I spoke with Holly to ask advice in retaining an attorney for a civil matter. She spent close to twenty minutes listening and providing information on civil matters pertaining to my case. With her sound advice/legal information I was able to make an educated decision on whether or not to pursue this case. Thank you for taking your time to talk with me.

Ms. Holly represented me during my case. Holly was extremely helpful with the needs of my case and always ensured I was being taking care of by my medical team. Along with Holly the Team at Elia Law Firm was very knowledgeable, prompt, professional, and most important compassionate. I received updates regularly regarding my case and explained to me in a way I would understand. This was the first time I had to deal with a car accident, pain, lots of doctor appointments, insurance companies, and lawyers. It required many different components to treat my pain and try to get me "back to normal". Holly made it easy where I did not have to deal with any of the hassle of getting visits approved or having to pay out of pocket. I was able to focus on getting better. I'm grateful to have come across her law firm.Thank you Holly and the Team!

We have had a relationship with Steve and his team for years as a part of our small business. In a complex Federal case, which we were named as co-defendants, Steve was able to think outside of the box and bring all parties together (in person, at his office) in order to reach a fair settlement - saving tens of thousands of dollars for all who were involved. This is just one of many examples that speak to the experience level, professionalism and outstanding work performed by the Elias Law Firm on behalf of their clients. We highly recommend.

Steven is very helpful and goes above and beyond for his clients. He is very knowledgeable and saved us from a bad transaction. I am very thankful for his expertise. Holly and Steven also created a family trust which unfortunately we had to use due to an illness in the family. Any question my family had, Holly and Steven answered immediately and we are thankful for them.

Impressive in many respects.Steven and Holly made me feel like they had my back at all times.It was not only in words but also, more importantly, in deeds.When they say they are committed to the "highest ethical standards," they mean it!!I always say, doctors and lawyers are the two professionals I can do without ever visiting, but I am eternally grateful they are their when we need them. Especially when they know what they are doing!!

Steve and Holly are legends, I'm so grateful I was referred to them from a good friend. I was hit on my motorcycle by someone on their phone and it affected me with serious life changing injuries. The Elia law firm worked diligently to consider every dimension of the case and always put me first. They are true advocates for their client and unlike many others in the industry, they put their clients interests before their profits. Their communication was great and their experience in the field of auto/motorcycle accidents showed and helped me get my life back. I highly recommend this firm and I'm confident that whatever it is you need assistance with, they'll help you achieve the best possible result.

Some of the reviews clients sent directly to us…
“We contacted the Steven Elia law firm after being referred by a friend. Steve was professional and knowledgeable and very sympathetic to our legal problem. He immediately put our minds at ease. He explained his high work ethic and his dedication to working long hours. We felt relieved and confident that this firm would represent us swiftly and aggressively. My case was complicated but it was comforting that his firm made it of the utmost importance and priority. His staff was very professional and personable as well. As we worked through our case we always felt a level of empathy for what we were going through not only legally but emotionally. Whether you are suing or being sued it is stressful and emotional. They talked us through these emotions and understood the stress we were under. As our case is coming to a close we will continue to use The Steven Elia Law Firm for any future legal issues or advice. We feel like family to the firm.”

We have tried three jury trials together where I was able to personally observe Steve’s trial skills, oral argument skills, and organization and handling of evidence. I have worked on several corporate business cases with him as well. Steve is one of the smartest, hard-working, and responsible persons I have ever met. He sincerely cares about his clients.
