Best Lawyer Ever!!!!

I feel so ashamed that I hadn't followed through with my promise! Better late than never I suppose! We all have this preconceived notion of how an attorney is. I can tell you first hand that Eliot and his team are on the opposite side of the spectrum. Absolutely amazing team. Let me start with his st...aff. They always answered everything immediately for me. Never had to wait, quick detailed responses and absolute care for their clients. Nothing short of absolute friendliness. Now let me move onto the man himself. From the first time I met Eliot, he seemed more like a caring friend or family member. Before getting into the specifics of my case, he wanted to know how my personal health was. How I was feeling after my injury. He would ask about my family and how they were doing, with utter sincerity. He also represented my little sister and would always ask how she was doing. Eliot is more than an attorney. He is a friend first, a newly adopted family member and then a lawyer! His expertise and efficiency were nothing short of astounding. Now for a little story...... Two pastors and a lawyer are up in heaven. St. Peter is taking them around to their houses that they will live in for eternity. As they walk down the streets laden with gold, they come up to a little rickety shack with nails half way banged in, duct tape hanging off here and there. St. Peter tells the first pastor "Here is your house!." The pastor asks St. Peter "Are you sure this is mine? I served the almighty my entire life!" St. Peter says "Yup, yup. That's your house. I built it this morning myself." St. Peter walks a little further up the road with the other two. They come up to another shabby looking shack. St. Peter says "Alright Pastor Jim, here is your house!" Pastor Jim is shocked and says "St. Peter, are you sure this is mine? I dedicated my entire life to the Lord." St. Peter assures him that this is his house. So St. Peter and the attorney go up the road a little further. They come up to this gigantic beautiful golden mansion. St. Peter tells the attorney "Here is your house for all of eternity!" The attorney asks him "Are you sure this is mine? Why would I get this big beautiful mansion when the two pastors got those two shacks?" St. Peter says "Those pastors, we have plenty of them up here. You're the first lawyer that's ever made it!" If this was a true story, that lawyer would absolutely be Eliot. As long as he is around, I will never use another personal injury lawyer besides him. Do yourself a favor and hire this man and his team! I can promise that you won't be disappointed. Thank you Eliot and your team for all that you did for me! I will be forever grateful.

Outstanding Attorney!

When I had a severe auto accident, we obtained a referral from our recently retired Lawyer. That referral was Eliot Reiner. This man took the time to come to our home and meet with us face to face when I wasn’t able to go to him due to my injuries. He did not rush through the initial meet with ...us. He did a very thorough job identifying all my injuries and the facts of my case. By the end of that initial meeting, I knew we had the right attorney representing us. Once he did accept our case, he kept us in the loop on every development of the case throughout the entire length of it. In the end, he exceeded what I had expected to see in a settlement. We also have a great friend in him as well. I couldn’t be happier!

Is Eliot Reiner a Deity?

I don’t know, but I wonder. After a multicar-collision in which I sustained serious injuries requiring surgery, I was referred to Eliot by a family friend. We have developed a truly special relationship of respect, trust and friendship. I thought I might be unique, but after reading many, many oth...er reviews by friends (clients) of Eliot, I know that his talent and his heart are big enough to encompass a huge population, while making the individual feel that he/she is the only one that matters. Like many other reviewers, my case had several medical and legal complexities. Eliot understood, and in many cases could foresee, the possible complications and was able to position ourselves for different outcomes. Through his excellent work and knowledge of the system and the other parties, he was able to obtain the maximum payment for me under my uninsured motorist policy, so we completely avoided a lawsuit and court hearings. He hopes for the best outcomes, makes them happen and truly cares for the individual. He is a legal god to me! (BTW, his favorite target of his humor is himself, so he would totally disagree with my last statement and would point out that his wife would also take serious issue with it….)

Motorcycle Accident

My husband suffered from back pain directly related to a motorcycle accident. The accident left him with decreased mobility causing inability to work our self-employed business. The final result of the accident was back surgery which placed us further behind. Our current insurance policy only covered... a small portion of our expenses. Eliot Reiner took our case and through his expertise managed to get us the settlement we deserved. My husband and I are very pleased with the settlement Eliot acquired for us, plus the way funds were divided was fair to all. Eliot's expertise was above and beyond what we expected and we are grateful for his assistance with our claim.

AMAZING LAWYER

Eliot is THE BEST lawyer anybody could ask for as far as a personal injury lawyer. Eliot goes above and beyond for all of his clients and is honest with you about EVERYTHING along the whole journey. He makes sure his clients are OK & he genuinely cares about them and their health. Eliot came to my ho...use after my accident to personally meet me just shortly after my car accident when I got rear ended. He was there for me from DAY 1 and still is even after my case has settled. I look at Eliot like a family member and he is so easy to get along with. He's punctual, caring, sweet, and gets you what you deserve. I couldn't recommend him enough. You will be EXTREMELY happy hiring him as your lawyer. He's the best!! I will definitely rehire him if, unfortunately I get injured again. (not planning on it however!)
