Personal injury attorney

I had never had to use an attorney before and selected Eliot Reiner from reviews online. I had also wanted to use an attorney not associated with a large law firm. Eliot was PERFECT! He not only gave me great individual attention by answering questions in a timely manner but definitely knew what h...e was doing. Legally he took charge of my claim and honored all his commitments to a tee but became a trusted friend and advisor in the process. He was also knowledgeable when it came to health care and his advice sure helped me to get the care I needed. I would not hesitate to give Eliot the highest marks and am so glad that I made the call.

Thorough and Diligent

My wife and I utilized the help of Eliot Reiner when my wife and 3 kids were involved in a serious accident back in 2000. He was there to help us every step of the way, despite the other driver (at fault) having very limited coverage. Unfortunately, our son was involved in a serious accident with... an uninsured motorist in December 2020. Eliot knew immediately who I was and recalled the full accident from 20 years ago. Despite the other driver having no insurance and my son having very limited uninsured motorist coverage, Eliot immediately accepted this case and gave it his full attention. Eliot’s attention to detail, coupled his very high knowledge of the law and hard work ethic has stood out. My family and I are grateful for everything he has done! If needed, we would not hesitate to call him again and again. And we would refer him to family and friends. Sincerely, Kyle and Anna Starr

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….)
