Review Elliot Sokoloff

Excellent Insurance Settlement in Record Time

Posted by

I know Elliot through my BNI networking group. I went to him for help when I was involved last summer in a serious accident with an uninsured motorist who failed to yield right of way. My car was totaled and I had several injuries, my shoulder requiring surgery. Elliot put me at ease with the medical claims, he is an expert with those. I felt in good hands. He negotiated excellent settlements with the medical providers and the insurance company. His partner, Seth Weinstein, was very professional also. I would hire them again in an instant.

Elliot helped me with a personal injury case after a car accident. His knowledge was essential in helping me understand what was going on and how to best proceed. He helped me get an amazing settlement offer far exceeding what I expected.

Very professional

Drew up wills, living wills, trust and such to help make sure our kids were taken care of if anything were to happen to us. Very professional with a phone consult to outline what we wanted, drafted the paperwork then had us come in to sign everything.

Legal Services

Posted by

Recently we were in need of legal assistance as our Home Builder denied our request for property tax re-proration reimbursement as outlined in the purchase agreement. After consulting with Elliot, he immediately reviewed all the home purchase and closing documents. Elliot then drafted an opinion letter that was sent to the Builder. Within a few weeks, the Builder notified us that they were reversing their decision and within a few weeks after that, we received a check for full reimbursement. If it were not for Elliott’s comprehensive research, thorough review of documents and very well written opinion Letter, we would not have received the monies owed to us. If you ever in need of legal services, I highly recommend Elliott! Best Attorney!

I couldn't ask for better representation

Posted by

I'll start this review by saying I needed legal help at one of the worst times to need help; Christmas Eve. So I emailed several firms. Elliot Sokoloff was the only lawyer that not only replied, he called and agreed to help me and my wife close on a house on the day after Christmas. Elliot went so far as to even drop one of his personal appointments to attend our closing and coach us through the entire process. He did all this on an extremely short notice. And when I say helped, he sat with us reviewing our documents and explained everything to us so we understood. He really went to bat for us when we needed it when other firms would not. He is very thorough and always had our best interest in mind. I highly recommend Elliot Sokoloff of Sokoloff & Weinstein. You will not be disappointed. They will have all of my future legal needs handed to them

Highly recommend for Wills, Power of Attorney and legal matters

Posted by

My wife and I were in need of creating a Will, power of attorney and Living will on short notice due to a legal plan soon to expire with my retirement from my long term employer. I did an extensive 2 day search with local firms that were reputable in a 25 mile radius of my home in West Palm Beach Area. We ultimately selected Sokoloff & Weinstein as they stood out above several other firms I spoke as that provided clear and precise communications over the phone on exactly the services they could provide me before an onsite consultation to assure me they could meet my criteria including my escalated timeline of completion requirement. Elliot Sokoloff, the attorney that took care of me, exceeded my expectations. Here is a list of reasons why I really liked them: - Elliot was very responsive during phone and email communications leading up to the consultation and completion of the artifacts - Sokoloff & Weinstein were provided far better confidence and assurances of their familiarity and expertise with processing and invoicing through my Hyatt Legal plan than other lawyers I had spoken with that were recommended. - Elliot clearly explained the technical details before I selected them (at no charge) - so I knew exactly what I would or wouldn't be getting. - Elliot was exceptional in providing us clear explanations and significance of each of the documents and updating them accordingly on our discussed changes. - Elliott met with both my wife and I for an initial consultation where he provided excellent recommendations and legal advice considerations best suited for our circumstance. - Never once was any up-sales pitch suggested for additional out of pocket services and cost I highly recommend Sokoloff & Weinstein and Mr. Elliot Sokoloff in particular!!

Honesty and integrity combined with knowledge and experience. Elliot is one of the few lawyers who exhibits ALL of these qualities. He is an exceptional attorney with a passion for helping the injured.

Catherine Cole, Business Attorney on May 2, 2017
Relationship: Worked together on matter

In an area of law where there are a lot of greedy and unscrupulous lawyers, Mr. Sokoloff stands heads and shoulders above the rest. His high moral and ethical standards are seconded only by his knowledge of the law. I have worked with on several matters and have no issue referring clients, and even family, to Mr. Sokoloff.

Daniel Haverman, Car accident Attorney on Oct 27, 2016
Relationship: Worked together on matter

I endorse this lawyer. I consulted with Elliot on a complex litigation matter involving two major corporations. Elliot developed a strategy to bring both companies to the negotiating table wherein the parties were able to reconcile the matter without litigation. Elliot did a great job.

Jeffrey Lampert, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Jan 22, 2015
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

I am pleased to endorse Elliot Sokoloff for personal injury practice. I have known him for more than fifteen years and know him to be a talented and diligent attorney who works hard for his clients' interests. A real professional in every respect.

Brian LaBovick, Personal injury Attorney on Aug 24, 2014
Relationship: Worked together on matter

It is easy to see that Elliot's Ivy League education paid off when working with him on a case. He knows the law and is always prepared with a complete understanding of every inch of his cases. He also has a close connection with his clients. This combination of high intelligence and deep caring is the "best of the best" trait that makes me confident when recommending or cocounseling a case with Elliot.

Richard Weinstein, Bankruptcy and debt Attorney on Aug 7, 2014
