Elliot Green

Elliott Green, I will truly recommend. He was with my case all the way and mind you he took my case 2 weeks before my hearing. As the process began he gave updates not right away because I'm not his only client. Mr.Green might seem that he's not focusing on your case or don't care. Also, he is not therapist but He cares for your case. wanna thank you Mr. Green and I didn't forget about Suelen loved your Truth speaking and amazing on my case! Thank You!

I worked with Elliot through a contested divorce and custody case, and I can say he's genuinely great at what he does. He's sharp, steady, and clearly knows family law inside and out — every time I needed him on something substantive, he delivered and made me feel like I was in good hands.

I kept him on all the way through mediation. When my case eventually went to court and going through litigation, I personally needed someone I could reach almost any time, more for my own sanity than anything else, and Elliot runs a busy practice. That was about my needs in that specific phase, not about his skill — he never dropped the ball on anything that mattered.

If you're looking for a knowledgeable, capable family lawyer, Elliot is a strong choice. Grateful for everything he did for me.

In a high conflict custody battle with an unreasonable ex, I felt defeated every day I’d get 20 messages from my ex about how horrible of a person I was. I was scared I’d lose custody despite knowing I follow the court orders and did not put my child in harms way. My ex’s ability to accuse me of what they were doing blew my mind. The kind of trauma i experienced was something I couldn’t even imagine or understand someone would feel or someone would want to make another feel. I needed help and fast!

I contacted at least 25 attorneys or firms before I chose Elliot to represent me, and I cannot feel more certain I made the right decision. He called me back immediately (and this never ended- I’ve never met a lawyer who calls you back same day no matter the time!!)

Elliot kept my expectations measured and realistic. He would not overpromise, and his professionalism kept me grounded. I never had to wait. He always listened (even when it was silly what I was complaining about). Family issues impact you personally and emotionally day to day, and require acute attention to ever-changing, fact-intensive issues. The way Elliot showed up for me helped me show up for my child blew my mind. He kept the hearing accountable to the law and the facts. I cannot give him enough stars.

Exactly who I needed when I needed him most!! His presence (and skill) is exactly what I needed to make sure my voice was heard and rights weren’t trampled on by the other side. Thank you Elliot!

Mr. Green ensured that my previous review was removed, even though it had a significant amount of engagement and support from others. Because of that, I had to rewrite it carefully to make sure it follows all guidelines.

Over the last three years I have noticed that negative reviews about Mr. Green on Google seem to disappear. For that reason, it may be helpful to look at other review platforms, such as Yelp, to get a broader sense of other people’s experiences.

In my experience, he has been very disorganized. Not sure is that on purpose. Paperwork was sometimes submitted on the day of the conference, if it was submitted at all, which contributed to delays and adjournments. In New York, that can mean waiting another five or six months, if not longer, to appear before the judge again. I also found his email communication unprofessional, especially for someone with a doctoral degree. It was poorly worded and lacked professionalism.

Overall, I do not think he is necessarily a bad lawyer. His fees appear to be among the lower end of the market in New York, which likely attracts a high volume of cases. Based on publicly available court records, he appears to handle a substantial caseload. In my experience, that lower cost and heavier caseload seemed to come at the expense of time, attention, and progress, resulting in delays, frustration, and increased legal expenses.
