Practice Areas

Litigation 50%

Business and Real Estate related litigation is my specialty. However, my practice has included litigation cases in many, many different areas of the law.

Foreclosure 20%

Given my expertise in the area of real property law, I am able to provide excellent advise and superior results with regard to foreclosures. For example, I can assist with Landlord-Tenant issues related to foreclosures, and have done so to maintain possession for a homeowner without a lease for more than four months and still counting.

17 years | 3 cases

Real Estate 20%

My greatest expertise lies in the area of real property law. I can handle litigation or provide specialized advice as to transactions or lawsuit/dispute resolution.

Contracts and Agreements 5%

My 25 years of experience includes drafting of hundreds of contracts or agreements of many different types and from the most simple to the highly complex.

Elder Law 4%

The Elderly have become prime targets, especially in real estate transactions. I am skilled in litigation of elder abuse claims.

17 years | 3 cases

4%
Appeals 1%

Appellate work is an outgrowth of my primary litigation practice. Skill in this area is important as a litigation attorney must "protect the record" for purposes of appeal, which often times provides leverage for post-trial case resolution.

Posted by James | February 20, 2011 | Foreclosure

Professional all the way with results

Retained to handle (1) an appeal from a condo assn foreclosure; (2) an action involving a non-judiacial foreclosure with related unlawful detainer for a different property; and (3) two unlawful detainer action(s) related to a commericial property. As to the latter commerical cases, both resulted i...n our favor, and therefore we achieved an extremely favorable settlement . The non-judicial case is pending and the owner has not been successful in obtaining possession in the the unlawful detainer action for four months. In fact, the owner has not yet been able to get a trial date. Mr. Elwell is excellent in understanding the problem and applying the law at the beginning so we have saved both time and money. Our company recommends him highly.
