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... satisfied with the way I was represented and am greatly impressed with the outcome. Thank you very much Att. Elbaz for helping me during this extremely difficult time in my life!

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 ...a promising life get completely destroyed and not be blessed to have such great legal representation as I had the privilege of like so many countless men before and after my close call withb a future devoid of hope and limited if any opportunities and who will ultimately continue to not have been spared such an unjust fate as this message gets read. The absolutely abhorrent fact that an innocent man's life can be decimated solely off a completely fabricated testimony with absolutely no supporting evidence, but we live in a world where the justice system has determined a standard which disproportionately treats all female accusers with an undeniable bias with an active and vocal sex crime culuture where we must "believe ALL women." I woke up after being terminated from my employer the day prior first thing to see a new voicemail and it was a vague message from a local police detective requesting I returned her call and that she wished to schedule an appointment with her at our local police station to.provide a statement and for what reason she refrained from disclosing in the voicemail and stupidly I returned her call where this detective asked me some general but fairly vaugue questions pertaining to what the allegations st hand were abd by whom and she wanted me to make an official statement at our local police department within 24 hours and that miniscule window to secure quality as well as financially affordable, but God bleessed me and gave me 2 exceptiomal men to fight on my behalf with such vigor and determination and I will foreever be full of of the upmost gratitude for my father's efforts and financial assistance/sacrifice and rockstar Attorney Joshua Elbaz clearing me from having to provide a statement and most importantly prosecution in less than 6 hours of providing him much deserved payment for him doing what I thought was impossible and if you are in any way posed with sn even remotely similarly grave and seemingly hopeless legal predicament such as myself and it appears like your whole future and reputation is about to be completely destroyed and you unavoidably sent to prison despite being innocent over some demonicallly influenced woman's baseless accusations gleefully made against you, I CANNOT stress that Attorney Joshua Elbaz is the best council for you becauae he is the reason I can sleep soundly and why I can even type out such an honest and highly regarded recommendation for you to make the best decisiom you could ever make like i just did and promptly choose him as your Defense Attorney–you will NOT regret it.

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. I got his number and texted him that I was in a legal situation and wanted to see if he could talk. I hadn’t talked... to him in 10 years but he immediately called me to see what had happened and offered advice and his services if I needed it. His expertise and care immediately showed and it was an easy decision. Throughout the process he was always there whenever I texted or called and affirmed me from the first phone call to resolution that everything would be ok. He got me the absolute best deal that was available and my situation is now being resolved. He did exactly what he said he was going to do from the first call. I would recommend Elbaz & Elbaz to anyone looking for a caring lawyer who is full of expertise that will do the best job possible.

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 ...there was nothing they can do, Mr. Elbaz was there ready to fight for me. Even with the short notice he fought hard and ended up getting me probation with NO prison time and chance at life again. Also work a wonderful deal with me on the Retainment fee can’t be grateful enough!!!!!!
