need to worry. Finally, she contacted me with the good news that the ticket was dismissed with no points, fines or fees. Absolutely amazing and professional job. I would not hesitate for 1 second to call if I needed her services again.
