He's a great guy and lawyer!

Me and two of my friends got into a car accident about two years ago and decided that it would be a good idea to lawyer up! We all met with Elliot and he gave us a very informative and in depth run down of things to expect (as we had no prior experience). He was very warm, welcoming and funny! After ...we left we went back to our normal lives, as if nothing had happened! He contacted us when things were needed and he always had good advice to give. When it came time to settle he pushed hard for us to get what we deserved and what's more is that he lowered his cut off the settlement because he didn't feel that he needed to be paid more than us! What a great guy and lawyer! Thank you Elliot for representing us and making it such a pain free experience. I can say hands down if I have any other needs for a lawyer in the future I'm going to be knocking on Elliot's door! I recommend him to anyone!

Eliot Reiner is the best!

If you're so unfortunate to need an accident/injury attorney, we highly recommend Eliot Reiner for representation. A friend suggested Mr.Reiner because, from her experience, he would be one who would "hold our hands" and guide us through the lengthy process until it was completely settled. Mr.Reiner ...and his friendly staff kept us updated and always returned our calls promptly. His experience was evident as he timed each action he took in order to gain the best possible results for settlement. Mr.Reiner was proactive and cautionary for our best interest. My daughter and I were so blessed to have survived such a horrific car crash and fortunate to have had Mr.Eliot Reiner represent us. Do not hesitate calling him if you need help.

Best possible settlement

As a passenger in the rear seat of a car I was injured when we were rear-ended at night by a man in a truck reaching for his cell phone. Of course, he was under-insured. Four injured people split the minimal available insurance proceeds from the driver at fault. Several years after the accident, I... collected as much as it was possible to collect on the secondary under-insured motorist claim. This outcome was entirely because, despite the relatively small potential claim proceeds, Eliot kept at it. Over a period of years Eliot helped me navigate the health care system to get the best care I could get for my injuries and urged me not to give up on finding relief. I will always have pain and disability as a result of the accident but I know that, with Eliot's guidance, at least I am taking advantage of the treatments, procedures, and education that are available to help me deal with it. When the insurance company dragged out the claim process, claimed that they had not received my medical records, and otherwise delayed, Eliot reassured me. I had never been before been injured in a car accident and had never worked with an attorney for anything but real estate transactions. I was skeptical. However, there is no way that I could have navigated the claims process without an attorney. More importantly, without Eliot's assistance I doubt that I could have tapped the health care resources that have helped me deal with my injuries. Eliot is smart, knowledgeable, and nice. He bugged me for updates and would not let me forget that he was there. Before I knew it, he was like family.

Excellent Choice

Initially I was bed ridden and Eliot came to the house and met with me. He really took the time to listen to me and was very interested in trying to get me the proper care so I could return to my normal activities as much as possible. He helped me understand that back injuries are a serious matter ...and that I needed to take the time to heal properly for the best possible outcome. His guidance and understanding of the legal process and the medical system took the pressure off me so I could just focus on healing. I appreciated his matter-of-fact approach and candor, it was refreshing. He helped me find a way to pay for my medical expenses before the case settled because I did not have medical insurance and needed many surgeries and doctor visits. I personally feel that I was treated in several medical offices because of their confidence in Eliot. I didn't always have the money to pay right away but I always got treatment when I told them Eliot Reiner was my attorney. Eliot and his staff were always kind, reassuring and responsive. I could not have asked for a better settlement, Eliot fought hard for me. I'm glad I listened to his advice and counsel. I will never be 100% better but Eliot made the road to today as smooth as possible and he is the reason I am back out running again! This man truly cares about you and getting you back to the activities you did before you were injured.

Trusted lawyer

Eliot, gets results! Our situation has been two phased due to the nature of the injury. Eliot was able to obtain very satisfactory results at the on set. During the current process, Eliot has guided us extremely well with clear and cogent advice. His communications has been very understandable and h...e has provided us with meaningful support and a truly professional relationship. He listens to ones concerns and provides appropriate direction. We always understand the status of our legal circumstances.
