Great lawyer

Elan was great with the entire closing process of the selling of our home. It was a delight to work with him and his team. At the actual closing, he took his time and walked us through the entire process, page by page, explaining everything through the discussion. He never made us feel like we are in...consequential. I would recommend Elan to everyone! Thank you again.

Excellent housing lawyer

He was able to help remove a troublesome ex-roommate from our house that was subletting from me. The room mate refused to leave after a number of issues, such as drug use and non payment of rent. We had to go to court and we were able to get a deal to our benefit.

An amazing and dedicated person!

Elan is an attorney I will recommend to anyone!!! He is knowledgeable, dedicated and gets the work done! He was always available and answered each question and adressed each concern thoroughly. Our case had many issues that came up along the way and with his creativeness, experience and effort we ...were able to solve all the issues and finally proceed to closing! Everyone who asks me if I know a good real estate attorney, Elan is the first one that comes into mind. Like I said before, I recommend him to anyone!

Such a Smooth Process!!

Elan Layliev was very concise, knowledgeable, detail oriented and extremely helpful in helping my family purchase our first house. Elan was so helpful (and patient with us) throughout the entire process negotiating the terms of the lease, answering all questions we had about obtaining a mortgage, an...d making sure title cleared smoothly for our closing. The office was wonderful dealing with me and my husband. I unequivocally recommend this law firm for all issues related to real estate.

Like Family

I am an attorney and my relatives hired Elan to put together a trust for the family. He spent hours speaking with the family, in person and on the phone, on his own time (no charge), to make sure that he understood their needs. In addition to knowing the law well in his field, he treated my family ...members as though they were his own in trying to find the best legal solution for their benefit. I recommend Elan wholeheartedly.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
