Highly Recommended
Elliot was my lawyer when I went through my divorce. Elliot saved my case. The first lawyer that was working on my case was incompetent. Elliot took over and saved me during my divorce. He was compassionate, patient, and extremely knowledgable. He fights for his clients. Highly recommended.

Very Happy Client
Elliot is an excellent attorney and I am so lucky to have found him! Even when my custody case had some unexpected twists and turns (as they ALL do!), he handled everything professionally and always gave me great advice.
