White Collar Crime 35%

A general definition of fraud is a false representation of a material fact, by words or conduct, by false or misleading contentions, or by concealment which should have been disclosed, which deceives or intended to deceive. There are a variety of categories of fraud that are illustrated in this section. Fraud can be charged as a State case or in Federal Court. Usually, the punishment for criminal fraud charges depends on the complexity of the fraud and the monetary loss due to the fraud

Best Criminal Attorney in Los Angeles

Elon Berk was able to help me to dismiss my case. He was very professional and treated me like a family member. Always on time and never missed a court appointment. I highly recommend him if you are looking for an experienced criminal defense attorney in Los Angeles area!

Posted by doesn't matter | May 05, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

All talk, no action. 35 minutes late too.

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 t...he future after hiring this late puppet.

Posted by Susan | October 28, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Mr. Elon Berk is the BEST Lawyer!

Mr. Elon Berk was outstanding to have by our side, he's educated, well-rounded, and he knows his stuff! Elon's ability to show a level of compassion and honesty is very reassuring, he explained everything about the process, we followed his recommendations, he keeps in contact with us regarding the ca...se, Elon and his staff were always on top of court dates/proceedings and was quick to follow up on any matters that came up. Elon goes above and beyond for his clients and gets results, he is a brilliant lawyer, well respected and fair fee.

Elon Berk

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 decide...d 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.
