Horrible! Its as if they had never gone to law school! Were unaware of new laws, and how they affected us. Their customer service is as bad as their horrible commercial!!! Find a different firm!

Angela de la Garza was professional and friendly right from the beginning through the final settlement! Margie

I retained this law firm for a possible divorce matter. I spoke with the lawyer, Jennifer one time and was given paperwork to fill out. I ended up not filling out the paperwork as I no longer needed their services and nothing was filed on my behalf. I called a couple of months later in order to ask a question and I never received a call back. After about a year when I was sure I no longer needed an attorney for any matter (not that it mattered if I did need an attorney because they wouldn’t call me back anyway), I called to get my retainer back. This took over a month and I had to continually call without receiving a call back. This law firm had come highly recommended through my union and my previous experience with them was positive. I asked how much I would receive back and they advised 400 less than I had paid! So to talk on the phone with them once, have them send you paperwork to fill out and then not use them costs 400 bucks. Based on hiring them through my union I actually received a significant discount as well. Office staff told me there are a lot of behind the scenes things that happen at lawyers offices. She must have been referring to the at least one “status of the case” charge they charged me for. Or the 12 minutes they charged me for an email reply. Or the nearly hour they charged me to put my name on a form draft motion…. I can’t comment on the quality of representation as I did not use them however, if you want to spend 400 dollars to retain a lawyer and not use them, than I would recommend them 10 out of 10! Be careful though because if you retain them on your own (not through a union) that cost would likely be closer to 800 dollars as I received a “discount.” I noticed another poor review was an individual who also retained through his union. He had issues with responsiveness, etc. Maybe they just don’t care about the people they get from the union(s) they represent. In any case, two thumbs down from me and if you are with a union based on the trend I see, maybe consider front line or Bruno or any other firm to represent you.

We contacted Elkus & Sisson,P.C. about a legal issue. My husband's call was returned promptly. Our experience was five stars all the way through the process. Brad Hansen was the attorney and Angela De La Garza his assistant. Both treated us with compassion and the quality of their work was impeccable. Angela kept us informed and explained everything! Angela went the extra mile on explaining to me how to work the new technology to get things done! We hope not to need any legal assistance in the future but ..if we do. We know who to call. It is just that easy.

Our attorney Zach Wagner was excellent. Will absolutely use again in the future if needed.

In 2017, I retained Elkus & Sisson through my union's legal defense fund to help deal with an issue where my paychecks had been mishandled and I was being shorted pay. They came highly recommended as a big shot law firm in the field, and I was highly disappointed with what I got. My attorney was Reid Elkus, and he regularly had difficulty making and completing phone calls with me, often failing to call when he was supposed to or when he did, only having 5-10 minutes to talk. On the occasions when we would chat about my case, I would frequently have to spend the entire time re-explaining my situation because he never seemed to remember any of it. My case ended up stretching out for 2 years, with Reid being unresponsive for months at a time. In a fit of productivity after one such call out, Reid did push my employer and get them to agree to a suitable settlement, but then he went unresponsive again and failed to follow through on making the settlement come to fruition. As it turned out, I ended up having to take the terms of the settlement to my employer myself and get them to follow through on their agreement to get my backed pay without his assistance. Throughout the process, I was regularly frustrated with Reid's habitual unresponsiveness and the feeling that my case wasn't "important enough" or "big enough" to rate for a big-shot law firm. I was deeply disappointed with the representation that I got throughout the process, and I reported as much to my union when the process was done. I've since had another occasion to retain another law firm, and my experience was eye-opening. It really hammered home just how miserable my experience with Elkus & Sission was. Do yourself a favor and go with a smaller firm that is going to be more interested in doing right by their client.

This is a great firm! They really helped me out with the insurance company when I got in a car accident. The person's insurance company who T-boned me running a read light tried to hide the fact that I should be compensated money wise for a rental car. Great work Elkus &Sisson!!!

Following a car accident that left me injured, I thought being upfront and responsive to the at fault party’s insurance company would help get my medical bills and loss wages taken care of in a fair and timely manner. I was wrong. I realized the stress I was enduring was not only slowing down my healing, but it was intensifying and worsening my symptoms. After receiving my first settlement offer from the insurance company, I knew it would be an uphill battle that I was not prepared to fight and decided to seek legal services. Instead of going to an attorney that gave himself a “pet name”, I decided to do some research and find a reputable firm. I found Elkus & Sisson, P.C and a meeting was immediately scheduled. I met with both Don Sisson and Steven Mandelaris. Both made me feel at ease and went into detail on every step I could expect. One sentiment that stood out to both my husband and I was they both wanted me to just concentrate on getting better. At that point, that’s all I needed to do. Mr. Mandelaris was in constant communication with me and was available any time to answer any questions I had. He walked me through completing forms and always made sure I understood the meaning of each document and step I was encountering. I am extremely grateful for all the help Mr. Mandelaris gave me. In the end, all his help allowed me to remedy my injury and receive a proper settlement.
