I was very impress Attorney Elkie gave me his email address. I am not always able to take calls during working hours. This gave me an additional way to communicate with him. He always returned phone calls when he promised. Attorney Elkie handled my photo radar traffic ticket promptly and with satisfactory outcome. Attorney Elkie was very professional and I would highly recommend his services.
Mr. Elkie was polite, knowledgeable and very helpful. I am from NJ and called him regarding speeding violations I received while on vacation in AZ. He was well aware and experienced with my type of situation and helped me accordingly.
Thank you!!

FANTASTIC ATTORNEY!!
I would like to start by saying that Tait is a top notch attorney who knows the criminal justice system well. He is extremely intelligent, dilligent, hard working and has a sincere interest in every case and client. I am a former police officer who was charged with a serios felony and was more than impressed with the work Tait put into my case. My case was dismissed and I now have my life back thanks to Tait. I owe him a lot! This is an attorney who has a very, very bright future. He's one of the best! He was referred to me by a very big and reputable law firm in Phoenix and I would certainly recommend Tait for anyone who wants the best representation possible. He is everything you want in an attorney.

Highly Recommend
I was most impressed with Mr. Elkie as an attorney and it feels great to finally encounter a great and professional legal mind with integrity who I can call now when I need legal help.
I sent in an email inquiry about a legal problem and did not expect an answer; however, he responded quickly and resolved my issue very professionally and beyond my expectations. I live out of the State where the issue occured and was beside myself because I did not know the law or understand my options. Mr. Elkie, in one phone call, put my mind at ease at once.
I am very grateful to him for his knowledge and professional, but kind demure. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Elkie highly to anyone who needs a skilled attorney. I usually dread dealing with attorneys; however, Mr. Elkie restores my faith that there are professionals in the legal industry with whom you can trust to research a legal quagmire, then lay-out your options, and resolve your legal issues with solutions that are both affordable and equitable.
Thank you so much Mr. Elkie - I will sleep better at night thanks to you.

Great Advice for Arizona Speeding Ticket, Professional and Courteous
Returned my call before 5 pm same day, even though I had just called around 4:30. He was very informative, especially regarding the Photo-Radar speeding tickets, informing me that the ticket must be personally served (not by mail). This is an impossibility since I am from out of state and no longer actively reside at the address on my license (Parent's address, I'm a graduate student) and therefore I could disregard the ticket notice. Advice was thoughtful and freely offered. Will be suggesting this attorney to my friends at Arizona State!

Impressive
Tait Elkie is an outstanding lawyer with an exceptional understanding of the laws. My DUI case was very a complicated matter which required great attention to detail from every angle. I was absolutely impressed which his approach and analogy. From beginning to end information gathering to build the case was organized, extremely structured and strategic which became affective. His courtroom presence and demeanor drew obvious attention and respect from all parties involved. It was easily recognized that Tait was the person in control of the floor and was proven in the outcome.

"I have had a once in a lifetime opportunity in working for Tait. I couldn't find a better mentor and attorney to learn from the past couple of years. Tait is an outstanding attorney all around from his office to the courtroom. His attention to detail and trial skills are unmatched and just two of his qualities that I strive to possess myself. If I myself need legal assistance or advice, Tait is the attorney I always go to. You will not find a more trustworthy, thorough, and effective attorney than Tait. He is also pretty good at ping pong too."
