My practice is primarily concentrated on criminal, family and personal injury matters, while also emphasizing transactional work, such as estates, contracts and the like. I received my B.B.A. degree from the University of Miami, Florida and received my J.D. degree from Hofstra University School of Law in Long Island, New York. I have been involved in numerous cases before the Court, serving many different needs for my clients. At an extremely young age, I always dreamed about practicing law with my father, who has 35 years of experience. I knew from the beginning that we would be a successful father-son team. I have been fortunate enough to quickly learn his art of the practice of law, that he is so widely known for in the area. In most firms, a young associate is usually only involved in a part of a case, delegating the more important part to a senior associate or a partner. The result is that in many of those cases, the younger associate never witnesses the end result of that case. However, I have been fortunate to be involved in all phases of my clients' cases, thereby guiding the client through all of the twists and turns that each case invariably takes. This has given me a better perspective of what is required in order to achieve a favorable result for my clients. Moreover, since I am in the early stages of my career, my hourly billing rate is considerably reduced, yet, when an individual retains the services of Elling & Elling, they always receive not just my input but that of my father as well. This arrangement is a win-win situation for prospective clients, since it results in affordable legal fees, especially those that have been affected by this economy.
