This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Consider yourself lucky if you have Tom on your side!

I used Tom Elliot for my divorce. During this extremely difficult time in my life Tom told me what to expect from the very first meeting. He made every effort to settle things as quickly as possible, however my ex and her attorney were less than cooperative. Tom knew every fact of my situation and... was always prepared. The overall result was much better than I had originally expected due to the fact that I had Tom on my side. He is excellent in all respects of matrimonial law, and also possesses an outstanding knowledge of business issues as well.

Thomas A. Elliot

Tom was and is a pleasure to work with. He is a trustworthy attorney who is fair, hard working and very responsive. During my case he was always willing to listen and try to work things out peacefully when the situation became overly contentious. I would highly recommend him.

Thank you!

I want to thank Tom Elliot and Associates for all their support and the time spent making sure I was comfortable with each step in the process and answering my many questions. You made a very challenging time so much more reasonable than I anticipated. Tom and his firm are amazing! Very professiona...l and personable as well. Highly recommend!

Mr. Elliot was spectacular

Mr. Elliot was spectacular as my lawyer. He was competent, friendly and the voice of reason during my divorce. Tom was clear and concise in explaining the law to me, was always there when I called or needed him and he seemed to really care about my case. Tom talked me off the ledge a couple of times,... and I really appreciated that. very thorough in breaking things down so that even a simpleton like me understood what was going on! I truly appreciate Tom's work and I thank him for his time and work. I would recommend Tom and the Joseph Law Group 8 days a week!

Thomas Elliot, a good divorce lawyer

I had a firm prior to Mr. Elliot, who was inexperienced and not competent. On the other hand, Tom was easy to work with. He made the whole divorce process simple. As a male in NYS, he was able to secure an agreement in which I received money from my female spouse.

  • 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.
