For every Business idea I would share with Mr.Elhouty, he would always have a supporting ideas or ways to improve my ideas; by far the best business consultant I’ve ever had.

Knowledgeable and able to explain things simply.

I had my trust done by Mr. Elhouty and it was one of the best choices I've made. I am confident that all my bases are covered. Not only did he take the time to talk all the details over, I never felt rushed. I would recommend Mr. Elhouty to any one in need of estate planing.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
