Living Trust Review
Elliot helped us with a living trust and was very responsive to our needs. He spoke to my family member as if it was his own and in very understandable terms. I would strongly reccomend Elliot and greatly appreciate all of his efforts. He went out of his way for us and gave 110% to make the outcome...
"I have no reservations whatsoever endorsing Elliot. And as a result I send any of my clients with business, estate planning, and related needs to him. He is intelligent, diligent, creative, and highly efficient. His clients are fortunate to have him."
"Elliot is an exceptionally talented attorney. Not only does he have a wealth of knowledge from both his financial and legal backgrounds, but he is able to easily connect with clients so as to effectively communicate. I have worked with him on multiple issues and have always been highly impressed with his highly-technical knowledge of the law and his ability to think creatively to find solutions to issues. Elliot is a problem-solver. I emphatically endorse him for any and all business or estate planning needs."
"I endorse Elliot as a great attorney. He is very knowledgeable, skilled, meticulous, and cares a lot about those he represents. I don't know of any other attorney that will devote as much thought, attention, and effort to your issue as Elliot does. He is a great guy, and a great attorney."
"Elliot is a knowledgeable, bright, hard-working attorney. His background and experience in tax, estate planning and business are invaluable to his clients. Elliot is also friendly, pleasant person to be around."
"I have worked with Elliot in the same office. Elliot is a fantastic estate planning lawyer. He is always thinking about his clients and how to serve them better. He watches changing legal, business, and tax conditions, and considers how they affect his clients. His work is very particular to every client -- he is not a boilerplate lawyer. I would recommend my family to him for their estate plan."
"Elliot is an entrepreneur at heart and understands the ups and downs of starting and growing a company. He has a fine tuned business sense and can ably handle complex transactions. He's a wonderful, and seemingly rare, combination of attorney and CPA who is capable of understanding and analyzing the most intricate legal/business problems while also being a great people person. If I need to talk with someone about business, tax, or other legal issues, Elliot is at the very top of my list."
"Elliot has exceptional knowledge of tax laws. His experience as both an attorney and certified public accountant provide him with a unique perspective that very few lawyers possess. He provided litigation support for one of my large lawsuits and was instrumental in recognizing important details that might have otherwise gone unrecognized. I highly recommend him."
"Elliot worked for years at a Big Four international accounting firm, which results in valuable experience that most lawyers don't have. He is an extremely competent and knowledgeable attorney."
