    Responsive and Knowledgeable Attorney

    Posted by

    I needed professional assistance in a hurry and Kurt was on the job the same day. He is extremely knowledgeable and was able to guide me in the right direction. I'm a Family Law attorney and a real estate broker, but even so, I needed someone who could advise me with expert knowledge in a high asset transaction. Kurt was ready with answers. I highly recommend him!

    Smart, honest, and knowledgeable

    Kurt is truly the best of the best. We found him through AVVO and reached out to him via email. He responded right away, had a couple of calls and a face to face meeting within a week. He gave us great advice and continues to answer our questions in a sincere and honest manner.

    Very Helpful & Knowledge

    Posted by

    Mr. Elkins was very courteous and helpful, he spent time on the phone with me regarding my issues concerning a Real Estate problem. Even tho he was not able to take my case because of regional laws regarding where I was located, he was still very helpful to me and advise me on what a fair price range to pay for what I need to have done. I would recommend this attorney to anyone who needs one regarding RE issues.

    Excellent advice

    Posted by

    Kurt gave us his time and knowledge. My family’s situation was truly “one of a kind” when other Attorneys basically told us, “good luck,” Kurt provided us with his time and excellent advice. My family feels much more prepared for our Court hearing, thanks to Kurt. His legal advice put us at ease. We are grateful for his knowledge and helping us to prepare for our case. I would recommend you consult with him before trying someone else. I’m glad we did.

    Excellent Advice for a tricky situation

    Posted by

    Kurt has been very prompt and forthcoming with the tenant issue that I have. As a landlord, this is a complicated situation that I am but Kurt is able to be honest, and most importantly simplify what needs to be done. He does a great job in instilling confidence in his patience that everything is under control and take things step by step.

    Real Estate - Excellent consul

    Posted by

    I reached out to Kurt in regards to a home sale, I wanted a second opinion on some things. I explained my situation to Kurt, he listened attentively and said he would look over my documents and would be contacting me the following day in the afternoon, he actually contacted me the next morning which I appreciated as the documents needed to be signed and moved along. Kurt is easy to converse with and puts things into laments terms, straight forward and direct, he answered all my questions, he later replied to an email with a little more follow up and clarification on a couple items, which I also appreciated. excellent consultation. I feel Kurt practices law with honesty, Integrity and will look out for his clients best interest, If I do end up needing an attorney, I will retain him and I will recommend him to friends & family, great Attorney.
