Law Offices of Elliott Abrams in Walnut Creek, CA

Elliot has been our estate attorney since 2005. He is so easy to work with, very friendly and very professional. We recently had him update our trust and it was done very quickly - he is a pleasure to work with! If you need an attorney I highly recommend Elliott Abrams.

Ten years ago we had to close our failing business and seek professional bankruptcy help. Elliott Abrams came highly recommended and it proved to be the best decision we could make. His advice and help with the filing ensured that everything would proceed quickly and properly. It was a very difficult time for both of us and without his calm and professional demeanor things would never have come out as well as they did. He even helped set up the final discharge court appearance to be done by phone as we couldn't either afford the plane fare from FL or be away from an ailing family member. Elliott made a terrible time in our lives bearable and we have moved forward and are quite happy with our new lives. Thank you so much Elliott.

Declaring bankruptcy was an incredibly difficult emotional decision for me to make. But when I finally came to terms with the fact that my business had failed, and I simply had no way to repay the debt that I had accumulated, I stumbled upon Elliott Abrams. Elliott explained the procedure to me in great detail, and without judgment. As a result, I signed the papers to retain him as my attorney, and left the office. Life has a funny way of throwing twists and turns at us. Four years later… after unexpectedly having to deal with a seemingly unending series of difficult events… including cancer… I still had not filed. And during that period of time, Elliott, and his AMAZING legal assistant, Ellen Johnson, hung in there with me. They always were there for me. They had my back! I’ve finally filed at this time, but frankly… without the assistance and never ending emotional support I received from Ellen, I don’t know that I would have made it. And when I walked back into Elliott’s office, with the paperwork ready for my signature… Elliott was waiting, still without judgment, as he patiently and compassionately took me through the signing of the documents. And when I left, it was with the feeling that a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Am I suggesting that bankruptcy is an easy answer or that we shouldn’t act responsibly? No. Never! But, if that time should come for you, also… when there isn’t another choice, please go to Elliott Abrams. I promise that you won’t regret your decision! Note: I apologize for not using my name. That is a personal choice, but one I imagine you can understand.

We were very pleased with Elliott's services during our bankruptcy and preparation of our Will. He and his paralegal Ellen are an amazing team who take care of every detail prior to submitting the filing. Elliott is very forthright in explaining the potential challenges and researches new case law to prepare the best outcome for each individual client. He is always fully prepared at the hearings and promptly returns phones calls. Ellen is very generous with her time. She explains the process, walks you through the necessary forms and answers questions thoroughly. Most of us our novice with legal procedures and it can feel overwhelming starting the process. They always return calls and reply to e-mails the same day which is rare in the legal industry. I highly recommend Elliott, and in fact, have referred close family members who had a very successful outcome as well.

I thoroughly researched several attorneys to have our family's legal papers updated and chose Mr. Abrams. He provided us with outstanding work, personal focus and attention to detail. He is excellent, and I highly recommend his services. Jon Sargent
