Excellent work, honestly!
I am extremely thankful, and honestly would highly recommend Elbaz & Elbaz Lawfirm! Joshua was the lead attorney for my case, in which i was facing multiple years in confinement. I retained Joshua Elbaz as my attorney and he picked up my case deep into the stages of it. I was worried that it was too ...

Grattitude
From my first encounter with Att. Joshua Elbaz, he showed empathy and most importantly he believed and defended me. Attorney Elbaz and his staff communicated with me and always made certain that I understood everything about my case and never promised anything that he didn’t deliver. I am completely...

Literal God-send
From the bottom of my heart and this is said with absolutely ZERO use of hyperbole–Attormey Joshua Elbaz is my personal savior and the deep level of care and urgency he personally assigned to my legal representation is solely what prevented me from being another unjust and innocent young man who had ...

Elbaz & Elbaz Review
When I chose Elbaz & Elbaz as my representation it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve known Joshua for a while because he was friends with my brother when I was younger.

Come Where The Grass Greener
I can’t express how grateful I am to be represented by Joshua Elbaz! I was dealing with a drug charge that I was facing prison time for and had hired Mr. Elbaz late into my case in desperate need of help. When all the other attorneys I called declined to help me saying it was either too late or that ...
"I have know Joshua Elbaz since law school and even then it was very apparent that he would become a fantastic criminal defense attorney. Joshua is sharp, tenacious, and most importantly he treats his clients with a level of care and respect that one should hope to find in an excellent legal advocate. Joshua is the kind of person that you want standing by your side when the stakes couldn't be higher. Judges trust him, prosecutors respect him, and ultimately clients will find that they are better off when they have Joshua in their corner. Joshua is the real deal."
"I've known Josh for many years now. I am so confident in his abilities as a defense advocate that I literally referred him to a member of my family. If you're in trouble with the law, there's only one attorney to call.. that's Josh Elbaz of Elbaz and Stimpson Attorney at law!"
