Great lawyer / office

Doraid was very helpful and knowledgable. Was able to give me the right information at the right time. Helped me with my case and would recommend him to anyone! Very caring and genuinely wants the best. His assistants and co workers were also helpful and useful when he was busy.

There is no one better

Doraid Elder is the best Criminal Defense Attorney there is. I am currently finishing up my last semester of law school so I have been exposed to the top legal minds in this State. I say this with complete sincerity, there is no one better than Doraid. Walk into any courthouse with him and you'll fin...d judges, lawyers, and clerks beaming from cheek to cheek and greeting him by name. This happens because he is very good with people. He is genuine and he'll tell you how it is. To be successful in this profession, you need to know how to deal with people. Doraid is extremely successful because not only does he have an exceptional ability to get the right person to hear him out, but he also has one of the top legal minds around and he is VERY persuasive. When Doraid wants to be heard, he will be. He is demanding when he needs to be, and he's very respected throughout the State. I am constantly approached by friends that need a Criminal Defense Attorney, and without a second thought I refer them to Doraid. Doraid is the only person I would trust with my life on the line. I have before, and I will again. He has come through for me every single time. I have found myself in some pretty unfortunate situations, and each time I had so much to lose. But as soon as Doraid Elder would walk into that courtroom, I was overcome with confidence that he would bring me justice. There is no one better than Doraid. I will say that over and over. I've personally seen him prevail in a very rigorous murder trial. The way he worked the court room was incredible. It is very rare to see someone as respected as he is by judges and prosecutors. I've seen him convince judges and prosecutors to agree to hear him out. I have seen him convince judges to make decisions that are considered "the first in their career." He does this by fighting for what's right, and being relentless when he knows an injustice is taking place. He gets what he wants because he's driven by what's right. The best part about him is that he'll get the job done. He's absolutely brilliant. The best in the profession, and I am honored to have had him fight on my side. Highly recommended to anyone that needs to fight a criminal charge. Taking into account all the people he knows, his personality, and his exceptional knowledge of the law, it would not make sense to go anywhere else. I am graduating law school this year, and I hope to be half as good as Doraid Elder. And trust me, I am not the only person that feels this way about him. There are MANY MANY more.

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.

The Jury Loved him during my trial! Very well respected by all the Judges!

I was charged with very serious felonies. While in court I was amazed at the amount of respect many judges and prosecutors gave Mr. Elder. We had to go to trial in my case and Doraid Elder 'kicked ass'. The jury found me not guilty after a 3 long week trial. Doraid is the real deal! When your li...fe is on the line he is the medicine you need. God bless him and his team. Honest, Smart, Tough, and Strategic.
