This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Amazing Team Work

Steven Elia and his team ( Holly and Garrett), were amazing in being so responsive and on top of every single step. Steven was very professional, honest and had a high empathy. He was always available to answer any questions we had and was a great help with all the details. Your attention to my cas...e has allowed me to focus on what's most important to me and my family, our safety and happiness. It's a pleasure working with you, Steven. Steven and his team communicated consistently with me throughout the entire process until the case was resolved. I recommend Elia Law Firm for anyone seeking legal representation.

Diamond in the rough

Breaking the law. Everyone is gonna do it at least once in their lives, some people making bigger mistakes then others. Call it a rebellious stage, young & stupid, call it inevitable. I made a mistake. A few mistakes... These days lawyers come a dime a dozen. Most are greedy little blood sucking t...icks, and sometimes they could make the problem your in even worse. You need to find a real diamond in the rough to help and guide you through this horrible thing called the justice system. I found one. His name's Steve Elia. Where do I start with this guy? He listens, he understands, he cares, and he takes ACTION. All with a nice smile too. I couldn't have found someone more qualified then Mr.Elia to help me with my little problem. Any issue I might encounter with the law ever again (hopefully never), I know I can count on him. He was my guide, my advisor, a confidant and a shoulder to cry on. He fought for me, and won. Need help? Just give him a call. Wish I could give him 100 stars.
