Fantastic lawyer

Without Cliff I would have spent months and a TON of stress to fight the insurance company. Cliff was amazing. He was straight forward and isn’t in it just for the money. Best lawyer I’ve ever had.

The Best of The Best!

Cliff's simplicity, cut to the chase and get it done attitude was refreshing! A great, very experienced attorney that knows and has worked with the toughest of insurance company adjusters, lawyers and he gets it done quickly! I highly recommend Cliff to take your case if you want a great attorney!...

Definitely Recommend!!!

It has been a long battle with the insurance company. The insurance company has been fighting everything on my case. It wasn't until I met with cliff and he took over my case that I finally started to see my case going somewhere. Cliff is always well prepared and knows every detail of my case every t...ime I request to meet with him. His office calls me from time to time to get an update on how I’m doing. He is a very caring attorney. I had an urgent matter and he made time to meet with me on a weekend, although it is outside of his business hours. I would definitely recommend Cliff. He is not only a great attorney, but a very caring person.

Best Decision, Hiring Cliff Eley

I was hurt on the job and wasn't sure if I should hire a lawyer or not. After speaking to some co-workers it seemed that I may not get a fair shake from my employers regarding the injury. I contacted Cliff and much to my surprise he answered the phone personally on an early Monday morning. Strange, I... thought that a lawyer would be answering his own phone. But, after meeting with Cliff, I came to understand that this is the type of personal service that you can come to expect from Cliff and his staff. After getting some treatment towards the injury, suddenly the insurance company was refusing my claim. Cliff kept digging for information and we were headed for a hearing when he called me and found that they insurance company had somehow been given disinformation about my claim. Cliff resolved the situation with the insurance company and it's legal staff and we were not required to attend a hearing and I was reinstated for continuing medical treatment to try to resolve the injury problem. I travel quite a bit, sometimes working long hours and I would be surprised when I would receive a call on the weekends from Cliff, giving me an update or letting me know if I had to come by and sign paperwork, etc. If I had not hired Cliff, I would not have had the resources or the knowledge to combat the misinformation that the insurance company was using to deny my claim. Cliff is always there if I need him and has protected and advised me through his expertise in the workers compensation world. Best decision I made.......hiring Clifford Eley. I would recommend Cliff in a heartbeat!

"Mr. Eley is one of the smartest and most effective lawyers I know. He has the unique ability to resolve cases quickly and get great results for his clients. His ability to resolve cases quickly and get great results is based on the fact that he is always well prepared and a great trial lawyer if the matter cannot be settled prior to trial.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I have known Mr. Eley for many years, and we have represented clients on different sides in workers' compensation claims. Mr. Eley is a zealous advocate for his clients, but always is respectful and trustworthy in our cases. Mr. Eley is also a worthy adversary at trial, and presents a very disciplined and persuasive case. He makes any defense counsel be on his/her toes. Yet, Mr. Eley is able to work in a collaborative way to resolve issues that should be resolved without having to go to trial. I highly recommend Mr. Eley."
