In addition to his skills in lemon law, he, early on, established himself as the office expert in repossession cases performing complex interpretation of the repossession notices and violations thereof. Elliot is skillful in all areas of vehicle law."
"I have worked with Elliot on several consumer fraud matters over the past few years. He is an expert on the subject, a skilled litigator, and tenacious advocate for his clients. I endorse this lawyer."
"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."
