About Eliot
Biography
For 40 years I have been representing consumers who have been deceived by businesses, tenants who have been wrongfully evicted by landlords, employees who have been terminated because of their race, sex, age or disability, and individuals whose civil rights have been violated by governmental and private actors. And for over 20 years I have been teaching and mentoring law school students and graduates to do the same. I welcome your inquiries.

Need a good attorney
