As a lawyer, Elliot has tried to provide vigorous advocacy within strict ethical guidelines. He treasures his reputation for honesty and professionalism. Neither of those are inconsistent with being an advocate for his clients. He believes strongly in settling cases, when possible, but has tried several hundred cases over his more than thirty-eight year career. He never forgets that in almost every case he is affecting the lives of innocent children who love both parents. He believes that children must be protected in these proceedings.

Legal Intelligence & Personal Integrity
Well worth his fees. Professional, efficient, honest and tenacious. He is soft-spoken and has a sharp-wit and, I believe, feels genuine empathy for his clients. He knows how to handle the 'bulldog' attorneys with legal intelligence and personal style and he wins! Case closed :)
