Elon Berk

this was a serious case for health insurance fraud, and Mr. Berk managed it skillfully from the outset. We didn't think there was even a remote possibility of getting a favorable settlement, let alone a complete dismissal. But, Mr. Berk managed to get the entire case dismissed. Mr. Berk was extremely responsible, diligent, and strategic throughout the entire process. Shortly after we hired him, Mr. Berk was already working with a private investigator to uncover flaws in the other side's case. Also, we decided to bring in witnesses of our own. Mr. Berk's attention to detail during the witness selection process was impressive; thanks to his skillful questioning and attentiveness, we had the advantage of having great witnesses testify for us. Throughout the stressful legal process, we knew we could count on Mr. Berk to be there for us. He would respond promptly to our questions or worries and offered his expert guidance and support at each stage of the stressful process. We couldn't have asked for a better attorney or outcome of our case.

A+ experience and outstanding service. Elon explained all of the details of criminal case and the documents from court. He explained all of my options during the thing from start to finish.

Elon was my lawyer for my DUI case recently and he did a fantastic job. I was expecting the worse but he was able to work with Johnny Law in order for me to keep my license. I hope nothing happens to me again but if it does then I am contracting Elon again. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He was pretty easy to get in touch with and when he was not available his secretary would always make sure that he would follow up with me at the most in a couple hours. Even though it was only a DUI and something minor I still felt like I got the Presidential treatment from Elon. He is a great guy and I recommend his services to anyone in the unfortunate position of being on the other side of the law.

Elon is the best criminal defense attorney and is in a class all of his own. His strategies are impeccable and the jury was captivated by his speeches. He researched previous cases which in the long term really swayed favor back over to me. Elon painted an amazing picture and at the end of the day mercy was shown upon me. Elon Berk is the attorney you have to have in a Federal case and I highly recommend his services. He is truly one of the more talented lawyers out there now. Thanks again, Elon.

Dmitry and Elon are the County's top criminal lawyers here in Los Angeles. Though my case lasted a little bit longer than usual and was very hard on my family at the end of the day Elon was able to get it dismissed which, is a rarity nowadays. They came highly recommended and I see why. They were professionally at the top of their game and always one step ahead of the prosecution. On a personal level though, they are very friendly and great company to keep since, they can carry on a conversation on almost anything. They are all around genuine good guys that just want to see happy families. Gentlemen, thank you again.

Mr. Berk was very kind to me while he was taking care of my case. He was very responsive and returned all of my phone calls. I highly recommend him.

before hiring, I was offered an option for my case, though Elon would take care of me, but at the end it's all talk. Ended up with the same exact deal I was offered in first place. Showed up 35 minutes late to my final hearing like a bigshot clown. It was something to learn and not repeat in the future after hiring this late puppet.

I hired Mr Burke for a simple investigation after he scared me into the idea of being in trouble when really nothing was there. After I paid him It was almost impossible to get a hold of him. I asked him for updates numerous times to which he never responded. Terrible customer service, and a terrible experience. Still can't believe I was charged for nothing. Mr Berk has never bothered to refund unused retainer while having ignored e -mails and phone calls. Dishonesty at its worst. Just a bunch of "con-artist". I've never heard that a Legal professional can charge large amount of money in Retainer, do absolutely nothing about the case and after all ignoring request for a refund. I would never recommend anyone to retain Mr. Berk's services.

I hired Berk & Gurovich based on a rec from another attorney who shares their offices. My case was unusual as I was falsely accused of elder abuse by my 80 yr.old schizophrenic uncle who claimed I stole his money. The sheriff's deputy who filed the case was a corrupt cop who ignored the fact my uncle was a schizophrenic, had previously tried to file similar charges against my mom, who is institutionalized, & suffers from dementia. This false claim ended up in Airport Court by Lax, assigned to an asst. DA. The reason I hired & had faith in their skills & assumed their abilities to get this bogus claim dismissed quickly, was because how much Berk boasted how well they're "connected" in the court, knowing the sheriff's lead deputy & judges, & Dmitry's bulldog tactics. Nothing could've be further from the truth!! Dmitry shuffled my case to Berk, whom I learned fairly quickly didn't pay attention, write anything down, was always distracted scrolling through his cell, needed constant reminders of the details of my case, plus was never prepared at anytime we had a court date. They were quick to take a $9k retainer, but did nothing proactive to end this case quickly. Berk let it drag out for 8 months because he knew there was no probable cause. He never wrote a case summary so that the asst. DA was aware of the fact that my uncle was a paranoid schizophrenic who suffered from dementia, & had a history of accusing family , care givers & medical staff of theft & or physical abuse. If she had known the facts at our first meeting, she would've been educated & not have wasted the courts time in determining whether or not this case was worthy of a trial. It took 6 months until she was even aware of the details, she bullied Berk @ every informal meeting monthly. He never asserted himself, never had any copies of fiduciary, power of attorney, bank records, nor the fact he was deemed incapable of handling his own financial affairs for over 6 years by the VA where he resides for many years under the care of medical staff. I trusted them that they were professionals who would honor their own words, looking the part in their nice suits & penthouse suite, but that wasn't my experience. Yes, my case was finally dismissed after months of anxiety & Berks lack of integrity, but it was hell. They gave no accounting of their time, so essentially Berk got paid $600/hour to drive to & from the court 8 times at the cost of $9k. Do the math, 600 x 2 hours=1200 x8 + $9600, All he did was clock in, talk briefly to the asst, DA, then set another date for the next month. Only at 1 meeting after 6 months, did she learn the details of my case because she subpoenaed the cop, my uncle, my sister & his care giver. It wasn't until she questioned his care giver that she was enlightened that my uncle was mentally ill, suffering from lifelong paranoia, having hallucinations & accuses everyone of theft. (she wasn't even subpoenaed) so luckily she was their. Berk wasn't even present at that juncture because he felt it wasn't important that he hear their statements!!!!! The care giver called my sister & informed her of the info she provided & that the DA was shocked to learn the truth & facts of his mental condition. 2 months later I received a full dismissal, it was a tremendous relief, I knew I'd be exonerated, but the anxiety until I was, was horrible. When I read other reviews of all the positive experiences others have had with GBA Law, I feel duped because I had such a miserable one. Other reviewers expressed similar issues w/Berks lack of attention & integrity, A few I read were from women w/similar stories. Perhaps he thinks women are stupid & don't pick up on his lack of integrity. I wish I had a good experience & could post a 5 star review, but my association w/them forced me to report them to the Bar Assoc.& file a complaint w/the Fee Arbitrators, & post bad reviews.

Elon Berk is not fit to be called a lawyer. In my son's hearings he hardly showed up but charged me $20,000 for doing nothing. He did nothing to defend him. All I got was excuses. He never even listened when I told him my son was innocent. He never went to see him or spoke to him only HE decided what to do. He never listened to me or my son. My son got convicted because of this bad attorney. Do not hire him. All he wants is money and if you are poor, God help you.

Elon Berk is one of the worst Criminal attorneys in the Los Angeles County. If you do not want to get convicted, do your self a favor , Do not hire him. He will not listen to his client nor anyone who knows the client. He wants to be in the good graces of the district attorney. He does nothing to protect you, his client.
