I recommend Roger Elkind 100 % Amazing Lawyer

I received a letter in the mail this year in June from Broward County Court House informing me that I had to attend a zoom meeting with a judge and a lawyer that was representing a client from the bus accident that is injured. When I attended the meeting I was informed that after 3 years of being ...involved in a accident with a Broward County City Bus that hit my vehicle and tore my front bumper off my vehicle and did other damages to my vehicle in the front resulting in a total loss, I was being sued by a man that says he fell down on the bus and was hurt and was receiving treatment from that day the accident in 2017 occurred and the amount of money he is asking for is for medical expenses and a hip surgery. The reason I was being sued is because the officer that responded to the crash in 2017 issued me a ticket for careless driving and wrote on the ticket that I was making a u turn into a moving bus. I was waiting at a complete stop waiting to merge into the lane to go straight, when the bus entered my lane and hit my vehicle. I called Geico to see what they could do to defend me to find to my surprise, I didn’t have bodily insurance, and I was paying on the vehicle so I had my license suspended and I had to fight to have the ticket removed from my record, and they could not defend me against being sued. I had to hire a lawyer. I hired Roger Elkind to defend me. He charged me at a reduced rate, He wrote everything he was doing in detail and time he spent on each task on the invoice he sent me. He always kept me informed on the case and what was happening next. He answered all my questions, and I could call him at any time, he would always return my phone calls. He is a amazing lawyer!!!! Roger is a experienced, and he knows what questions to ask. He was able to prove my innocence in this case. I think how this case could have ruined my life, if taken to trial i would have had to pay more fees and if the case would of not been won I would end up paying a large amount of money to someone that I didn’t cause injury to, and the court suspends your license until the balance is paid in full. I am 100% satisfied with the end result of the case, I was proven not guilty for the accident and I didn’t have to pay any further fees. Thank you again Roger for your hard work and complete dedication to my case. I would recommend you to everyone that needs a lawyer.

A tough lawyer who will defend you!!

Mr. Elkind was my attorney for my DUI case, he's very dedicated and has a strong will to defend you in court. I've gained a lot of confidence in Mr. Elkind on how professional and strategic he was on my case. Mr. Elkind presented 30 years wealth of experience on law, on my case he noticed a lot of er...rors on the police reports and done his research, he works thoroughly in my case and keeps me updated on a daily basis. The state attorney was a fierce competitor, determine to have a DUI and reckless driving in my record. Mr. Elkind fought long and hard for me and as a result I received a reckless driving on my record. Tears of joy came down my face knowing that I have a second chance in life all because of Roger elkind I will never forget the service he has done. In Broward county its tough when it come to DUI cases and you need a tough lawyer like Roger elkind to defend you!!! thank you Rodger for all that you've done now I can resume my life on becoming a Physical Therapist and start a family.

Dependable, Skilled, and Tactful

Roger has helped me with traffic tickets and credit restoration over the past couple of years. He has helped me take a huge mess and consolidate my issues into nonexistence. Without Roger's help I would be lost. He takes his time and answers questions honestly and thoroughly. The 25+ years of experie...nce Roger advertises shows. I recommend him highly to anyone seeking legal advise.

extremely knowledgeable

In may of 2011 I was charged with 4 duis(due to injuries that two motorcyclist sustained and property damage on multiple vehicles) and possession of marijuana.I was looking at one year in jail and my license suspended for five years.Even though I stupidly submitted to road side sobriety test and bre...athalyzer test,Mr Roger Elkind STILL won the case in court due to recognizing the utter incompetence of the officers involved in my cases.Im confident a less experienced attorney would have over seen this blunder and wouldnt have been able to capitalize on it.Unfortunately due to the preponderance of evidence the state had against me they appealed the case and won in appellate court.Even still,Mr Elkind secured me a very generous deal that involved no jail time and a license suspension of only 9 months,significantly better then what i was originally facing.God forbid any of my friends or family find themselves in trouble with the law or need a family or divorce lawyer,I would 100% recommend Mr Elkind to represent them in court.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Roger for over 25 years and have worked on several cases with him. This is a lawyer who cares about his clients and fights to win his criminal law cases. The man is experienced in all facets of criminal law, DUI & traffic ticket defense. He's not afraid to pick a jury and call the state out. That's how you win cases around here. I don't particularly endorse wheelers and dealers who plead out every case, that's why I endorse this lawyer. Roger practices more like my style. He fights to win and takes no prisoners. If you are considering hiring him, do so. You won't be sorry."
