Wonderful law team!

We worked with Alex and Rachel McElroy and could not be happier with the team. They were knowledgeable in all aspects of our case. Their compassion and concern for their clients is unsurpassed. They listened to us and helped us with our case. They consistently went the extra mile and I would highly ...recommend them!

Knowledgeable & Responsive

I contacted Alex McElroy to review my prenuptial agreement. Alex was quick to response, review the documents and when over everything. I greatly appreciated the attention to detail and his simple explanation of the agreement.

Helped us through a difficult situation with our landlord

Attorney McElroy negotiated on our behalf when we found ourselves locked into a long term lease in a rental home that had some significant defects that were not disclosed to us when we signed the lease. We were able to come to an equitable resolution of the conflict with our landlord in a short perio...d of time. Thank you Alex!

Real Estate Investor

Alex has been very responsive and helped me understand the local law in order to do all the right things when it comes to tenants. I would highly recommend him because he has no problem walking you through a topic so that you have a much better understanding.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
