Elan is the absolute best! I’m so glad I found him and so very grateful for his honesty and explaining to me what would be ahead if I pursued my issue further in the same manner and making me realize how it can be resolved quickly. He was very clear and provided legal reasoning, logic and really made me understand the issue and possible complications from the legal prospective while answering all my questions without ever saying he doesn’t know (area where others failed). I’m still stunned at how he was able to get me to see the light so quickly when I was dealing with this issue for almost a year. He reviewed my case thoroughly, spent over an hour consulting me and talking through the process, costs, the facts and claims we would need to prove and how we would do it. He also explored the case from the opposite side, which is something where other attorneys failed. He is extremely smart, talented, very calm and collected and an amazing mediator. He shared his opinion when I asked and told me the truth about his expertise and experience including the areas he does not cover, made me realize I am missing a vital clause in my contract and provided a qualified referral. He was genuinely honest, helpful, extremely polite, not pushy and simply AMAZING! When I emailed him with an unexpected turn of events, he called me and walked me through what I need to do and kept me on the right track. I am forever grateful and thankful for his help. This is the first attorney who didn’t say he doesn’t know or some other ambiguous legal staff which left me wondering with all the what if’s and without a solution. He clearly summarized the facts and presented my legal position, the counter-side’s legal position, legal dispute and enabled me to make an informed logical decision based on legal facts, which is exactly what I wanted. He will be my go-to for all business issues! I highly recommend Elan! He is hands down the best attorney. He is a problem solver! Whatever your issue is- try to get in touch with Elan and I am sure it will get resolved quickly and painlessly!

If you need a civil dispute resolution attorney, Elan is your guy! Absolutely brilliant! I was involved in a seemingly-endless nightmare of having to handle simultaneously a criminal and civil case. Elan helped me out with the latter (he doesn’t practice criminal law), which arose from the dismissal of the former. Basically, the plaintiff in the civil case was the complainant in the criminal case. She had me wrongfully arrested and then, after the criminal case was dismissed, sued me for $25,000 – the jurisdictional limit – in Civil Court. She was relentless there, perjuring herself over and over, in asserting what I thought to be (and still think) were completely frivolous claims. At first, I represented myself since both Elan and I came to the conclusion when the civil case was just starting that it would not make economic sense for me to retain him. However, after I was denied summary judgment and it became clear that I was headed for trial, I simply could not continue to be a pro se defendant. In my mind, there was no one other than Elan who could handle my case since he knew the facts of my case inside and out. I therefore pleaded with Elan—who is not inexpensive but is worth every penny and more for what he charges—to represent me, even though paying for the representation would be difficult. Lo and behold, in response to my concerns, Elan was able to come up with a workable, affordable plan that alleviated them: he arranged to partner with two other lawyers who had time to come to court, prepare papers, and otherwise argue the case. I ended up having a legal “Dream Team” that I could afford! In conjunction with the other lawyers on the team, Elan planned, strategized, and directed case management operations while simultaneously drawing on his alternative dispute resolution skills in attempting to get the case settled out-of-court. While such an out-of-court settlement ultimately did not occur, the civil case did settle at a pretrial conference after a new judge was suddenly assigned to it when the judge originally assigned to the case received a new standing assignment. In this regard, I believe that G-d gave the team and me some divine assistance since the new judge had decided some of the case law that Elan had been using as part of his overall game plan. The new judge ending up seeing things in a way that supported arguments that Elan and the team had arrived at and leaned on the plaintiff to encourage a settlement for what amounted to nuisance value. Finally, the nightmare was over! There are no words to describe Elan's brilliance. I was constantly amazed and hung on to his every word while I went through hell. At times, he shocked me every step of the way with his intelligence and vast legal knowledge. When it came to following up, Elan was on top of every angle and document, going above and beyond what any lawyer would normally do. In this regard, one month after the pretrial conference that ended in the case tentatively settling, he took the time to make sure that the settlement would not remain tentative by submitting additional documents to the Court demonstrating that I had fulfilled my settlement obligations. In short, everything was done perfectly and with an eye towards giving my interests the most protection possible. Throughout it all, Elan listened, cared, and made me feel appreciated. Most importantly, he knew the law inside and out and made me feel confident and reassured amidst all of the procedural and substantive hurdles that I faced such as motion practice and dealing with voluminous documents. Even when I initially suffered setbacks and became weary, he never gave up. In summary, Elan lives and breathes his job. He truly loves not only the law but helping people. Ethical, fair and honest, he will not disappoint you, and there’s absolutely no lawyer exactly like him in the wo

I had contacted Mr Weinreb for advice related to a construction problem I'm having. He was extremely informative and even though he does not get involved in this type of litigation, Mr Weinreb went to great lengths to explain some of the issues, and then provided three references who might be able to assist. Mr Weinreb went over and above to help. I would highly recommend him for advice.

I contacted Elan for a consultation regarding a litigation case, and he was incredible helpful. He explained everything in detail, went over multiple scenarios and options with me, and pointed out the pros and cons of each. He answered all of my questions and took the time to understand my situation as best as possible. Excellent experience overall, highly recommended.

Elan spent almost two hours of his morning consulting with me regarding my civil case. Elan patiently went over every possible scenario. He advised me extensively with detailed directions and quickly followed up with sample documents. Elan provided all the tools and directions to handle my civil case independently if I choose. He sincerely cares! I highly recommend Elan. He's professional, knowledgeable, intelligent and highly experienced.

Needed consultation on an open litigation and was very happy with my experience. Will be using Mr. Weinreb again in the future.

I emailed Elan regarding a possible lawsuit against a large corporation. He responded promptly with a very detailed email chock full of advice on how I could try to handle this dispute on my own, and at the end of the email offering his services if I was unable to resolve it on my own. I think the fact the he took so much time out of his day to provide valuable advice on what to try before starting a costly litigation- that is a sign of a very caring and HONEST attorney. Thank you Elan!

I was fortunate enough to consult with Elan regarding my situation and exploring my options. I found him to be extremely knowledgable with the law and truly caring, wanting to help me navigate the right approach. He was very gracious with the time he spent with me and most importantly, informative. If you have a legal issue, I recommend consulting/hiring him!
