Joel Shue Elsea, for the people!!!

From the moment I spoke on the phone with Mr. Elsea I knew I found the right lawyer for myself!!! The way he made me feel understood and not alone was everything for me. Truly went above and beyond with his service from the very begging till even after all was done. Reminded me that everyone makes mi...stakes but as long as we’re willing to do what’s right everything will work out. Appreciate everything that he’s done for me and my family.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
