Elchonon Reizes

I came to Ely from pretending to be a big firm in Washington DC who deliberately deceived me for months. They were plainly dishonest. Although they were charging lots of money, they were careless and unreachable. I had more headaches with them than the agency I was fighting, I was exhausted. I finall...y decided to leave them for my sanity and I chose Ely. I am glad I did. Ely was nice at the first call. It has been so relieving to have this peaceful experience with him. He answers my calls, listens to me attentively, and ensures that I understand. He is gentle, honest, down to earth, and treats me with dignity. He is a nice person who respects his profession, he does not build a wall between you and him. More importantly, he has your best interest in mind, he does not put himself first. He values your case, he will represent you, and will fight for you to win where merit is. I highly recommend attorney Ely to any federal employee who is looking for effective representation. Kudos Attorney Ely!

I hired Ely to represent me in an EEO case. I was quite nervous about the case because I had never been through the process before. Ely though in the early part of his career made me feel at ease because he took such a hands on approach with me. He listened carefully to my story, walked me through... the steps of the EEOC process, explained in laymen's terms what employment law aspects were involved, and shared his experience navigating the process. He was honest about my situation and advised on what he could and couldn’t do. He helped me through a very difficult time in my life and I am forever grateful for his legal expertise.

When I contacted the MSPB I was not sure how it worked. I suppose they select an attorney for you. I was given Ely Reizes, ESQ. I was skeptical at first not knowing if paying for an attorney would be a good idea, I just didn’t want the representative from my organization to represent me because of de...aling with them in the past they aren’t fair and impartial. At first i was a little bit unsure as if Mr. Reizes had my best interest at heart. However he was understanding, and was dedicated towards my case. He was available and attentive. He made sure that he did his research before any conversation and the mediation. His attention and services were very professional. He has a balance of professionalism, compassion and kindness. He treated me with dignity and respect through a tough and difficult situation. Thank you Ely for your hard work and dedication. I would recommend his services

From the first time I spoke with Elchonon (aka Ely), I knew I wanted him and his firm to represent me against a very powerful federal agency's actions. Ely was the fifth lawyer I consulted, but the only one I wanted on my side. Ely's ability to grasp onto the details of my case from the beginning was... uncanny, and his attention to my story and my goals was refreshing. Throughout the case, Ely kept me in the loop, worked with me constantly to reassess and reevaluate my options, and most importantly, worked with me financially so I won't go bankrupt while fighting injustice. Even on the rare occasions when he was not available, he made sure to call me back right away or have another attorney from his firm ready to step in. I got to know Ely and learn about his family (virtually, of course, since he is not based in my State), and appreciated his loyalty and sense of righteousness. I was able to work with him on every detail of my case, to include court submissions, deadlines, and options. Although extremely humble and soft-spoken, his defense was fierce and fearless, resulting in a very reasonable settlement of my case. Thank you Ely for restoring my faith in the system, and for the chance to know there are still good people willing to fight for the underdog. Thank you for making this battle less lonely and scary for me. I consider your a friend.
