Easy to talk to

I had to contact a lawyer on behalf of my employer. Which is a bit out of my comfort zone. He was patient and respectful while I outlined what was going on. I appreciate him making this a simple and easy process.

Quick, Excellent and Thorough Advice

I reached out to Rich via a website inquiry and he responded within 30 minutes and then followed up with a call, and, after 7pm. We needed some advice on whether or not we have a case against a mortgage company attempting to sue my boyfriend for a mortgage loan he never signed (a family member signe...d his name). Since the case would be in MD, Rich was unable to help us as he's only licensed to practice in AZ. Which makes it even better that he took the time to talk me through what steps we need to take, when and how with absolutely no benefit to him. I really wish we could hire Rich because if so, I'd immediately have trusted him to take care of us! I am thoroughly impressed.

Caring, Fair and Commited to Helping his Clients

We called (and hired) Rich Elley on a Monday and he resolved our unjustified tenant eviction problem by Wednesday. He is not a 9-5 attorney and works to fix the problem – not to just put in his 8 hours a day. He’s like the leading character in a movie from decades ago…he really cared about our situ...ation. Rich promptly answered emails AND his fee was very fair. It’s obvious that Rich is very well-liked by his peers and the officials he interacts with in the various Courts. Additionally, Rich helped us with a second issue unrelated to his usual line of expertise. Again, accomplished very quickly. We would not hesitate to seek his help again or to freely recommend him to others.

BEST ATTORNEY EVER!!!!!

I was in a bind to get my ex boyfriend to sell our house and give me half or just buy me out and he refused to. This went on for several years until I found Rich. Though I live out of state and never met him in person he did awesome work and made things so easy for me to understand. Even with the ...time difference is was not a problem being able to get in touch with him. Compassionate and thoughtful he really cared about what I was dealing with. Thank you so much for all your hard work on my case.

"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."

"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."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
