WOW!

Elan is a beast in the court room. Extremely professional. Over the past year this man has successfully represented me in 4 cases. 3 of which were felonies. I was hesitant at first and didn't want to say the wrong things. He immediately made me feel extremely comfortable and assured me client confide...ntiality. His communication and contact with me was perfect. He is extremely smart and helped me to understand everything that was going on. I was extremely overwhelmed and was facing serious charges. He treated me with respect and worked above and beyond to help me. Today he got my last case dismissed and I feel like I can finally breath again. Like I said this man is extremely good at what he does. He is a modest and quit person that handles his business like the pro he is. I cannot say enough about my experience working with him. Best day I've had in a long timw. This man saved my freedom. He is a hero. Thank you again Elan. Highly highly recommend.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Elan is a smart, charming, and talented attorney. He gained a lot of trial skills and training as a former prosecutor. He was a fair and tough prosecutor to go against. The DAs office still greatly respects Elan and his trial skills, which translates to great results for his clients. I actually hire Elan as co-counsel on some of my cases. Any client would be lucky to hire Elan."

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"If you have a criminal charge in Fort Bend County, you could not ask for a better lawyer than Elan Levy. The years of experience he gained at the Ft. Bend County District Attorney's Office earned him the respect he deserves around the courthouse from judges, prosecutors, court staff and now fellow defense attorneys. He is intelligent, well-spoken, charismatic and will fight cases to the end--the kind of lawyer you want in your corner."

"I endorse this lawyer.He is extremely smart, understands all the issues, puts his client first. As a former prosecutor, he understands the case from both sides. He has a great ability to analyze a case and decipher the main legal and factual issues. He knows how to talk to the prosecutors and how to convince a jury. In my opinion based on my 42 years of experience, it is my opinion he is a great lawyer and person"

"I was lucky enough to intern for Elan while still in law school at the DA's office. While working under him, I had a unique perspective of how Elan approaches every legal matter that is presented to him. Elan's command of the law and ability to apply it is sure to make you happy you hired him as your attorney. If I were to ever need a criminal defense attorney, Elan would be the first person I would call."

Relationship: Co-worker

"Elan was my court partner when we were prosecutors at the Fort Bend County District Attorney's Office. I am still grateful for the chance to work with him. His mentorship, professionalism, and critical thinking defined for me what it means to be a good lawyer. He has an uncanny knack of vetting issues in a way I still try to perfect. His no-stone-left-unturned approach to analyzing issues taught me what courtroom preparedness means. He takes that same analytical approach to the other aspects of his cases - from assessing a case's strength to detailed cross and direct examinations to razor-sharp closing arguments. I am lucky to have had the chance to learn from him."
