The best lawyer in Charlotte
Eli was amazing. He was there every step of the way. He came and saw me in the psych ward and was very personal. He got my felony charge knocked down to a misdemeanor and got my case dismissed. Eli was very kind, communicative, and very professional. I would hire him again if needed!

Eli is the best!
Eli was the absolute best I could ask for! Got my charge dismissed without ever even having to attend court.
"Eli is highly regarded in the Charlotte legal community and recognized as a legal expert for DWI cases and any criminal defense matter. His knowledge of the law, case preparation, case research, and attention to detail is unmatched. If you are lucky enough to have seen Eli in trial, as I have, it's clear the time, research, and preparation that he puts into his client's defense. He is one of those attorneys you would go to to run a case scenario by for his thoughts on the matter. Eli is well respected in the community and I highly recommend him for anyone seeking representation."
"Eli's case preparation is impeccable. He leaves no stone unturned when building his defense for the accused, and I have had the opportunity to watch his craft firsthand. He has extensive training through his years as a public defender, and it is due to his combined experience and tenacity that he is highly respected by his colleagues. I would refer anyone to Eli without hesitation."
"Eli has a passion for the law and for each individual client he represents. He seeks a solution to his client's problems without being concerned about how difficult the path to success will be."
"I endorse this lawyer. Eli and I worked together representing a client in a criminal matter in federal court. Eli was very diligent in analyzing the facts and law. He is committed to providing quality representation to all his clients. I fully endorse him."
"Eli takes persistence to a whole new level. If you want a sleepy attorney that walks clients into a plea - Eli is not that guy. Eli is very experienced in local trial court practice and works tirelessly to get his clients the justice they deserve. I endorse this lawyer."
