A Tranquil Captain during Stormy Seas

I recently was represented by Mr. Elliot. His entire firm is a class act, and they answer and return calls with great professionalism. Tom was a realistic voice during an emotional process, where the law is not always based upon logic and realities of today's world. He will tell you what works and... what doesn't, and will help guide you to a resolution that you can live with. Someone once said, a good deal is when both sides leave the table unhappy. That's is divorce by it's nature. But you can at least have someone in your corner who knows the ropes and can advocate where there is room for advocacy. (He also knows when to call BS on the other side lol). I don't plan on getting married and divorced again, but if I do, I will call Tom again :-).

Amazing Lawyer

Mr. Elliot is very professional and supported me through my divorce process . He was easy to reach and was available when I needed a quick answer. I highly recommend his services.

Divorce handled with care

I hired Tom to handle a divorce that I didn't want. He was exceptionally patient with me and "held my hand" through this difficult period. Legally, he always had my best interests in mind and kept me continuously aware of every step of the divorce. I have already recommended Tom to others. Tom and th...e entire staff were exceptionally caring, understanding and available to me. They made this horrible situation tolerable.

Could Not Have Been Better

I had interviewed several attorneys before choosing to use the Joseph Law Group to represent me in my divorce. Thomas Elliot was the attorney assigned to my case and I couldn't have been in better hands. His knowledge of the ever-changing matrimonial laws is extensive, and he was always willing to ta...ke the time to clearly explain them to me. He guided me through the process with a gentle and supportive hand, but was firm in his standings during negotiations and it court. My divorce was settled in a timely manner and we were able to come to a fair agreement.

Professionalism at its Best

I met with Tom Elliot, who was referred to by a close friend of my employer at the time, looking for an attorney to help me settle with an extremely difficult ex-spouse. As soon as I met Tom, I knew I had the right person. He was professional, knowledgeable, and most of all, practical minded and co...mforting with the concerns I had. He is a straight shooter - he's going to call it as he sees it and not look drag things out. Although I did not have a terribly complicated case, Tom and his staff made me feel at ease because they were pro active and were always on top of things. Tom was thorough and efficient with opposing counsel and the case went as smooth as it possibly could. Subsequent to my case, Tom is always available to assist with any questions or issues I may have. I have recommended him to a few friends who are in similar situations that I was in and will continue to do so. Tom is a true professional and I will continue to utilize his services and refer him.
