I have been doing business with Steven for the past 5 years with great professionalism and results. His track record with our office has been tremendous. He will always get you the results you would expect from a tenured attorney. I highly recommend you consult with Mr. Steve Elia before signing with other attorneys.

I have known Steve for over 4 years and he has been a very valuable resource personally and for clients. I have seen him go beyond what he was getting paid for to make sure that things got done right and he has always made himself available for questions that I have. I would recommend him as someone to interview if you need an attorney to handle entity formation or business transactional needs.”

Steve was representing one of my clients with a real estate and loan transaction and was extremely helpful to both myself and the client. He explained all the process and the steps that our mutual client was to overcome, which through Steve’s expertise we were able to accomplish. Steve has always been a true professional, and I would highly recommend anyone that needs an attorney within the real estate arena to contact him.
