Excellent Lawyer

I truly believe you are in good hands if Mr Doraid Elder takes on your case. In my experience with him, he was extremely knowledgeable and precise about the case proceedings dealing with my issue as he is well respected by all the judges. He is very reasonable when it comes to money and puts you at... ease from start to finish and I very highly recommend him.

FEARLESS AND VERY EFFECTIVE

DORAID ELDER SAVED MY LIFE. I MADE A BIG MISTAKE AND IT WAS ON VIDEO. IN COURT HE WAS ABLE TO CONVINCE THE JURY THAT I AM NOT A CAREER CRIMINAL AND THEY FOUND ME NOT GUILTY. THE PROSECUTOR WAS SO MAD. DORAID KNOWS WHO TO TALK TO PEOPLE AND HE IS SINCERE AND VERY SMART. HIS IS THE BEST TRIAL ATTO...RNEY AND HE IS VERY AFFORDABLE. THE JUDGE HAS SO MUCH RESPECT FOR DORAID ELDER.

DUI/ OUIL/DRUNK DRIVING -------NOT GUILTY :))))))))

HE IS AN AMAZING TRIAL LAWYER! DORAID ELDER WAS ABLE TO DESTROY THE PROSECUTOR'S CASE BECAUSE HE WENT THE EXTRA MILE AND DISCOVERED PRIOR DISHONESTY BY THE POLICE OFFICER THAT ARRESTED ME. THE JURY WAS DISGUSTED WITH THE POLICE OFFICERS AND BECAUSE OF DORAID ELDER I WAS FOUND NOT GUILTY AND I WAS AB...LE TO KEEP MY LIFE IN ORDER. HE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY. THE JURY LOVED HIM EVEN THOUGH THE JUDGE WAS A JERK AND TRIED TO HELP OUT THE POLICE. DORAID WAS SMARTER THAN ALL OF THEM. I INTERVIEWED 3 DIFFERENT ATTORNEYS AND THE MAIN REASON WHY I HIRED ELDER WAS BECAUSE HE WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD SHOW ME HE GOES TO TRIAL ON HIS CASES EVERY SINGLE YEAR AND NOT LIKE OTHER LAWYERS WHO RUSH TO PLEA. IF YOU WANT THE BEST HIRE DORAID. HE EVEN GAVE ME A PAYMENT PLAN AND I WAS PAID IN FULL BEFORE THE TRIAL.

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.
