Truly the Best!

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Chris Elliott. Clearly, divorce is not something any of us look forward to, but that being said, Chris handled my case with sensitivity, insight, and professionalism. He listened to my concerns then developed strong answers based on history and... knowledge of the judges, and courts. He guided me through the divorce process seamlessly. Also, and probably most importantly, the outcome of my divorce was far better than I had hoped. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone seeking an outstanding lawyer. Not only is Chris the best, but his team is amazing too!

Great Lawyer Yes but also a Great Advisor!

When you are going through the toughest in your life, you need the expertise and professional help you seek to be exactly that - expert & professional. Chris exemplifies both. He understands the objective of the discourse, has your best interest in mind, and keeps your long term future needs in persp...ective. Chris has been a great lawyer, consultant and advisor. I have been fortunate to have Chris to represent me through the toughest of times.

A Great Lawyer

Ending a 36-year marriage was the most traumatic event of my life. Chris Elliott guided me through the process, explained the relevant law, never lost his equanimity, and never lost sight of the objective: a settlement I could live with. Nobody wins a divorce. But I came as close as anyone: I got wh...at I wanted. Chris predicted every move by opposing counsel. I worked with him for a year and I saw what he was made of. He is a man of character, a man who loves the law, and I man I would rush to retain again if - God forbid - I ever again go through this. Today I am proud to call Chris Elliott my friend.

The best!

I am delighted to share with others who may need legal counsel my experience with Chris Elliott as my divorce attorney. As the legal battles started, I realized fairly quickly that I had the best team looking out for my interests. I could not have had better representation! From depositions to tr...ial and post settlement agreements .. every single issue was ruled in our favor. I realize even more in hindsight how skilled Chris is when issues came up and were settled quickly because he had taken care of any possible issue in advance. Bright, compassionate but tough, and always looking out for me. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chris and will call on him again if the need arises.

Outstanding Divorce Attorney

Chris Elliott was my God send. He came highly recommended by a friend who was extremely pleased with the outcome of her divorce. Chris is dedicated to the practice of divorce law which makes him extremely knowledgeable. His thoroughness and attention to detail went beyond my expectations. Chris w...as very successful in getting me the best possible settlement in my case. He was worth every dollar that my ex had to pay as part of my settlement. I would highly recommend him to my family and friends.
