Rich Elly gave me a feeling of confidence immediately upon speaking with him. He took the time to explain things, often more than once which I really appreciated when I was feeling overwhelmed with facts.

What can I say, a smart, personable and a fun guy. My wife and I were blessed to find a caring and highly talented attorney. We will always consider Rich a friend.
"Richard is an extremely focused, intelligent, and dedicated lawyer. I have known him for several years and have asked him for his trusted advice on multiple occasions. I highly recommend Richard to anyone who is need of an attorney."
"Richard Elley is a thoughtful and intelligent attorney and I know that he is a hard worker. I have always been impressed by his professionalism and I would recommend consulting with him for legal services."
"Richard's business acumen is unique among attorneys in Arizona. Most attorneys know the law fairly well and some of them are personable. Richard, though, has nearly a decade of experience in the mortgage industry, he knows the law, AND he is personable. I know he will be the first person I call when I organize my business. I strongly suggest you call Richard for a consult, you will not regret it."
"Richard Elley is an excellent choice for an attorney, no matter what your legal needs, but especially when dealing in areas of business, real estate, landlord/tenant issues, and/or litigation. I've known Richard for many years now and would encourage anyone needing legal assistance in AZ to get in touch with him prior to settling for another attorney."
"I've known Richard since law school. Calm and collected with a wealth of experience before and after school, Richard is someone you can count on. He's a good man and a great professional."
"I endorse Richard Elley. Richard was a former colleague of mine and always demonstrated a great deal of professionalism, preparation, and knowledge in the task at hand."
"I have referred several individuals to Richard who were in need of legal help surrounding various legal matters touching on property. I have heard nothing but positive feedback from those individuals I have referred to him."
"I have worked with Richard for the past four years, and in that time have come to rely on him to assist me with my real estate work. He is very knowledgeable in many facets of real estate, including mortgages, title issues, undisclosed defects and liens. He is also my go-to guy for residential and commercial evictions. He is always looking for a good solution for his clients, whether that be litigation, mediation, or some other way to resolve disputes. I like that he is always focused on the best result for the client, and getting to that result as quickly and efficiently as possible."
