Responsive and knowledgeable
When we were confronted with a brand new car that started having multiple service issues and appeared to be a lemon we didn't know what to do. Elliot was responsive from the get go, returning my calls and emails quickly and guiding us through the process. We are grateful for his expertise and would highly recommend Conn Law for any consumer law issues.

Excellent support with a Chevy Bolt case
I am absolutely delighted to leave a glowing five-star review for Elliot Conn who expertly handled my case involving the Chevy Bolt EV's faulty battery. His in-depth knowledge of both automotive and legal matters was evident throughout the entire process. He navigated the complexities of the situation with finesse and provided me with clear, strategic guidance at every turn. Elliot’s dedication to my case, evident throughout the process, led to a favorable outcome that exceeded my expectations. This lawyer's professionalism, communication skills, and genuine concern for my and my wife’s well-being truly set them apart. If you're in need of a proficient and dedicated legal partner, I wholeheartedly recommend their services.

Exceptional Experience with Elliot Conn
Elliot was thorough and professional from start to finish in my case against Land Rover. I had previously been with another lawyer that had gotten me nowhere and I had almost given up completely. I contacted Elliot and he steered everything back onto the right path and garnered me the settlement that was deserved. I highly recommend Elliot if you're looking for a exceptional lawyer.

Excellent Service
I had numerous issues with my vehicle and did not know how to get it resolved. The car manufacturer was never able to fix the problems after repeated tries. I attempted to give formal notice on my own asking the car manufacturer to buy the vehicle back but was completely ignored. Even when I reached out to attorneys, most of them are not familiar with the Lemon Law and many gave me bad advice. I was fortunate enough to connect with Elliot who provided me with exceptional service and got a resolution to my satisfaction.

Excellent lawyer.
My husband and I consulted with Elliot on a possible Lemon Law case regarding our 4-year-old luxury vehicle. Elliot assisted us with the entire process and helped us succeed in attaining a buy-back from the manufacturer. I would work with Elliot again in the future.

Excellent lawyer!
I recently retained Mr. Elliot Conn for work on a complex “Lemon Law” case. From the outset, Mr. Conn clearly exhibited his expertise and knowledge of the process and system. In the beginning, he carefully explained all of my options, with attendant pros/cons for each. As the case progressed, his communications were clear and very timely. At several points, I needed to quickly approve the next step and he provided excellent, balanced guidance. In my opinion, you would be hard pressed to find a better lawyer in the Consumer Law field.

Highly skilled and conscientious consumer advocate
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Elliot as co-counsel on several cases. Elliot is an outstanding choice to represent people in any consumer case, and especially on claims and class actions against car manufacturers and dealers and banks, and in robo-calling cases. He’s a smart and experienced consumer advocate, conscientious, client-centered, and easy to work with. I highly recommend him.

Brilliant and Supportive Co-Counsel
While consulting with Elliot about a single-plaintiff lawsuit, he came up with an incredibly creative angle to amend the lawsuit into a class action and agreed to co-counsel with me. He is an excellent attorney-- smart, professional, responsive, and a very cogent writer. I learned a lot working with him, would hire him in a second to be my attorney, and truly hope to have an opportunity to co-counsel with him again.

Great counsel on Subaru
My brand new 2019 Subaru lost all power on a crowded freeway. Subaru was unable to find a cause. I was unwilling to continue driving the car and asked for my money back. They refused. Elliot provided excellent counsel, reassuring me that I had a strong case (including uncovering a contractual snafu on Subaru's part that alone would likely have been cause for tearing up the contract). In the end, Subaru responded to our request and bought the car back, so I didn't have to take legal action. I am indebted to Eliot for his counsel in helping us get a satisfying resolution.

Lemon law case
I bought a new 2014 Jeep Cherokee which needed an engine replacement among other things. Although Chrysler stepped up to the plate eventually without the help of Elliot, he gave me the assurance that I had a strong case and walked me through the steps to proceed. Once I received Chryslers offer, Elliot confirmed that it's a good resolution. I'm in the process of receiving my money back for the vehicle. Hopefully it goes smoothly but if not, I have the peace of mind that I can open the case back up with Elliot.
